1. Download the appropriate Canon driver software here: http://www.cvs.rochester.edu/cvspriv/downloads/Canon/
2. The file will download to the "Downloads" folder within your user directory (located at "C:\Users\<your_username>\Downloads)" but typing "Downloads" in the search field at the bottom left corner of your desktop should show you a clickable link to it). Double-click the file to run it. The file will decompress and create a folder in your Downloads folder called:
"md_-win-gx7000-1_02-ea34_2" for the Maxify GX7021 printer
"md_-win-gx6000-1_01-ea34_2" for the Maxify GX6021 printer
It will also automatically start a printer setup program. When you see the welcome screen for the printer setup program, click on the "X" in the top right corner of the window to close it and click the resulting "Yes" box to verify that you wanted to do this.
