MF656Cdw A scanner driver supporting this software is not installed. Install it and try again.

I installed my Canon Color imageClass printer driver and scanner utility. When I tried to run the scanner utility, I got this message:

A scanner driver supporting this software is not installed. Install it and try again.

I uninstalled and reinstalled both. I've restarted my computer. I've uninstalled both and installed an older printer driver and then the scanner utility again - no luck.

The only solutions I've found in the community is what I've already done.

What is the solution?

I have the latest version of Windows 11 Pro.

Thank you.

Try to install the complete driver package, it is called something like:

(Windows, 64-bit) MF657Cdw / MF655Cdw / MF651Cw Drivers (Generic Plus UFR II / Generic Plus PCL6 / Generic Plus PS3 / Generic Fax Driver / ScanGear)

I was struggling with the same problem, because the suggested driver is only the printer driver, but not the scanner driver.

Outstanding! It solved my problem with my MF424DW. Thanks!

Thank you! That did it. I modified your search string for my printer model and found the installer.
