Printer and scanner compatibility with Win 11
« on: October 05, 2022, 03:14:24 PM »

I have been trying to find out if my printer, Canon iP7250 and Scanner Canon Lide 110 are compatible with Win 11, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, all I get is drivers, offers of ink etc; never a simple yes or no.

I know the machines are not the most modern but they work sufficiently well for my limited purposes. Can you help please?

Regards,
PeterB

Thank you Licquorice for that fast response I didn't want to upgrade to Win 11 if the peripherals need replacing.

As Canon support offer drivers for W11 they therefore must be compatible.

Erm.. those pages dont actually show any drivers for Windows 11 as being available.. however, I suspect the current Windows 10 drivers will work fine.

Whoops, I just saw that the printer had W11 drivers but didn't notice the scanner didn't. As you say, suspect W10 drivers will work fine though.

I've noticed an alarming amount of devices in general not listing Windows 11 drivers, all of which so far seem to work fine with the 10 ones.  Its really dumb.

I'm amazed just how much I can make work happily with W11, in fact I don't have anything that I want to use that worked with W7 that doesn't with W11. My old HP Laserjet 6P from the 1990s is fine.
