Troubleshooting common install issues

• Installer won’t start - Right‑click the file → “Run as administrator”. Temporarily disable overly aggressive antivirus if it blocks the installer.

• Device not detected over USB - Try a different USB port/cable, avoid USB hubs, and power on the printer before connecting.
• Wi‑Fi setup fails - Connect the printer to the same network as your PC, ensure the SSID/password are correct, and allow the installer through the firewall.
• Windows shows older driver - Uninstall existing Canon software from Apps & Features, reboot, then reinstall the latest canon mx490 driver.
• Print Spooler errors - Press Win+R → services.msc → restart “Print Spooler”. Clear C:WindowsSystem32spoolPRINTERS if stuck jobs persist.
• Signature enforcement on older Windows - On legacy systems, use Advanced Startup → Disable driver signature enforcement, then install, and re‑enable afterward.
