imageCLASS MF232w won't scan (won't even open MF Scan Utility)

Hi,

I’m in the process of getting my Canon ImageCLASS mf232w printer set up on my new Dell computer with Windows 11. I’ve followed what I thought to be the correct procedure, but despite the fact that I can successfully print, I’m finding that I still cannot scan. In fact, when I try to open the MF Scan Utility, right off the bat it gives me a pop-up error message saying “A scanner driver supporting this software is not installed.”

I’d already installed what I thought were the proper drivers, right from Canon’s own support site; but obviously I must have missed something. Can anybody walk me through the proper procedure for doing this? Thanks.

(One more note: The connection between my printer and computer is via USB. The thought did cross my mind that the cable could be bad – but likely not, considering I am able to print.)

TIA for any help, advice, or suggestions anyone is able to offer!
