Welcome to the forum!

While our Forum Community members are welcome to chime in, the PIXMA MP495 has been retired. That means we no longer offer support for the printer or updated drivers.

You can also speak with a Canon Upgrade Program specialist to help you locate an updated replacement that would meet your current needs at a discount. You can reach them weekdays and Saturdays at 1-866-443-8002.

Greetings,

I think its important to mention that this printer is 13 yrs old. It cannot be supported indefinitely. 10 yrs is typical.

A windows 10 driver is available and this might work with windows 11 if you'd like to give it a try:

Try installing the MP driver package first. If that goes well, you can add the XPS printer driver which includes support for printing in 16 bit color. At some point, I think it might be time to consider a new device. This one has certainly delivered its return on investment.
