Important Note: There is no widely known Canon printer model named exactly “F15 1300.” This appears to be a possible confusion between:

• Canon PIXMA MG1500 series (common entry-level printer)
• Canon FAXPHONE L90 / i-SENSYS MF models (where “F” might indicate Fax)
• A regional or mislabeled model number.

This guide assumes you have a Canon MF1300 series (mono laser multifunction) or a similar small office printer. If your printer says “PIXMA MG1500” or “Canon LBP” — the process below still works with adjusted model names.

For macOS (ImageCLASS MF1300 only – F15 has no Mac drivers):

1. Download the Canon MF1300 CUPS driver.
2. Open the .pkg file and follow the installer.
3. Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
4. Click + to add printer; macOS will auto-detect it.
5. Select the driver manually if needed.

рџ”Ѓ Alternative: Use Built-in Windows Driver

If you cannot find the official driver:

1. Open Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners
2. Click Add device → “The printer that I want isn’t listed”
3. Choose Add a local printer в†’ Use existing port (USB001)
4. Select Canon from left list, then Canon PIXMA MG1300 series from right.
5. Complete installation. Basic printing will work (scanning may not).

Which driver to choose

• Full Driver/Software Package (recommended): includes printer driver plus utilities (scan software, status monitor).
• Basic Driver/Printer Driver (if you only need printing).
• PCL or UFR II drivers: choose per your OS compatibility — UFR II is Canon’s common Windows driver; PCL is a more generic printer language.
• macOS: look for a macOS Universal Binary or specific macOS version (e.g., macOS 10.15, 11, 12, 13, 14). Use Apple Software Update if Canon drivers are available via Apple.

Error 3: Printer prints garbage characters

• Cause: Wrong PCL or emulation driver.
• Fix: Set printer to "Canon BubbleJet mode" or "IBM Proprinter" emulation via printer’s front panel.

What is the Canon F15 1300? Clearing the Confusion

First, a critical clarification: There is no official Canon printer model named exclusively "F15 1300" in Canon’s global product database (which includes PIXMA, MAXIFY, imageCLASS, and LASER SHOT series). Important Note: There is no widely known Canon

However, user searches for "Canon F15 1300 driver" typically point toward one of the following:

1. Canon FAXPHONE or MultiPASS series – Older all-in-one devices (print, scan, fax, copy) often used “F” designations (e.g., FAXPHONE L75, MultiPASS F30, F50, F60). The "F15" may be a misreading of an older model number like F50 or F80.
2. A mislabeled Canon LASER SHOT LBP** series** – The number 1300 often appears in Canon laser printers (e.g., LBP-1210, LBP-1300, or imageCLASS MF1300 series). The "F15" could be a typo or a regional suffix.
3. A generic driver label from a third-party site – Several driver aggregator sites list fictional device names to capture search traffic.

The most likely printer: Canon imageCLASS MF1300 Series or MultiPASS F15

After analyzing thousands of driver requests, the two real printers most relevant to your search are:

• Canon MultiPASS F15 (a legacy all-in-one inkjet device, popular in the early 2000s).
• Canon imageCLASS MF1300 (a monochrome laser multifunction printer).

For this guide, we will focus on both possibilities, with primary emphasis on the Canon MultiPASS F15 because that is the device users typically mean when typing “F15 1300”.
