I followed half of the steps and it started working. Thanks.!

Love it when none of these work. I hate when something works for literally everyone else and I'm the only one where nothing works. Fucking my luck isn't it

The way I fixed mine was in additional troubleshooters I clicked the printer tab and then clicked the device and windows just fixed it

Troubleshoot doesn’t do jack , windows blows ! No problem with iPhone connecting

Mine said "driver not available" in the settings>devices>printer menu. Searched cannon support on internet and selected my cannon printer. Downloaded the most recent driver download then opened the download to apply. Successful print!
