Operating-system and download checks
The Korean catalog lists these systems for checking: Actual Print Driver and Scan Utility Installer 1.02 (19.81 MB, mp68-win-mg5500-1_02-ejs.exe, detail release 2023-11-14) lists Windows 11, Windows 10/8.1/8/7 32/64-bit, Vista SP1 or later 32/64-bit and XP SP3 or later. History adds Windows 11/10/8.1 and corrects WIA colour matching. The old Full package, XPS files and generic OS menu are separate. ARM, Server, Linux and current Mac file support are not inferred from this package or old product specs. Unlike MG5620, no retirement banner was observed for MG5520 during this check; do not transfer another model retirement status. Legacy availability does not guarantee OS security.. Select your exact operating system and version on the official page. If your version is not offered, do not install a package intended for a different system.
Connection and installation
- Confirm exact MG5520, OS/architecture, rights, region, saved queues/jobs/SSID, ink/paper/power and USB data cable. Read official package terms.
- Run the compatible official MP EXE; the actual file instructions say self-extraction starts installation. Canon Windows USB guidance keeps USB disconnected until requested, selects USB Connection, then connects and powers on at Printer Connection.
- Finish without cancelling or unplugging while waiting for detection. Check the real MG5500-series queue/USB port/paper, test printing and scanning separately, and restart only if prompted.
- The model-specific Standard Setup wireless guide uses Wireless Connection, then printer HOME, WLAN, Wireless LAN setup, Standard setup and the real router SSID/password. Follow its Stop/Other Methods route if an automatic WPS search screen appears. Do not substitute MG5620 Cableless setup.
- Keep computer/printer on the same approved LAN/network segment, complete actual compatible MP discovery and select the real scan device. Old Full EXE/CD wizard images do not guarantee current MP 1.02 screens; follow the actual prompts. Do not invent Ad-Hoc or Ethernet setup or disable all firewalls.
