Due to the number of useful features, the CBM1000 is still widely used in the U.S. If you need to update your CBM1000/CBM1000II printer drivers, follow our guide to downloading and installing the latest drivers.

Updating CBM1000 Printer Drivers 

Updating the drivers on your CBM1000 and CBM1000(II) printers requires downloading the latest driver version available. You can achieve this by opening the official Citizen Systems driver page. Before you do so, it's crucial to know that due to the discontinuation of the CBM1000 model, its users can still update their drivers by downloading the CBM-1000 (II) drivers.

When you open this page, you’ll have to find the necessary drivers from the list. You can find it by pressing the Windows button and symbol F. Win+F will open a Find tool in Windows, so simply type in CBM1000. 

There’s only one version that is available. Once you find it on the page, click the blue button Agree to licensing agreement and Download in the right corner. 

When the download is complete, unzip the folder and double-click the setup file. This will trigger the Setup for the latest CBM1000 printer drivers. After the installation is over, you may need to restart the PC and reconnect the printer for the drivers to finish updating. 

As of 2023, this driver pack is compatible with the following operating systems: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7. Unfortunately, operating system versions Windows 2000, Windows Vista, and Windows XP have been permanently removed, so there are no new drivers supporting these OS versions. In addition, all files supporting the other OS such as Linux or Mac have been officially removed from the website, resulting in no updated drivers. 

In case you are using Windows 2000, Windows Vista, or Windows XP with your Citizen printer and you’re encountering any errors or malfunctions, you may need to upgrade your Windows version to Windows 7 or up. This will resolve any CBM driver issue you are having since the older versions of Windows are no longer supported.
