Canon PIXMA MP495 driver cannot be installed - Windows 11

[HumanNature]

Hi everyone!

I have a clean install of Windows 11 build 22000.51.  

All programs and drivers installed properly, except for the Cannon PIXMA MP495 driver. I am very upset about this. I would like to use the system as my main system. Please HELP!

Thank you in advance!

THANK YOU FOR THIS! THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL AND ALLOWED ME TO INSTALL THE PRINTER, WHICH WAS OTHERWISE NOT WORKING VIA THE BLUETOOTH DISCOVERABLE OPTION. 😀

I got it working by adding a new printer manually and then choosing local. I'm getting sick and tired of hearing throw out your printer its 12 years old. Why don't you throw away your 12 year old car? What?? It still runs fine? What you put a brand new engine in it...throw it out anyway because the windows won't go down on it.....
