    Creating a shortcut for printer/scanner


    I can not figure out a way to create a shortcut for my Canon MG5220 onto my desktop. I no longer have the installation cd. But I have however installed the current driver. But on the start menu I'm not seeing the printer to right click on it. I've read many of the posts explaining how to do it. Please help as its taking me many minutes just to scan a document onto the PC every time.

    :)

    Windows 10 recognizes my printer+scanner only as a printer.

    Hello,

    Another method you may try is to uninstall and reinstall the printer. The following are the steps:



    Remove your printer

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Devices > Printers and Scanners.
    • Under Printers & scanners, find the printer, select it, and then select Remove device.


    Install or add a local printer

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Devices > Printers and Scanners.
    • Under Printers & Scanners, see if your printer is installed.
    • If you don’t see your device, select Add a printer or scanner. Wait for it to find available printers, choose the one you want, and then select Add device.


    On the other hand, we suggest also that you reach out the manufacturer of your printer/scanner for the driver availability or work around.



    Regards.

    Create a printer shortcut in Windows 10?

    When you installed the printer/scanner, it should have created a SCAN shortcut in the start menu. Right click on it, there should be a an option to pin to the Start menu. In the More option, there should be an option to "open file location". Open it then
    right click and drag that program to the desktop to create a shortcut on the desktop.
