WIA driver

Hi,

I switched my printer/scanner (PIXMA TR7022) to a different computer (HP/Windows11) and uploaded the drivers (WiFi connection). When I try to use the scanning function, it tells me that I need a WIA driver as seen below.

Any idea how to correct this? Any help would be appreciated.

A WIA driver is a Microsoft product.

This link explains how to get one: I have never gotten that message so i can't vouch for the material.

Greetings,

In addition to John's reply. The Canon website has all of the drivers your printer needs to install, print and scan under W11. The MP driver includes a TWAIN driver which will allow you to scan.

Thank you. Apparently there was a long delay between my printer functioning and the capability to use my scanner. It is working now.
