It seems you are experiencing issues with installing your Canon printer driver on Windows 11 due to insufficient administrator rights, despite having administrative privileges. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
- Run as Administrator: Right-click on the installer for the Canon printer driver and select "Run as administrator". This can sometimes bypass permission issues.
- Check User Account Control (UAC) Settings: Ensure that your UAC settings are not set to the highest level, which can restrict installations. You can adjust this in the Control Panel under User Accounts.
- Disable Antivirus/Firewall Temporarily: Sometimes, security software can interfere with driver installations. Temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall to see if that resolves the issue.
- Check Group Policy Settings: If you are on a corporate network, there might be group policies in place that restrict driver installations. Contact your IT department for assistance.
- Install from Device Manager: Instead of using the installer, you can try to install the driver through Device Manager:
- Open Device Manager.
- Right-click on "Printers" and select "Add a printer".
- Choose "The printer that I want isn’t listed" and follow the prompts to manually install the driver.
- Use Windows Update: Sometimes, the latest drivers are available through Windows Update. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to consult Canon support again or check for any specific driver updates from their website.
