Hello,

I would like to install a Canon Pixma TS5100 printer via WiFi on Windows 8 (using the installation CD) - Response "this program cannot be used with the current operating system". I have already installed it on a laptop with Windows 10 via WiFi without any issue. If it requires drivers to be downloaded, where can I download them for free? I have never been able to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1.
Thank you for your help.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 97.0

    Thank you
    When I bought this TS5100 printer after having a 3250, I went to CANON support but it didn't occur to me that since it worked with Windows 7 and 10, it might not work with Windows 8... and I didn't check the drivers section.
    Thank you for your quick response and have a good evening.

      try those for 7 and 8.1

      but it's true that W8 was a disruptive version, and a "bad" version, a draft, improved by 8.1
