Important note: There is no widely known "Canon F151" model. Most likely you mean the Canon imageCLASS MF3010 or a similar compact monochrome laser MF series (like MF150 series). If your device is actually a different number (e.g., MF3010, MF150), the steps remain the same. If "F151" appears on the device label, it may be a regional variant of the MF3010.
Summary recommendation
- Confirm exact model and regional suffix.
- Download the official Windows 10 (64-bit) driver or Canon UPD from Canon’s support site.
- Install with Administrator rights, follow prompts, and reboot if needed.
- If no native driver exists, try UPD or Windows’ built-in drivers as fallback, or use another device as a bridge.

Step 2: Disable Driver Signature Enforcement (temporary)
This is often required if the "Driver May In" error is due to an unsigned driver.
- Restart your PC.
- Press F8 (or Shift + Restart → Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Settings).
- Select "Disable driver signature enforcement" (option 7).
- Install the driver normally after boot.
Installation steps (typical)
- Download the driver package for Windows 10 (x64) from Canon or a verified source.
- Unzip the package if necessary.
- Run the installer as Administrator (right-click → Run as administrator).
- Connect the printer via USB or network when prompted; for network installs, ensure the printer and PC are on the same subnet.
- Restart the PC after installation if requested.
Step 1: Forget the "Canon" Driver—Think "Conexant"
Do not download the full Canon MF driver pack. Instead, we need the generic modem driver that Microsoft buried.
- Open Device Manager (Right-click Start button).
- Find the "Canon F151-300" under Other devices or Modems.
- Right-click it > Update driver > Browse my computer for drivers.
- Click Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer.
Method B: Manual installation if auto fails
- Extract driver files using 7-Zip or by running the
.exeand canceling after extraction (checkC:\temp). - Go to Settings → Devices → Printers & scanners → Add a printer or scanner.
- Wait, then click The printer that I want isn't listed.
- Choose Add a local printer with a manual port → Use USB001.
- Click Have Disk → Browse to extracted folder (e.g.,
Driver\en\). - Select the
.inffile → Install.
Technical Guide: Solving the "Canon F151 300" Driver Issue on Windows 10 64-bit
If you are searching for a driver for a device labeled "Canon F151 300" to work on a Windows 10 64-bit system, you have likely encountered a roadblock: there is no official driver listed under that exact name on the Canon support website.
This guide will explain exactly what the "F151 300" device is, why you are facing compatibility issues, and provide a step-by-step solution to get your hardware running on Windows 10.
If no native 64-bit driver is available
- Try Canon Universal Printer Driver (UPD) for UFR II, PCL, or PS emulations, depending on what the device supports.
- Use Windows built-in drivers: Add Printer → The printer that I want isn't listed → Use a local port or network path, and choose a similar Canon model driver (may lose some features).
- Install the 32-bit driver in compatibility mode is not viable on 64-bit Windows; avoid attempting 32-bit drivers directly.
- Consider using a print server or another machine (32-bit or different OS) as a bridge if the device must be used and no compatible driver exists.
Identify the exact model
- Check the device label (back or bottom) for the full model number and country-specific suffixes.
- Look in the printer's menu or configuration page for model and firmware details.
- If the model is indeed "F151", confirm whether it’s a monochrome laser printer, multifunction device, or scanner—this affects driver type.
