Canon: Mp280 Driver Scanner Fix

Arthur wasn’t trying to print. He was trying to scan. He had a stack of old family photographs—fragile, fading memories of his parents’ wedding—that he needed to digitize before time claimed them completely. He opened the lid, placed a photo face-down on the glass, and pressed the 'Scan' button on the printer's plastic top.

He clicked 'Next', agreed to the terms and conditions he didn't read, and waited. The status bar filled up. Extracting files... Copying new files... Registering components...

No scanner detected.

: The MP280 is an older model. If you use Windows 11 , try installing the Windows 10 driver in "Compatibility Mode."
