MX350 Support on Windows 11

[DS256]

I just bought a new laptop preinstalled with Windows 11. I can't find any W11 drivers on Canon's download site. When I use one of the utilities, it seems happy detecting it as W10 but then when it errors out when trying to install the drivers.

In this day and age, when the MX350 prints via USB or Network, why wouldn't Canon issue drivers for W11. I really don't want to have to replace a perfectly good printer just because Canon hasn't released drivers for it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks Mike for the info. No where when I was searching did I find a mention that the MX350 was retired in 2016. I did note that there were software upgrades to, different software components for the MX350, as last as 2022 on the US support site

You know what pisses me off, if you upgrade Windows 10 with a Canon mx350 installed the printer will work after the upgrade to windows 11.  In my eyes this a f'ing money grab for Canon.   CANON RELEASE THE GOD **bleep** DRIVERS

Dear Mike, 

you should be proud that Canon products last so long. Why don't you provide drivers as long as your products live? Please consider a more sustainable approach. I'm sure that users would even pay for a driver update instead of buying a new printer. 

Your current approach is nothing but brainless money making.

You can very possible  use a Windows 10 driver when installed as administrator in compatibility mode for Windows 10. A new driver would be great but Microsoft who has no real advantage with from any printer maker does offer a work around to outdated drivers and other programs.
