Windows 11 want read the scanner for MG2522

[ypb]

I bought a new Canon Pixma MG2522 because I was told it would be combatable with Windows 11.  The printer works great, however, I can't get the scanner to work.  I've downloaded the driver multiple times, but nothing.  How can I get the scanner, included with the printer, to work?

Hi ypb,

Reinstalling will resolve this issue. To do this, please follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard and the letter R, then let both go.

2. In the Run window, please type CONTROL PANEL and click OK.

3. Click on View devices and printers (or Devices and printers, depending on your view).

4. Right click the Canon MG2500 series and left click on Remove device. Repeat until all MG2500's are removed.

5. Disconnect the USB cable.

6. Click Close to close that window.

7. In the upper left corner, click on Control Panel (or the Back button).

8. In Control Panel, click on Uninstall a program (or Programs and features, depending on your view).

9. Click once on "Canon MG2500 series MP Drivers" and then click Uninstall at the top.

10. Follow the on screen prompts to uninstall the driver. When you click Complete, the driver is uninstalled.

11. Once done, please reboot your computer.

When your computer restarts, we will reinstall:

3. Click the Download button. The drivers will download.

4. Once the download is complete, open your downloads folder. To access this, press CTRL and J, then let both go.

5. Double click "mp68-win-mg2500-1_02-ejs.exe" to begin the installation.

Once the installation has completed, please attempt to print.

THANK YOU!!!!  I was ready to give up till I found your answer.  Worked great.  The previous forum threads about this problem do not correctly answer the issue.  They should be updated and refer people to this thread with the correct answer.  Thanks again!
