PIXMA TS5150 prints fotocopy fine and fast but only blank pages and very slowl when printing from PC

Printer Pixma TS5150 with latest PC drivers and Canon software installed on Windows 11 PC.

Connected via Wifi.

When I put a document to copy and print on the scanner, it copies and prints perfectly and quickly.

From the PC, I cannot print even a test page. The PC sees the printer and tells me the printer is ready/idle. When I print a test page, it takes forever to get going and then the output is a blank page. It also keeps going outputting blank pages slowly (as if it is still trying to print the test page from the queue).

So: based on the perfect printout of the photocopy, the issue appears to be with the PC, not with the printer.

NOTE: I have already deleted everything on the PC, stopped the spooler, deleted all the files, restarted the spooler and reinstalled the drivers. No change.

 

What have I missed?

Add-on: this is a new install. Bought the printer last week.The first 2 days, it printed test pages from the PC VEEEERRRY slowly (the carriage moving one line at a time and stopping). Now it doesn't print anything (blank pages from the PC), but prints fine when give something else to print (e.g. a copy )
