Question

Can I install my printer if I don't have a disc?

Community Answer

Yes. Look for the model number online and download the drivers off of the Canon website. For example, if you had a Canon PIXMA G4200, you would search for "Canon PIXMA G4200 drivers" and download them from the Canon website.
