    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
