How to download and install Canon MP Navigator EX for PIXMA MP180 (Windows)

Step 1 — Get the official software

1. Go to Canon support for PIXMA MP180 (recommended) or Canon regional site:
   • USA: https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/pixma-mp180
   • Europe: https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer/products/printers/pixma/mp-series/pixma-mp180.html
2. On the product page choose the “Software” tab and select your Windows version.
3. Find MP Navigator (MP Navigator EX) Ver. 3.03 (or the version listed for your OS) and click Download.

Step 2 — Alternative download source (if Canon page is unavailable)

• Only use third‑party mirrors if Canon’s site doesn’t provide the file; prefer official Canon first.

2. If prompted by User Account Control, allow the installer.
3. Follow on‑screen prompts: accept license, choose installation folder (default is fine).
4. Connect the PIXMA MP180 via USB when instructed (do not connect before installer asks, unless the installer requests).
5. Finish and restart the PC if prompted.
