[Athen] Textbook Scanner Recommendations

[foreigntype at gmail.com]

You’re more than welcome. I found out about my canon printer/scanner not
working properly a couple of weeks ago. I switched to completely online
work before Covid, and had no use really of the printer since everything
was in electronic format. It went so long on used that the ink dried up. I
ordered new ink and when I replace the cartridges, I discovered that the
printer was no longer recognized by the computer which led me to do some
troubleshooting. The troubleshooting revealed that the drivers for the
canon scanners/printers were/are not compatible with Windows 11. I did find
a workaround I thought, but have not yet been successful in being able to
print documents with the new Windows 11, and the old canon drivers.

Sorry to hear about the death of your old Canon workhorse! You’ve gotten a
lot of good feedback about options.
