    To be honest, you should always visit the manufacturers website and download the drivers when installing printers (or any hardware to be honest). It makes sure that you always get the latest drivers with bug fixes.

    Beware of updating the software on the printer though, most of that seems to be about stopping you from using 3rd party cheap replacement ink.

    If you just plug the printer into the USB, it is likely that the laptop will automatically set up the right drivers. Most of the stuff on the discs these days are utilities which you don't really need.
  • Hi,

    here's a link to Canon support, find your model > downloads > drivers.

    Try chrsw's suggestion first, then use link, if still no good, I have disc for PIXMA MP250 if you need it.
