Canon imageCLASS LBP674Cdw: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Canon imageCLASS LBP674Cdw right for you?

The LBP674Cdw is Canon's current mid-range colour laser printer, a 35 ppm single-function machine that shares the MF753Cdw engine and Cartridge 069 toners. It suits offices that want fast colour output and already have a scanner or copier. With the high-yield 069H set it delivers respectable page costs, and its security features match Canon's business MFPs.

Best for: Offices wanting a fast shared colour laser printer with current security

Setting up the Canon imageCLASS LBP674Cdw

Connect Ethernet, install the Generic Plus driver and set an admin password in the remote UI. Enable duplex and add the optional cassette if the office prints heavily. Calibrate colour after the starter toners are replaced.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the toner cartridge and drum unit, and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Canon's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The Canon imageCLASS LBP674Cdw uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• Cartridge 069 BK / C / M / Y
• Cartridge 069H high yield

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
