In windows 7 & 10, if I go "Control Panel >hardware & sound> Devices & printers" , i normally get a list of icons or pictures of the installed devices.
Windows 11pro v 22H2, only shows a page under "Printers & scanners" of the "Canon printer" installed and "MS Print to PDF", as listings and they do not allow me to make a shortcut for desktop.
All those sites, I visited today, tell me the same stuff, -->BUT it's all nogo so far.
So WHERE is the page of "Printers and Scanners" (with pictures) in Win 11, As all I want to do is make a shortcut to the the printer for page setup, on the desktop?
Many thanks for any help.

In Windows 11 22H2, the old Devices and Printers interface can still be accessed by running the following command from the Run dialog.
Also, see the following link to learn how to launch "Devices and Printers" using other methods.

Wow, so this saved me so much headache. I don't understand why this view is essentially hidden as far as I'm concerned. I don't like this view.
I much prefer this view
It just makes more sense to me, the layout is better, it's organized better. It's just better. Thank you for that run command I'll save it but I also gotta say, there has to be a way to just have this window be accessible without a run command. It's absurd, this page exists now essentially under folders which is confusing. Why hide it? Anyway. Thank you!
Yehh....Great, it works
Many thanks, you saved me from going insane.
