imageCLASS Drivers ARM Compatibility

With the upcoming release of Windows computers that are powered by new ARM chips/processors, the compatibility of drivers for imageCLASS and other Canon products comes to mind.

Some of these new computers look interesting, but if the Canon drivers won't work with these newer computers, then that is problematic.

So, I'll ask the $50k question. Are the drivers compatible? If not, will new drivers be introduced shortly to make the transition from x86 to ARM as seamless as possible? 🤔
If new drivers are required, how far back in the Canon office printer line will Canon go with rolling out the new drivers? 🤔

Hi Paul,

ARM based printer support is still limited at this time.  Even this doc is probably slightly out of date.

Thankfully I don't print too much, but I had to print something in colour the other day and it wasn't working through the MS PCL6 driver for me.  Thankfully I work in IT and have plenty of computers at my disposal - it's a pain though to fire up another computer just for printing...

I agree that the right Canon people probably aren't monitoring this forum, or just don't care.
