OpenPrinter Error on Start-up

[aoibhell]

Im trying to set up my printer with my laptop (Windows 10, v 10.0.18362) I've downloaded the driver package. When I try to execute the Print Head Alignment, i get an error "OpenPrinter Error". When I go through windows printer settings, it says "Driver unavailable" where my printer is listed. 

EDIT: Printer is a Canon MG2522 PIXMA

How should I proceed?
