Windows 10: How do I connect my new Windows 11 to my Canon printer

I've just bought a new Windows 11 laptop. How do I connect it to my Canon printer?

Windows 11 Does Not Detect Canon iP7220 Printer

I am trying to install a Canon iP7220 inkjet printer onto my new Windows 11 computer. The installation never gets past connecting the printer and turning it on. Eventually an error message is added to the "Connect Cable" screen saying "Caution! Cannot detect the printer."

Windows 11 Pro is installed and has been updated through Oct. 26.

Canon's PIXMA iP7220 is supported by Windows 11 (Canon KB FAQ100626, 10/26/2021). Canon's driver, version 1.01, dated 10/4/2021, was downloaded Oct. 26.

Prior to trying to install the driver, Device Manager showed that USB Printing Support was not among the installed USB controllers -- Canon Support suggests deleting it if it is there before installing the driver as one of its troubleshooting suggestions (Canon KB ART115269, solution 820254100-EN-US, for a different model).

The USB port has been eliminated as a possible cause by trying the installation on various ports, both USB 2.0 and USB 3.2. Successfully plugging the keyboard, the mouse and flash drives into these ports reinforces this conclusion.

The printer and the USB cable have been eliminated as possible causes by installing the driver on a Windows 10 laptop. It took less than a minute for the printer to be detected after turning it on.

What's next ?

 

Canon Pixma G2010 printer compatibility on Windows 11

Is the Canon Pixma G2010 printer compatible with my Windows 11 laptop? I want to buy a new printer, but when I look on Canon's website, this printer isn't compatible with Windows 11.
