What Should I Do If IJ.Start.Canon Setup Won't Download?

If the IJ.Start.Canon setup won’t download; it usually comes down to the internet, browser, or system settings. Here’s a structured troubleshooting guide you can follow to fix the issue quickly:

01 Check Internet Connection

A weak or unstable connection can block the Canon setup file download.

  • Verify Wi-Fi is stable and connected.

  • Restart your router if speeds are slow.

  • Try switching to a wired Ethernet connection.

 

02 Use a Different Browser

Sometimes the default browser blocks or fails to download the file.

  • Try Chrome, Edge, or Firefox instead.

  • Clear browser cache and cookies before retrying.

 

03 Disable Firewall/Antivirus Temporarily

Security software may block Canon’s installer as a false positive.

  • Pause antivirus protection during download.

  • Disable the firewall briefly, then re-enable it after installation.

 

04 Check Canon’s Official Site

Ensure you’re downloading from the correct Canon support page.

  • Go to https://ij.start.canon.
  • Select your printer model.

  • Confirm you’re downloading the latest driver version.

 

05 Try Manual Driver Installation

If the setup tool won’t download, you can install drivers manually.

  • Search for your printer model on Canon’s support site.

  • Download drivers directly without using the setup utility.

  • Run the installer manually from your Downloads folder.

 

Quick tip: Always re-enable your firewall/antivirus after installation to keep your system secure.
