I have a Canon MG7520 printer and I want to download and install the ij Scan Utility Lite for Windows 11. Sounds simple, right.
For more than an hour I've been going around in circles trying to find the download I need. Every time I think I found it, I get directed to another page, then another page, then . . .
And, I never see MG7520 mentioned on any of the various pages.
Can someone give me the exact link to the ij Scan Utility Lite download for Windows 11?
Thanks,
Tess

Hi,
It shows a ijScan Utility Lite for Windows 11 and Mac. I was trying to download the Window 11 software. I've basically given up trying to use my Canon MG7520 to scan, which is totally annoying. I don't understand why Canon includes the scan feature, then makes it impossible to use. Makes no sense.
I'm a photographer and my main reason buying this Canon in the first place is to print my photographs which I sell. For that purpose it works fantastically because of the various ink colors.
I don't know how either of us can find a solution. I'll just go forward disliking Canon, and when the time comes to replace my current printer it won't be a Canon.
Thanks, John for all your time trying to find a solution, it's appreciated.

Can you post where it shows lite for Windows?

After my last message I deleted all the links and data I had saved.
I'm no longer trying to solve the issue, it's too aggravating. Canon wins.
Don't waste any more time on this, and thanks again, John.

The link I provided originally has the printer driver and scan utility. You're getting caught up in semantics. The search terms you use can be interpreted incorrectly by AI so the results it provides may not be 100% accurate. It uses learning algorithms but it isn't perfect. Do you use Siri or Google assistant for voice to text? You say root, the assistant types route.
No one here (including Canon) is trying to keep you from finding what you're looking for. It just doesn't exist.
Registering a second MyCanon account is not going to change this outcome or be helpful for you. None of your previously registered devices will exist there. You'd be better off resetting the password on your old account. It's likely you have forgotten the email address, phone number, etc. that you used or it's credentials. The sales department might be able to help you with this.
I'm not sure why you don't want to use the installer I referenced in my first reply. These are the drivers (print and scan) that Canon provides for your device when used with Windows 11. This is only complicated if you make it so.
We are more than happy to help, but you need to accept the information we're providing to move forward.
All of the drivers available for your product can be found here.
We have confirmed that the software you want or think you should have (based on the inaccurate results of an internet search) do not exist.
We have done all we can to help assist you. What you decide to do with this information is up to you.

Thanks to everyone who tried to find a solution.
