Where do download drivers for Canon PIXMA PRO-100

[ralphthemagi]

Where can you download drivers for the Canon PIXMA PRO-100? I remember they used to be on the support page (https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/pixma-pro-100), but it no longer shows any drivers or software, just "apps" for iOS/Android.)

It appears you are correct -- the Canon USA download site no longer has the drivers for the Pro-100 available and a note on the site says that the Windows version is no longer supported. I did find that the Asia Canon site does have a Pro-100 Windows driver available for download: https://asia.canon/en/support/0100452901   and the Singapore Canon site has a Mac driver available:  https://sg.canon/en/support/0100451402.. You didn't indicate which OS you are using.

BTW, beware of downloading drivers from a non-Canon site, including sites with names like canondrivers.com. It is safest to download drivers only from an OEM site, IMHO.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a major manufacturer remove drivers for a product like this before. Is this a new thing? This unit is old, but not that old. These were still on shelves at Best Buy 3-4 years ago. Wild.

Great idea about out using other regional sites. I would not have thought to do that. Will rememberer this for the future. Thank you.

AREYOU KIDDING ME?!?! How do they get away with this sh&*?   Never mind, I know the answer to that.

Any computer experts on here help me?  I'm using my Pro-100 now so obviously I have the driver.  How do I find it on my driver and store it elsewhere in case I should ever have a crash and/or have to reinstall it?

The drivers appear to be back again. I’m not sure what the issue is. Maybe some error on the US server causes them to “disappear” from time to time. Hard to say. Availability appears to be intermittent.

Yes good news.  But running windows which driver do I want?
p86l-win-pro_100-1_07-ea32_2.exe
or 
xp68-win-pro_100-5_87-ea32_2.exe
