Windows 10: How to get a Canon Pixma MG5650 printer to work with a windows 11 computer

Hi I have a new computer from Geekom which already has windows 11 pro installed. I am having great difficulty in getting my Canon Pixma MG5650 printer to be recognized/ connected to the computer. The printer is working and for instance I can scan and print an A4 document but I cannot get it to connect and work with the computer. Previously with my old computer running Windows 10 I had no problem. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I can get it to work. Thanks

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.

 

My Canon Pixma iP8720 printer will not connect with my brand new HP pc with windows 11. Is there any way to make the Pixma iP8720 printer compatible with windows 11?

My Canon Pixma iP8720 printer will not connect with my brand new HP pc with Windows 11. Is there any way to make the Pixma iP8720 printer compatible with Windows 11 ? When I follow the download instructions from the Canon website, it detects the printer. But the download process works for about 2-3 minutes and then says that my printer cannot be detected. It suggests starting over but each time I do that, the same thing happens. Is there a process where my printer can be made compatible with Windows 11? Or do I have to buy a different printer? The Pixma iP8720 is a wide format printer capable of printing sizes up to 13" x 19". I really don't want to have to buy another large format printer because they are very expensive.
