To use your Canon PIXMA MX870 wireless as well as its other features, you have to install the driver software. I have researched and found the latest driver software for this device from the support website of Canon. You can download it here:

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_series/pixma_mx870#DriversAndSoftware

Remember to turn on your printer/scanner device before installing the driver software. If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask here at HelpOwl. Experts here are always willing to answer your questions to the best of our knowledge and expertise.

Regards,

Tintin
