Hi, sheam!

Your printer's model number should be in plain view on the top and/or the front of your printer.  Canon printer models usually have model names that begin with 2 or 3 letters--such as iP, MP, MF, MX, MG, MB, or LBP, to name a few--followed by as many as 4 numerals.  Once you find this, you will have found your printer's model number.  Search for the model name at http://usa.canon.com and you'll find the drivers right away.

If this is a time-sensitive matter, our US-based technical support team is standing by, ready to help 24/7 via Email at http://bit.ly/EmailCanon or by phone at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) weekdays between 10 AM and 10 PM ET (7 AM to 7 PM PT).

Thanks and have a great day!

I am also having the problem of not locating my model number. I have a Pixma MX4350. I found my serial number but that is it. Where can I find my model number??? I’m trying to add the printer to a google chrome book

You're so close, Agnewdreamer!  That series of PIXMA printers tends to have just three numerals in its model number instead of four.  For example, Canon USA has released the PIXMA MX432 and the PIXMA MX452.  Please take another look at your printer and you should see the right model number.
