PIXMA MX410 driver installation on new hard drive

reda6272 — Sat, 03 Aug 2024 13:47:43 GMT

Hello there; I have an old printer (MX410) that works just fine; since i installed a new hard drive, I cannot install my printer anymore because the driver is no longer available. Is there a way to do it, or I have to get a new one;

Thank you so much in advance.

Welcome to the forum!

While our Forum Community members are welcome to chime in, the PIXMA MX410 has been retired. That means we do not offer support for the printer or updated drivers.

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

Try the W10 drivers. They frequently work on W11. Your original post said printer was working fine until hard drive failed and you installed a new hard drive. Was W11 installed on old hard drive?

Yes I had W11 installed on the old drive; Ok I will give a try to W10 drivers and let you know; Thank you so much

Hi John; I gave it a try, but in the middle of the installation I connect the printer to the computer via cable but I keep getting the message that the printer can't be detected.

I’m out of ideas. Maybe someone else is following and has some thoughts.

I have similar problem. New Dell laptop with W11, no accessible driver for my MX410 and Canon tells me my MX410 is "Retired" and not supported and offers to sell me a new one 'at a discount'. I will take it (Canon MX410) to the trash. Will replace with any product except from the Canon product line. Any questions?

Agreed. I spent a lot of money (at the time) to get this MX410 that has auto feed, fax, scan, etc. Still working fine. I like that I can buy the ink locally right when needed..... BUT,,,, CANON NO LONGER SUPPORTS IT ????? Well, then neither do I. I will buy a different brand this time. It should be illegal. Money maker for Canon. But no more of my money.

Greetings,

The MX410 is 13 years old. It's probably safe to say that you don't keep your computer or mobile device for that long. Canon is no different from other manufacturers. None of them make all of the parts they need to build and service their products. When parts are no longer available. Canon can't repair things if they break. No manufacturer can This is beyond their control. This is why it's not reasonable to expect manufacturers to support their products indefinitely. If you've had your printer for 10+ years, you've received. a good return on your investment.

Good Point Shadowsports. It has been a good printer. But we are just talking software... not parts. I take good care of things so that they last longer. My truck is 13 years old too. Oil change every 3,000 miles. I am not in position to buy another one (70 yrs old) and if I did I could not afford auto feed options, etc. I just don't like how companies have so much control... like cell phones changing things to control when they feel its time for you to buy another cord, or ear piece, etc.... Iam not the only person on here that is saying that the machine is working just fine.... why throw it in the landfill?

Canon provides drivers on the support site for Windows 10 and older and macOS Sierra and older. I didn’t see where you said what OS you had, but if it used to work and now it doesn’t did you choose an OS update newer than these?

Thank you for the link. It does take you to the right place but the website states that it is retired and no longer supported. I am not alone with this dilema. I just hate throwing away a great printer that is working because they don't support the software. They want you to buy another one. That will teach em... they made too good of a product that lasted too long.

I just hate throwing perfectly good printers into the landfills. Think about how many Pixma MX410s are out there now disabled and headed to the landfills.

Did you read my previous post? Canon does provide drivers for operating systems up to W10 and macOS Sierra. It sounds like you made a decision to update to a new operating system that isn't supported. When someone does that they often find that many peripherals and software products are no longer supported.

It may be possible that the generic Windows printer driver will work. Apple doesn't support the MX410 via AirPrint.
