Usbprint Canondevicef144 [extra Quality] (iOS PLUS)

is not a printer model. It is a Windows system identifier for a Canon PIXMA MG3000 series printer that lacks a proper driver. While alarming to see in Device Manager, it is easy to fix.

Understanding the USBPRINT\CanonDeviceF144 Driver Identity If you see in your Windows Device Manager or during a driver scan, you are looking at the specific hardware ID for the Canon PIXMA iP2700 series (notably the iP2770 ) inkjet printer. This identifier is how your operating system recognizes the printer when it is connected via a USB cable. What is USBPRINT\CanonDeviceF144?

Right-click the Windows Start button and select . usbprint canondevicef144

Download the or the UFTII/Generic Plus Printer Driver (for imageCLASS office models).

This identifier is not a standard error code, but a specific string of characters that appears when the printer is in a special state and the standard Windows driver fails to bind to it.

USB enumeration and Windows device naming When a USB printer is plugged in, the host operating system queries the device’s descriptors and assigns device IDs that map to driver packages. For printers, Windows creates entries under Devices and Printers and within the print spooler using names derived from the device class and driver INF files. Canon’s driver installer often supplies device names like "CanonDeviceF144" (the exact suffix can vary across models/firmware). The prefix "usbprint" signals the communication channel — a USB-connected print device rather than a network printer or virtual port. This combination helps technicians and the OS distinguish between multiple installed printers and connection types.

When you see USBPRINT\CanonDeviceF144 under the "Other Devices" or "Unknown Devices" section in Device Manager, Windows is essentially saying: "I know this is a Canon printer plugged into a USB port, but I don't know its actual model name, so I cannot load the driver."

The industry-standard corporate driver framework. Use the Canon Generic Plus PCL6 Printer Driver if you operate within highly regulated enterprise print environments or deployment infrastructure like Microsoft Intune.

Connect the printer directly to a motherboard USB port on the back of your desktop PC, or a native port on your laptop. USB hubs can distort the hardware strings sent to the OS.
