Does anyone have the driver for a Canon Pixma MG5420 printer/scanner? It worked fine on W10, and when I DOWNGRADED to W11, it got lost. The Pixma works perfectly and I see no reason to have to go buy a new printer/scanner.

    Thanks, Bryce! However, I'm getting a nastygram from Canon saying:

    "PIXMA MG5420 has been retired. Product support is no longer available. Driver and content updates are not being made."

    My PIXMA MG5420 was working perfectly when I still had W10. Is this Canon's way of coercing W10 people into buying new products from them?

    If so, that is a real trump-dictator-level crappy thing to do to us. I'll try contacting Canon tomorrow. If they're going to dig in on this, I'll never buy a single Canon product again. Epson has some fine printer/scanner/copier units to buy.

    Canon retired the PIXMA MG5420 so there isn’t a dedicated Windows 11 driver listed on Canon’s site anymore, but you can still try the Windows 10 driver from Canon’s support page, many people report it works fine on Windows 11 if installed before connecting the printer.

    Mike,
    Download the most recent driver package from Canon listed under OS Windows 10, not 11. These drivers should work, they did for me.

    Try Quick Menu Ver.2.8.5a (Windows) or My Printer Ver.3.3.0 (Windows) as both support Windows 11
