Windows 10: Backing up Canon printer user preferences

I hope I'm posting this in the right part of this forum, so apologies if not.

I have a Canon TS8250 multi-function printer on my network and I have created quite a few custom print preferences (see uploaded acreenshot), but I can't find any way to back them up and I don't even now if it's possible.

The settings I have created are user-specific. I know that because I created a temporary new user on my Windows 10 (Home Edition) laptop, but none of my custom preferences were listed. I did a few searches on the Internet and a few results seemed to suggest that an app called PrintBrmUi dot exe could do the job, but when I ran it, it didn't find any network printers and nothing installed on my laptop either.

If anyone has found a way to back up user settings, I should be very pleased to learn how you did it. It's hard to believe that a big company like Canon have not provided a means to do this.

My Windows Version is 2004 (build 19041.804).

Canon - Printers - Canon MG5500 series Printer - Error 0x80240017

GaryRouth's suggestion didn't work for me. But I took his lead and used a slightly different process that eventually worked.

I uninstalled the Canon software in "Programs and Features",

rebooted my machine,

then went to Canon's site and downloaded the full package from Canon for my printer,

extracted the package,

went to the extracted files and opened the DrvSetup folder,

ran the DELDRV64.exe utility to cleanup the old software,

then ran the Setup64.exe to install the Canon software.

Since I've followed these steps, the printer works and the Windows Update for the printer isn't showing up.
