I have a MX 470 printer in good working order. I have just bought a new laptop. It’s a Lenovo IdeaPad which has a Snapdragon X Plus processor which is ARM based. I can get it to connect to the printer to scan but nothing I have tried helps me make the printer print. I understand there are problems with ARM-driver compatibility. My laptop says it doesn’t have the driver and nothing I’ve downloaded helps. Suggestions very welcome.

Your best bet is to connect to your laptop with a USB/printer cable, wireless is a bit trickier, your printer is on the list of ARM "compatible" printers without the use of Canon drivers. Follow this procedure with a cable connection or wireless. Good luck!
