    My flatbed scanner has been on my desk for ages. After moivng to Windows 11, I get:

    This app can't run on your PC

    This app can't run on your PC

To find a version for your PC, check with the
software publisher.

    I found an old driver CD but its the same story. is there a compatible driver from a simliar model, or some built-in Windows driver I can try? id honestly be happy with basic fnuctionality. it doesnt need every feature from the old software, just reliable printing or sacnning. pls help 🙏

    hmmm try Windows' built-in drivers first: Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > Add device > 'The printer that I want isn't listed' > Add a local printer... pick the manufacturer and look for ur model or a close sibling in the list... click 'Windows Update' in that dialog to refresh the list.

    many laser printers support standard PCL or PostScript. A generic driver like Generic / Text Only is too basic, but a PCL driver from the same manufacturers universal driver often works for older models.

    the This app cant run on your PC message is often just the installer wrapper. extract the package with 7-Zip and look for an .inf file; you can point Device Manager > Update driver > Browse my copmuter at that folder. worked for me anyway 🤷
