This morning my Canon stopped showing up in printer dialog in my programs. The system says the printer is working and it shows up when I search for it in the system dialog but I can't select it as default. I downloaded the driver again and installed as the Canon Inkjet software said no driver detected. I reinstalled the driver That was labeled successful....but same problem above persists.

Hey there!
I'm sorry to hear you're having a problem with your printer.
Try to completely re-install the software as if it's new by going to https://ij.start.canon/g620
Follow the prompts. The site will uninstall any existing misconfigured instances and re-install the printer correctly.
You may have to re-start your computer, but the tool will let you know for sure.
After re-installation, if you still have issues, let us know!

Okay. I tried to install the software twice and both times it ended in Installation failed. I then used the help button , windows is up to date as of a check 3 hours ago and the APP simple says DRIVER UNAVAILABLE next to my G620. Whatever happened did not affect my other printer which is an Epson which I use for wider prints. It is still seletable.

When I bought the computer it said windows 11 but it always shows up as 10 . I am using USB and I am in the US. No problem until I woke up this morning. When I pull up the drivers for the printer...all of these show up. Is the right one on the list??

Does the software run on MAC OS. I may just switch to my MAC. I suspect some sort of windows update issue.
