Canon ip2600 printer and Dell Inspiron15 Windows 11 laptop

Hello,
I have Canon ip2600 printer which I have successfully used for a few years on a Desktop Win 7 PC, I would like to have continued to use it on my Laptop but I have been searching the web and I cannot find driver software for it, any help would be appreciated.
I do have the installation disks for it but no CD Rom drive on laptop, I could purchase a CD Rom drive to try it but would it? if not it would be a waste of money just to try it, any ideas at all.
Any help and or ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks.

I would plug it in to the computer and see if Windows has a generic driver. If not I would try the win 8 drivers.

Old thread, but I'm having the same issue. See I have the same printer. The Win 8 drivers worked with it in Windows 10. I did a Win 11 Upgrade in place and the printer no longer works, just says not responding. I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer as specified on reddit, but I suspect that will work.

Hope this helps.

Just wanted to follow up and say that uninstalling the printer driver, re-installing it with the printer disconnected, connecting the USB cable and then turning the printer on seems to have worked.

I didn't try to print anything, but I could view the ink levels and turn the printer off through the driver and I couldn't do that last week, so it seems to have fixed the issue.
