Canon Color Imageclass MF644Cdw not working after Windows 11 upgrade

Hello,

I have a Canon Color Imageclass MF644Cdw. After upgrading to Windows 11, it will no longer connect to our laptop. I attempted to search for drivers for windows 11 but Canon website says there are none or none are needed.

Also I did notice that it is not showing under the printer section of the device manager.

Please Help!

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1035G1 CPU @ 1.00GHz 1.20 GHz

Windows 11 Home 21h2 osbuild 22000.258

I had a similar issue after a windows update: basically I had to find the Canon Generic Plus UFR II driver and the printer started working again.

Thank you for the help,

Please bare with me as i am not very experienced in computer/tech issues,

Where do i find the

Canon Generic Plus UFR II driver ?

I am so dissapointed , I feel like this printer is high quality, but I am alwasy having issues with it. Always having to restart it to reconnect, and I was barely able to get it to scan to email, I never was able to set it up for wireless printing so it always has to be plugged into my usb in my laptop, and now this! I upgrade to the new windows and now poof it wont connect.

I am not computer savy either;

I clicked on my printer in the list of "Printers and Scanners"

Then from that screen I went to "Manage"

Then to Printer Properties

Then to the "Advanced" Tab at the top; from there you should see

"Driver" click on the drop down box to select the driver

Hope this helps

It generally is not the printer but Windows updates.. been our experience over the years.
