Hello,

I am currently having issues with my Canon MX535 printer. My PC (Acer Aspire 3 running Windows 10) recognizes the "scanner" and "copier" functions, but does not recognize the "printer" function. I have tried connecting via USB and via wifi, but the same problem occurs. I don't have this issue when I connect via USB to my old PC, even though I see no difference in the settings.

Thank you in advance for your help!

    Try installing a more recent driver: Here

    You have the installation mode on the page.

    Hello,

    The "photocopier" function is independent of the computer. Therefore, I don't see how the computer can recognize it.

    I think the best thing to do is to completely reinstall it.

    So start by uninstalling the printer by going through the Windows Settings.
    Settings => Devices => Printers and Scanners
    Click on the name of the printer and choose Remove.

    Perform the reinstallation via Wi-Fi. Use WPS for easier setup.

      Hello,
      Thank you for your response. I tried the technique but it doesn't change anything. The printer status shows "driver unavailable" but when I try troubleshooting, nothing is detected..
