FAQs
Q: Looking for a download for a canon mx310 printer driver because I have lost the disk. Having trouble. Can you link me a way to download it onto computer, please?
A: Sure, here's the Canon mx310 download link. Nowadays, there is no need to keep the CD because you can easily download the latest driver anytime from the printer's official website.
In my previous failed attempts to install your driver, I was using your MX310sWIN64ej.exe driver and just letting it auto-install. It simply froze up at some “Wait…” prompt, where I read that it could stop for up to 6(?) minutes.
I waited over 20 minutes, and I tried the “Help” solutions twice with the same result.
HOWEVER, I went to Canon’s user website,
“https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/MX310-SCANNER-Not-Found-on-Windows-10”
and the solution there clarified my problem, though some of it was outdated.
Though their solution says to get the driver from Canon, who no longer offers it, your driver and their procedure together worked fine.
I think the key things were to:
1) Uninstall my previously attempted MX310 driver installations,
2) Unpug the USB Printer cable and reboot the computer
3) Run your .exe as usual and when asked, tell the install program that my operating system is Windows 7 (x64) (64 bit, in my case), not WIN10x64
4) Not plug the USB cable back in until instructed.
When I did these things, as I recall, your driver installed without a problem.
Thank you for your help!
I never would have got there without you and community.usa.canon.com, and I apologize for venting my frustration on you in my earlier comment.

You’re Welcome!! Glad to know that it worked for you Have a great day ahead!
HEY! Those MX310 Driver Files are ALL THE SAME!!
If it worked, I’d be happy anyway, but it doesn’t work.
The Canon website has NOTHING on the MX310 anymore, because it is over 10 years old, and they say they provide no support on anything after 10 years. Jerkoffs! They don’t even have the original drivers anymore.
I don’t know where they said the old drivers will work with Win 10, but that’s not very helpful, since they don’t have them on their website anymore.
And by the way, Techstar, where did the supposed links to the WIN 10 drivers for the MX310 above come from? I don’t know if I should dare to try them…
Yes, Windows 8 and 8.1 drivers will work on Windows 10 as well because Windows 10 is based on the Windows 8 platform. So there is no problem installing Windows 8 drivers on a Windows 10 computer.
As you said in your latest reply that the Windows 8 driver did not work either. May I ask, have you tried installing it automatically (using its installer) or manually (using its basic INF drivers)?
Which driver did you try? mx310swin64101ej.exe or mx310swin101ej.exe?
For Windows 10 64bit OS use this mx310swin64101ej.exe
For Windows 10 32bit OS use this mx310swin101ej.exe
Is it giving you any error messages while installing it?
Hello,
I need the drivers to install and use my Canon MX310 printer for Windows 10 please, if possible.
Thanks.
-Gilbert R,
Canon has not issue drivers for windows 10 yet. But they are saying that windows 7 or windows 8/8.1 drivers will perfectly on windows 10 OS. So we suggest you to please use windows 7/8/8.1 driver on this windows 10 operating system.
thanks
I will try your advice
Why is there NO Canon MX310 scanner driver for Windows 10? Am I to assume BOTH Microsoft and Canon NO longer support customers that have a MX310? This is a MAJOR PIA!!! Can I get an update MX310 scanner to work with the Windows 10, or do I need to seek other scanners other than Canon? Please let me know ASAP.
You are right, Canon do not providing the Windows 10 drivers for Pixma MX310 printer as of now. They even have not tell they do not support windows 10 OS for this printer yet. You can do one thing you can install windows 8.1 drivers on windows 10 machine because windows 8.1 driver works on windows 10 as well. We have updated the windows 8.1 driver here on this page. Please use them that should work for you.
