"Scanner not located" error despite being able to print. Imageclass MF229dw

I am really struggling to fix my Imageclass MF229dw.  The printer is on a wired network and works perfectly but the I get an error with the Canon MF toolbox when I try to scan.  It indicated the scanner can not be found.  I had the same issue on my laptop that uses the exact same version of Win 11 and I reinstalled the scanner driver and it now works.  Nothing I try seems to work for the desktop.  I must have erased and re-installed the drivers about 6 times.  Checked the firewall, all is identical to setting on the laptop that works perfectly.  Canon no longer supports this printer and I really don't want to purchase another when it works perfectly on another computer with the same Win 11 pro.  If anyone can help, please let me know.  Does Canon have a paid technical support option?

I don't know if this will work for you, but I had a similar problem with my mf753Cdw. See my post which includes a link to the solution that worked for me. But you need to be sure to follow the instructions step-by-step.

Thanks!  I did see that thread.  Unfortunately it did not work for me.  In both cases, windows indicated that the driver installed was the best one for the device.  Maybe I will try that once again, can't hurt!   Thanks again!!

Same thing happened to me initially a few times.

But, on the page I linked to in my QA, please follow Bellmac's sequence precisely and see how that works for you. (Also note the conversation between Bellmac and Favonian about the same issue).

Ok.  I will do that tonight.  I have been so burned out trying to fix it, I may be glossing over some important steps.

Thanks again!!!
