I am hoping that somebody here could derect me a link  where i could download the driver and software thank you if this is posseble. Jopie

Th MP170 has been retired, no new drivers and updates are being provided. Here is the last driver and programs available for download:

Hi I have downloaded from that site but could not find any drivers soft ware yet. if the drivers are there could you let me know what to download, is it eppx-4_7_0-en, are the drivers in that program?I am a senior lady  and make lots of mistakes re computer. I thank you for your help and the fast reply

My information says that the MP170 driver is not in that file and a Windows 10 driver is no longer available from Canon. I cannot find one on archived driver file sites that I trust either. Unless Windows itself has it, and if it did it would see the printer when connected using a printer cable, and install the driver.

Look under Window 7 x64. The 7 driver ought to work in Windows 10.

The Windows 7 driver can be found on the link I posted above along with printer programs. I will post the driver here for you:

thank you for the driver, it installed,  the printer  I can see in device man. I also can see it in printers and scanners where it says default error., the printer print good on his own,   without conected to the pc.  changed cables same result, changed to another usbport same result. when I want to print a email out it does not  show up  in the list of the printer page,  could you recoment any other things I can try thanks for all your help

Did you try to print a test page from printers and scanners? If you saw a default error there, I don't think there is anything else you can do, the printer is no longer supported by Canon or Windows.

Did you PROPERLY install the printer in Windows? Typically with a USB connection printer, you install the driver BEFORE connecting it to the computer. The installation routine tells you what to do next.

If you started by connecting, then running installation, you need to UNINSTALL the printer software in Control Panel >> Programs and Features ( maybe Add/Remove Programs in Win10) to clear it from Device Manager  and Printers and Scanners.

Then restart the computer and install the printer again.

By the way, was the printer working well before you moved?
