PIXMA MG5520 compatibility with Windows 11

Gguthmiller — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 12:07:37 GMT

I have a PIXMA MG5520 still in the box new printer, never installed, purchased in 2013. I can't install the printer because the cartridges are dried up. I'd rather not purchase new cartridges until I'm certian this printer can be installed and is compatible with my system: Acer / Windows 365 / Windows 11 home.

Bottom line - is it compatible and can it be installed without the start-up disc.

Thank you

Does the computer have an ARM CPU, as opposed to an Intel or AMD CPU? If it's an ARM, you have a problem. Canon does not supply ARM-compatible software for the printer. You would only get some basic functionality (maybe) with Windows for ARM's built-in drivers.
