Hello, my PC does not recognize my MP280 printer... It's a Win11 and it shows it as a scanner and inactive... I downloaded the driver from the Canon website but nothing works...

Hello.....

If you encounter any issues with what Canon offers on its site, you can still install this printer via the Windows 11 settings by doing the following....

Open the W11 settings ► Bluetooth & Devices ► Printers & Scanners ► Add a printer or scanner ► Add manually ► In the window that opens, check the last box Add a local printer..... ► Next ► In the window that opens ► Next again ► In the window that opens Click on Windows Update ► Let it search ...this may take some time ....

When the search is complete ► In the left window look for Canon ► In the right window ...scroll down to find the line Canon MP280 Series ► Next below and let the installation proceed, only reconnect the USB cable when the installation asks you to ...

Thank you for returning here to confirm the installation 

Cheers ► A+

Hello, I have the same problem as the person you helped. I followed the instructions you made available, it found the printer and installed it successfully. But I can't print; every time I try, it starts and then shows a print error, and it stays like that. Can you help me?

Thank you in advance
