What Is a Printer Driver?

A driver is a small program your computer needs to use a printer. Without it, your computer doesn’t know how to talk to the printer. It’s like trying to call someone without a phone — nothing happens.

Once you install the right driver, your computer and printer can work together properly. That’s really all there is to it.

Why You Need the Right Driver

Not every driver works the same. The LBP664Cx has features like two-sided printing, Wi-Fi connection, and Canon’s UFR II print system. If you use the wrong driver, those features won’t show up at all.

I made this mistake once. I let Windows pick a driver on its own. The printer worked, but two-sided printing was gone, the paper size kept changing, and the quality looked bad. When I downloaded the real Canon driver, everything worked perfectly. Big difference.

Where to Download the Canon imageCLASS LBP664Cx Driver

Only download from Canon’s official website. Seriously — there are many fake sites out there that can put bad software on your computer. Don’t risk it.

Here’s how to get it safely:

Go to canon.com (or your local Canon site, like usa.canon.com)
Click Support at the top
Search for LBP664Cx
Choose your operating system
Download the Full Driver & Software Package

The file is pretty large — around 300MB to 500MB. So just wait for it to finish before you do anything else.

How to Install on Windows

Once the download is done, here’s what to do:

Open your Downloads folder and find the .exe file
Double-click it — click Yes if Windows asks for permission
Follow the steps on screen — the installer will guide you
Choose USB or Wi-Fi depending on how you’re connecting
Wait 3 to 5 minutes — don’t close it, even if it looks stuck
Restart your computer when it tells you to

How to Install on Mac

Macs work a little differently. When you plug in the printer, your Mac might offer to download a driver for you. That sounds helpful, but the version it downloads is usually missing some features.

Better to install it yourself:

Download the driver from Canon’s website
Open the .dmg file and run the installer
Go to System Settings > Printers & Scanners
Click the “+” to add a new printer
Pick the LBP664Cx and make sure the Canon driver is selected

If you have a newer Mac with an M1, M2, or M3 chip, the driver still works. Canon has also been releasing updated versions for these chips, so check the site for the latest one.

What’s Inside the Full Driver Package?

You get more than just a driver. The full package includes:

UFR II Printer Driver — this is the main driver for printing
Canon Printer Management Tool — shows toner levels and lets you change print settings
Network Scan Utility — for scanning over Wi-Fi (on supported models)
User Manual — saved as a PDF

The management tool is actually pretty handy. It shows you how much toner is left and warns you before it runs out. I’ve found it useful more than once when I needed to print something important and had no idea the toner was almost gone.

What to Do If Something Goes Wrong

Printer not found after installation

Check your USB cable — make sure it’s plugged in properly
Try a different USB port
On Wi-Fi, make sure the printer and your computer are on the same network

Print quality is bad

Open printer settings and check if it’s set to Draft mode — change it to Standard or High
Use the management tool to check your toner level

Mac can’t find the printer on Wi-Fi

Restart your router and the printer
Make sure Bonjour is turned on — Canon uses it to find printers on the network

Keep Your Driver Updated

Canon updates their drivers from time to time — usually to fix small bugs or keep things running well after a Windows or macOS update. It’s worth checking Canon’s support page every few months to see if a newer version is available.

Windows Update might catch driver updates sometimes, but the Canon website usually has the most complete and up-to-date version. Better to check there directly.
