Driver for ARM based PC - Color imageCLASS MF8280Cw

Skudstrup — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 18:31:36 GMT

Anybody know where I can get a driver for my Imageclass MF8280Cw printer? I have the new Microsoft Surface Laptop series 7 64-bit operating system, ARM based processor.

The printer drivers on the Canon website will not install, and comes back with "This is not a 64-bit operating system" which is clearly is.

Canon: when will you get around to update your drivers?

Thanks

Thanks for letting us know what Canon product you've got. The imageCLASS MF8280Cw is an older model which we have retired. While that means that Canon USA no longer offers direct support for it, your friends here in the Canon Community are welcome to offer suggestions!

You can also speak with a Canon Upgrade Program specialist to help you score a modern replacement that would meet your current needs at a discount. You can reach them Monday through Friday at 1-866-443-8002.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Danny, and sorry to hear that Canon will not stand behind their products! Not quite the kind of incentive to buy another Canon product!

Hopefully, someone has a work around they can share. If not, I will then have to buy a new printer, and it will NOT be a Canon, that is for sure!
