<p data-path-to-node="5"><strong data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="0">Description:</strong> In 2026, the primary cause for Canon "Driver Unavailable" errors is <strong data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="81">Signature Mismatch</strong>. The printer is physically connected, but the computer rejects the communication because it lacks the updated 2026 digital security signature.</p>

<p data-path-to-node="6,0,0"><strong data-path-to-node="6,0,0" data-index-in-node="0">The WSD Port Conflict:</strong> Windows often defaults to a "Web Services for Devices" (WSD) port, which frequently loses sync during regional ISP signal refreshes. Switching to a <strong data-path-to-node="6,0,0" data-index-in-node="171">Standard TCP/IP Port</strong> is the most reliable 2026 fix.</p>
