imageCLASS D1150 Windows 11 work around

[mglanger]

I have a Imageclass  D1150 for many years. Just updated to Windows 11 on a Dell laptop. Canon info page for this printer indicates it is not Windows 11 capable...stops at Windows 10. Is there a work around other than buying a new printer. Thanks for any info you may have!

Have you tried installing the Win 10 software on your Win 11 computer?

Canon and other manufactures will say "not compatible" when they have not created  drivers specifically for Win 11. You may find the Win 10 driver/software works perfectly with Win 11. This is common. I have three Canon printers and a scanner, and a Minolta film scanner , that "expired"  with Windows 7 or XP, and all are being used with Windows 11.

You could also do a web search for "D1150 driver for Windows 11".  I found a Windows 7 driver for an XP-only scanner this way, that someone had written himself. It has worked from 7 to 10 to 11.

Thanks for the suggestion.....didn't work. Tried Windows 10 and earlier versions of Windows.

What happens when you try installing the Win 10 software?

When I try to print a word document, the Canon D1150 is not listed as an available option.

When I try to scan, the following notice appears:

"There is no scanner selected. Please select a scanner."

When I attempt to use the Canon toolbox, the following alert appears:

"A supported scanner is not installed. Please install a supported scanner, and then restart the toolbox."

@mglanger,

Quick question for you. The printer supports USB and ethernet connectivity.  Which are you using? 

If by chance you were using USB and connected the printer before running the installation software, this could cause a problem. 

If This applies in your situation,  unplug the device from it's USB connection, remove it from printers and scanners and then uninstall its software from programs and features in control panel.  Now restart your computer. 

Now run the installer again, this time do not plug in the printer until prompted to do so.  Let us know if this helps.  If you are using ethernet I will have another suggestion.

USB

I previously tried both ways.

You said you are not able to install the Win 10 software, and I asked you what exactly happens when you try.

Well?

You are repeating yourself without giving any information.

Once more....What happens when you try to INSTALL THE WIN 10 SOFTWARE?

I'm trying to be of help but you aren't helping yourself.
