I tried to find drivers.
Because Windoze would not.
Then: "This product exceeded its lifespan"..or some BS was the message.

Canon website was not able to 'provide' it's own product drivers.
(how cumbersome is it to store a few MB?)

An 8-10 yo printer....working perfectly fine....until that moment.
I previously bought plenty of OEM Ink at ~$50/pop.

My business and computer was sabotaged remotely. With the help of a major OS. FU Microsoft.
Did you look up how to roll back? It used to be that updates caused a (I don't remember the MS name) snapshot of the OS/environment to be taken. Then if you had issues, you could roll back to that pre-update snapshot. Is that no longer a thing?

For many years on both MS and Apple, I have auto-updates disabled. I tell the OS "download but do not install". Then I decide when things get installed. I often waited weeks before updates got installed. Yes, that potentially left me "unprotected" for patched issues, but I very rarely ended up with bugs installed because by the time I installed an update, it had been fixed.

Thank you. Yeah that was many updates ago. The same thing happened with a multi-card reader I was using to transfer photos from a camera. I wasn't sure if it would re-install the printer drivers, considering the message was from Microsoft, and losing future updates might be a security risk or functionality thing.

I don't play games. And I can't care less about their news feeds or weather updates. I have them all killed off. It took a while to work through all the crap to delete.

I have two high end video card in my system that NVIDIA is convinced I want to play games with. I put those card in to process aerial photo mosaics. They help churn through the data. Every time I update the driver it wants to have a big display about the new games. Eff em, I have better ways to waste my time than a computer game.
They have one, it is called Enterprise. But you may be shocked at the amount of infrastrucure and licensing costs involved

Yea, I don't need Enterprise to run my one computer.

I spent the time and effort to eliminate all the BS programs, now called Apps. Not one game on my computer. No popups, and it runs very stable.

I update regularly, and the same for my old iPhone 11 Pro. All up to date. Never an issue.
