Mg8220 and new computer running win 10 drivers help

[Smiseel]

Hi,

 I need to install new drivers on my pc running win10 x64. I have an MG8220 multifunction printer. There are several drivers and I need help choosing between the xps and mp drivers. Can you tell me what to choose please?

MG8200 series MP Driver Ver. 1.01 (Windows 10/10 x64/8.1/8.1 x64/8/8 x64/7/7 x64/Vista/Vista64/XP/XP x64)	07/22/15	18.29 MB	SELECT
MG8200 series XPS Printer Driver Ver. 5.56 (Windows 10/10 x64/8.1/8.1 x64/8/8 x64/7/7 x64/Vista/Vista64)	07/22/15	15.68 MB	CLOSE
This file is a printer driver for Canon IJ printers. XPS printer drivers support 16-bpc printing, which enables more smooth gradation printing than the current drivers (8-bpc printing). File name xp68-win-mg8200-5_56-ejs.exe

Do I have to install firmware too?

Hello.

Download and install the MP Driver.  The XPS driver is optional and is only needed for certain programs.

It is not necessary to update the firmeware for Windows 10 use.
