I bought the Canon printer and scanner, I do not have a CD driver to be able to use the installation disk, when I install it manually it says driver is missing.
Windows 11

Greetings and welcome to the forum,
You do not need a CD drive to install the printer, drivers can be downloaded from the Canon support portal directly to your computer
https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/pixma-mg2522#idReference%3Dsoftware-drivers
Just select your OS if not automatically detected.
I noticed above you typed windows 11 in a mode.
If this was a typo and you meant S mode, please let us know.

Thanks for clarifying. Windows S mode is an optional variant used to describe a locked down version of windows. When this "feature" is enabled, it sometimes limits what you can install. Its both a blessing and a curse in that it affords a ultra high level of security, by precluding what can be installed while the mode is enabled.
Us the link I provided above. If you run into problems, see this link for disabling S Mode.
