Overview

Unlock the full potential of driverless printing with Canon Print Assistant, a free PSA developed by Canon. It is designed to extend print capabilities beyond what the IPP Class Driver can provide alone.

Print is undergoing a transformation, moving toward a model that operates without the need for print drivers. Leading this shift is Microsoft’s Modern Print Platform,Footnote1 which transitions from driver-reliant operations to a driver-free model by utilizing Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) Class drivers.Footnote2 According to Microsoft,Footnote3 this new platform removes the need for traditional printer drivers, offering a straightforward, secure, and reliable printing experience. However, IPP Class drivers are restricted to generic print settings. Users looking for a more advanced, feature-rich workflow may need to adopt a Print Support Application (PSA) to help transition to this new printing method.

To bridge this gap, Canon Print Assistant is designed to expand printing functionality and deliver a more familiar, feature-rich, and intuitive printing experience that goes beyond what the IPP Class Driver can offer on its own.Footnote4
