Canon MG5520 printer compatibility

[BruceC21]

Recently purchased a new HP Pavilion Desktop TP101-1050 and I was unable to download the driver for the MG5520 printer onto the new desktop. Is this printer compatible with this desktop?

Using Windows 10 and USB. When downloading driver software, unable to move beyond Step 3, printer connection. Initially message says that printer is not detected. When I remove and replace the connection to the desktop, the message states that printer is detected, but shortly changes back to printer is not detected.
