Windows 11 drivers for Canon Pixma MG6450

I've just switched from Windows 10 to Windows 11 laptop. Canon say that they haven't created drivers for the Pixma MG6450 series to work on Windows 11. Planned obsolescence!
Is there another source of drivers or a workaround?
I should add that I'm in the UK not the UK but I don't think any of this is region specific.

You could try the W10 driver. That frequently works.

Thank you John. That is the very simplest idea and it seems to have worked!
I'm rather embarrassed not to have tried it. But also irritated that Canon haven't bothered to do that compatibility test themselves. Thank goodness "the crowd" is here to come to the rescue!
