Well, this has been quite annoying so far. I just purchased a brand new canon MG5250 multifunction printer and default installer didn't even ask me for language I would like to choose. Here is a small guilt admission; I am in Switzerland and I dont speak yet any of the official Swiss language i.e. German or French or Italian yet. But unfortunately, the probability of finding people like me was considered as little as of a Meteorite hitting earth in 2012 by Canon SW designers, who steadfastly assumed that if the printer is being installed in Swiss German speaking area, it must be in German :-) Wunderbar!
Well, finally I found that there is a fast way to change the language setting of the printer dialog box apart from reinstalling and messing up your Windows settings. I believe this would be applicable for most of the Canon products as well. So here it goes....
Just open the print dialog menu; and browse till the last tab (Called Maintenence in English) and press "About" button. Depending upon your current language of installation, the text would vary but I am sure you would be able to reach till right buttons.
As soon as the About Us dialog opens, you see a language button. Bingo! Here it is.
Just select the language you want and press OK and close the printer settings completely. Next time you open it, it would be into your preferred language.
Enjoy!

Thank you very much "Beautiful Mind".
I had settings in Arabic on my Canon MP280 Printer Setings.

Many thanks! This is just the kind of idiotic software design glitch that wastes hours and drives me crazy. You'd think Canon would have fixed it years ago.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!! Your post saved me a LOT of time when I was attempting to meet a deadline. Thank You.
Thank you very much!
For me it was in japanese and I tried installing a new driver from canon.de,
but it seemed to ignore all my language selections.
This post is 4 years old, but it is still beautiful.
THANK YOU! I was in Norway - Cannon decided I must therefore speak Norwegian. This was a great help!

A beautiful Mind, and a beautiful tutorial.
Well done, clear, and concise information, thanks for taking the time to share this information.
The so called "experts" had me re installing print drivers, which caused me endless headaches.
Brilliant ! So simple compared to other advice. THANK YOU !
Thank you so much! I'd been using my printer in a language that I could barely read for 4 years until I found your post. Now, all the menus are in English!
