Canon MF3110 Printing With Windows 7 64 Bit

Hi,

Firstly, thank You very much. What can I say brilliant job. You archive more than all Canon programmers all together. For, me you are genius. This "x64 MF3110 problem" was my headache for several years.

My printer working perfectly well. I menage to deal "check paper size" issue also. My scanner is functional, but... I cannot use MF Toolbox. When i tray to scan it gives me: "The scanner you selected cannot be found. please check the scanner status and cable confection". I tray to change some sharing options, buy without positive result.

Moreover when I use scanner in devices and printers I only can get 300 dpi instated of 600.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hello,

Thanks for the great info ! But my problems remains. I've MF3110 installed on a windows 7 x32 bit and working OK. What I'm trying to do is connect to this printer via a Windows 7 x64 bit machine.

I've tried telling windows to use the drivers for MF5750, but it says it can't connect to the printer. I also tried installing the MF5750 driver on the x64 machine hoping that this will solve the problem, but again nothing.

Any help will be appreciated ! :)

Hi! How do you guys install the MF5730 driver? I unzipped the folder and do not find any "installation" or setup files.

(sorry for my n00b question)

I followed a mix of the directions above - using the "update driver" sequences. I got lost in the process, stopped, continued, and somehow this worked. Including the scanner. Thanks!!

The MF3110 printer has been working great for my needs and this saved me from having to purchase another printer.

Thanks for the wireless recommendation. When I save a few more bucks, I will purchase the recommended printer.

Thank you for your help with using my new laptop with my old Canon 3110.

I've been trying this for a few hours but have been running into problems. After I download and run the .exe file from the canon website, I see the "MF5730_5750_MFDrivers_Win_x64_us_EN_7" folder that it created-- but when I try to install the driver by asking my computer to browse in this folder, it says "Windows could not find driver software for your device."

Am I missing a step? Was there something else I was supposed to install after extracting the files into that folder?

Thanks so much! I feel like I'm really close to getting this to work but don't know how to complete it. This would make my life much easier so i'd appreciate any advice!

I was trying very hard to look for a post that can help me with solve my printer compatibility problem, thanks to your post, after reading it, I was able to make my Canon MF3110 work.

Hi Justin, I've just purchased MF3110 though it's only used, came from my friend because he upgraded his printer to a new one. I've also encountered this problem, he told me I can use the vista drivers and it worked a charm for me though.

Hi! Do you have any suggestions how to connect my Brother MFC-6800 to Win7 64 bit? Thanks.

Instructions worked like a charm..Thank you both for all the time and effort put into this. I have a fully functional MF3110 again..using mf5700 drivers..THANKS

Here's a novel thought: If the driver for the MF5700 series works for the MF3110 with Windows 7 (64 bit) why doesn't Canon take the 30 seconds it would take to make this the official MF3110 driver? (Change the identifier or whatever it takes for Device Manager to recognize this as the driver for the MF3110.)

We can tweak this and tweak that and dink around for days (or years) trying to coax the thing to work, but rather than forcing us to waste millions of collective manhours trying to come up with work-arounds, why doesn't Canon take a few seconds to fix the problem???

For that matter, why not go completely hog wild and spend the 15 minutes it would take to write (or adapt) a driver that works with the thing???

If Canon thinks they will ever get my business for any product again, they are sadly mistaken! I know I am not alone in this sentiment. I don't know what it was that Canon hoped to accomplish by failing to support this fine printer, but it seems to me that the only possible outcome is that they lose customers and money --- I REEEEEALLY don't "get" it.

installing on windows2008 worked for installing printer as described thanks
but installing canon mf5770 scanner didn't work. i edited MF12SCN file, but i get this error
"windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device" code 18

thanks.

THANKS, I can print on my MF3110 with Win7 64 bit now.

The desktop is XP and connected to the printer; the laptop is W7 64

I have downloaded the 57xx driver to my laptop, but when I try to connect the printer in my homegroup, it asks me to find the driver, I select what I downloaded, but it will not work. It says file .INF is needed and that it cannot locate a suitable printer driver. Am I supposed to download that 7xx driver to my desktop? Your first answer to me was that if I have 64, it is possible, just more tricky. But your note from Dec 2010 says you have never been able to get a desktop W-XP to share with a W-7. So which is it? If I can do it, willl you please give me instructions? Thank you.

It is 64, and I should have stated that I cannot find my Cannon installation disk, in case that changes things. Also, I am hoping to have the printer connected to both my desktop and my laptop, not just one or the other. Thanks.

I have the Cannon ImageCLASS MF3110 connected to my desktop, which has Windows XP. Is it possible to also connect my new laptop, which has Windows 7?

I use canons all the time. Whenever something goes wrong I brace myself for the worst and I head to google for a fix . . .

Dear Justin, I've tried to follow your procedure but as I start the installation of the MF5730 driver, an error message shows "An older version of MF drivers exists in this computer. Uninstall the older version of MF drivers, and then try to install it again", even after having uninstalled all files related to elder printer in all possibles ways. I tried also to install the printer manually but when I select the single installation files of the MF5730 ( CNXRPUW2 / MF12SCN / MF5700AU ) an error message writes that they are not funcioning with x64 systems. How can I get into the register or how could I get rid of such hidden files? I have been tring everything so far. Thank you for your help. f@vodafone.it

I installed printer on Windows 7 64 and shared it with Vista 32. To make Windows 7 share manual driver with other computers go to Devices and Printers\Printer Properties\Share\Additional drivers. Then manually install 5700 Series drivers for all platforms.

Gents,
the printer is still fine with the MF5700 drivers.
The scanner is working fine with the method provided above.
I have it on Windwos 7 64bit Ultimate as a video and imaging device - MF3110.
I am still using it with any software that detects TWAIN attached devices (lirfan view) and also with the Canon Toolbox V4.9
Happy Christmas.

Thank you so much. It worked and I'm so appreciative of this fix. There is always so much satisfaction when you can"trick" a computer. Love it! I just bought a brand new PC (i7-870 with 12GB RAM, Windows 7 64 bit) I never thought I would not be able to use my Canon MF3110 and was dreading the idea of buying a new printer to replace a perfectly good laser printer. Thanks again!!!

I, too received a reply from Canon that they were not going to update my driver, for economical reasons, and offering me a "discount" on a new printer for $229 dollars.

I sent them a scathing reply on their customer service (or lack of) on a product I purchased only a couple years ago, and for the sole reason that I wanted something with longevity. I guess that's not important in the market anymore!

Then I stumbled on this site and it saved my bankbook! Took some working, but Milan's advice is what finally did it! Thanks to Milan I got the printer working and will not have to purchase a new one.

Thanks for this site!!!

I tried this trick with my MF3110 and Win7 64bits and it actually works!! Really really thanks you, you saved me a lot of money.

Funny enough, I wanted to take some screenshots and now the scanner is not recognised in the Toolbox V4.9 application. However, right option the MF3110 Scanner type, gives "Start Scan" so it works. It must be a misconfiguration in the selected toolbox app.

If you want some extra screenshots to compare how is done your setup and mine, please let me know.

Just to summarize, this method works even if it takes a bit to play around to achieve it !
it's just a bit tricky at one stage to force the update of the drivers with unsigned version made for another device type(MF5700).
You need to delete the printers being visible on your System manager tab. Then you click on adding a new printer using the method above (serial port)-> this will install the drivers locally on Windows.
Then, you can change the port type being used by the printer to USB port. It should recognise it as MF5700. Don't try to make it recognised as MF3110.
For the Scanner device MF3110 set as not working/no drivers found(type MF3110 -found with a new hardware scan), then select update driver on it with the method provided above (which is to add one entry in the config file (%LPTENUM\MF5770.DeviceDesc%=MF5770Install_XP,USB\VID_04A9&PID_2660&MI_00 in file MF5700AU.inf ) and point to this file for the right drivers version to install. Windows witl say it's not safe, but go ahead and apply.
If you install both the Canon Scanner Toolbox tools after the drivers of the MF5700, you should be able to select afterwards the Scanner detected
It took me a little while too to get it working as following the method above was not working, but finally, without tweaking too much, it works. Both printing and scanning on that device.

I have now two devices: 1 Printer MF5700 (aka 3110) and one MF3110 Scanner (categories Scanner where I updated manually the drivers. It let me choose the drivers that were selected and pointed to this MF5700AU.inf file )

This should help.
Cheers

Tried every solution provided, did not work for me (tried 2 different laptops) - the MF3110 keeps popping up as a separate device that doesnt work, while the 5750 comes on as a working driver, though can not print from it. At least someone made great effort and stride and this seems to work for others, not me. Canon should be ashamed of making this printer obsolete, I've had it for 4 yrs, will have to run it on an XP machine. This may offset my thoughts on purchasing another Canon printer, as they seem to leave their customers in the dust. HP has my attention for next time around, I have yet to own an HP printer that died because of outdated drivers, this Canon may be the very first to reach that status. Damn pitty.
