How to make Canon LBP 3200 Laser Printer run on Windows 10 64 bit

Canon says there are no native Windows 10 drivers and its not supported.

But it says this for versions as far back as Vista, so, obviously something is wrong with the site. Try this instead...

Connect the printer.

Press Windows key + R

Type: control printers

Hit Enter

Click Add printer

Click 'The printer what I want isn't listed'

Select 'Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings'

Select 'Use an existing port'

Click Next

Under Manufacturer, scroll down then select the printer brand

Over the right hand side, scroll down through the list and look for your printer model.

If you don't see it, click Windows Update and wait while Windows Update checks for the printer.

If it doesn't find it, click the back button, then click Next again.

This time, select printer brand and in the printer list, select a driver series that closely matches your printer model

Our Canon Printer Canon LKBP 3200 doesn`t work under Windows 10

After spending a lot of time I haven't found any driver for Canon Leasershot LBP3200 for Win 10 64 bit. I am almost hopeless about this printer to run in Win 10. The only solution I have found to run it upto Win XP 32 bit. If any alternative driver can run the printer in Win 10 environment pls let me know.

Tkanks. I have already done every steps before your sujjestion. But my Canon Lasershot LBP3200 not found and I installed LBP3000 which I thought nearest to LBP3200. Pls sujjest a printer driver that will also work with LBP3200.

For your printer it shows only 32 bit drivers & apps for windows 7 which is odd there is none for any OS for 64bit, but they have designed the 32bit to run on 64bit system instead of developing software and drivers for both 32 and 64bit OS. Most every program you run on a 64bit OS runs all 32bit apps. 

Go to canon website on the two links and download and install the software and drivers. Install the drivers first and then the software

It will not let me post link here because Canon webpages are HTTPS and not HTTP.

Unplug Printer from PC.

Make sure any software you have already installed or tried to for this printer is uninstalled from:

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features

Restart PC.

Now install them, but you must do it this way. This is why Microsoft created Compatibility Mode long ago on XP on to 10. If they did not do this, then every hardware or program designed for older Operating systems would be useless on newer Windows versions.

Right click on the DRIVER installer file and select in menu>>Troubleshoot Compatibility.

In the wizard, select this ran on an earlier versions of windows. Then select Windows 7 and install it and finish out Wizard saving the settings.

Follow any instructions for installing Canon drivers if applicable.

This is a weird situation for this Canon, so you may not connect printer to PC yet.

Restart PC

Now do the same thing with the software installer file using Compatibility mode for Windows 7.

Follow the Canon install instructions. You probably, if not already, will be prompted to connect Printer to PC.

If not just restart PC. Restart PC regardless after installing each one.

NOTE: be sure to select to share your printer on install so others can use it too.

Then if printer is not connected already through the installations, connect printer, wait for it to install driver for it and restart pc again.

Now go to

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Devices and Printers

Right click your printer and select make default printer.

This should absolutely get it connected and working.
