Which Canon G3730 scanner driver should you download?

The right Canon G3730 scanner driver is the package that names the G3730, matches your operating system and describes the printing or scanning function you need.

Search results can mix the PIXMA G3730 with nearby G-series models, regional product names and generic Canon scanner software. Do not choose a G2010, G2020, G3000 or G3770 package just because the printer shape looks similar. Read the model on the front panel or rating label, including every suffix, and keep that exact name visible while you open Canon Support.

Canon may present the driver as an MP Driver or as part of a recommended setup package. IJ Scan Utility is the desktop application used after the compatible device package is installed, so the model support page remains the source for regional components.

  • Match PIXMA G3730 exactly; do not substitute a nearby G-series model.
  • Select Windows 11, Windows 10 or the system Canon lists for your device.
  • Treat MP Driver, setup packages and IJ Scan Utility as related components, not identical files.
  • Keep the official model page open when a regional page shows different package names.

Verified Canon G3730 driver details

The current official listing gives enough detail to distinguish the package from a copied filename or an unverified mirror.

On October 8, 2026, the Canon South & Southeast Asia support page showed G3730 MP Driver Ver.1.04 (Windows). The listing displayed a July 27, 2026 update date and a size of 92.10 MB, and its description says the driver provides full printing and scanning functionality. The linked Canon redirect resolved to the stable file path md__-win-g3030-1_04-ea34_2.exe on gdlp01.c-wss.com.

The resolved file returned HTTP 200 with application/octet-stream and 96,569,520 bytes. The filename contains G3030 because Canon's family package can serve this record; keep the G3730 context from the support page and do not rename the file.

Install the Canon G3730 driver on Windows

Install one model package, let Windows finish registering the scanner and test a small document before changing advanced settings.

Before opening the installer, note whether the printer will use USB or a local network. Save the file in a known folder and compare the model, version and size with the live Canon record. Keep existing G-series queues until you know which one belongs to the G3730.

Run the official package, connect the printer when the installer asks and allow Windows to finish device registration before opening IJ Scan Utility.

  • Do not rename the executable before the first test.
  • Restart only when Canon or Windows requests it.
  • Keep the support page available if a regional package differs.
  1. Confirm the labelRead PIXMA G3730 on the printer and compare it with the Canon support heading.
  2. Choose the systemSelect the exact Windows release and architecture shown by Canon Support.
  3. Run one packageUse the official MP Driver or setup flow and connect the device when prompted.
  4. Finish registrationWait for Windows and Canon Utilities to finish before opening the scan window.
  5. Keep a recordSave the support URL, version, date and first-scan result for a later reinstall.

Open IJ Scan Utility and make the first scan

A small test scan proves that the driver, selected device, connection and save folder work together.

Open IJ Scan Utility from Canon Utilities or the installed application folder. Confirm the G3730 in Settings and choose the connection you are actually using before changing advanced options.

Place one clean sheet on the glass, choose a document or photo mode, save a PDF or JPEG and check the edges, orientation, colors and text. The first scan is a diagnostic baseline.

USB, Wi-Fi and scanner selection

Use the simplest connection first so an installation problem is not confused with a network discovery problem.

USB is the clearest baseline because it removes router discovery from the first test. If the G3730 scans over USB, the package and application are probably present, and you can investigate Wi-Fi separately. Use a direct cable and the active printer port rather than a hub that adds another variable.

  1. Start with USBSeparate installation from network discovery with one direct test.
  2. Confirm the networkUse the same local network for the G3730 and the computer.
  3. Open SettingsSelect the active model and connection entry before scanning.
  4. Change one variableTest cable, router and destination separately.

Troubleshoot when the G3730 prints but does not scan

Printing proves that a print path works; scanning may still need the correct component, device or save permission.

If the G3730 prints but IJ Scan Utility cannot find it, first confirm that the installed package is the one Canon lists for the model. Search the Start menu and Canon Utilities, then open Settings and check the G3730 entry. A basic Windows print queue can remain available even when the scanner component or utility is missing.

  • Record the exact error before uninstalling anything.
  • Use one small local test page before changing network settings.
  • Return to the official model record when version or platform support is unclear.

Canon G3730 download checklist and macOS note

A reliable download decision keeps the model, region, system, package purpose and official file record together.

Before selecting Download, confirm that the page heading says G3730, the operating-system filter is correct and the package description mentions the function you need. The dated Windows check on this page is a reference point; Canon's live regional page should decide a later installation. Do not use a copied file name as proof of compatibility.

The Windows MP Driver is not automatically a macOS package. Choose the exact operating system on Canon's G3730 page and use the software listed for that platform and region.

  • Exact G3730 model and regional support route
  • Package purpose and current version shown by Canon
  • Stable official redirect or support page
  • A first scan that saves and opens correctly
