I just got a new Windows 11 box. My older (2011) Windows 10 box connected easily to my wife's USB-connected Canon MP730 printer over the home network to her Windows 10 box. This new Windows 11 box will not do so (at least after HOURS of attempts and a lot of CoPilot discussions). I can get to her Windows 10 Public Folder on her machine from this Windows 11 box, and trhe printer shows up on the network, but I keep getting error messages ("Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000040). The Specified Network Name is no longer available"). VERY FRUSTRATING!

Anybody have a suggestion? (Yes, a 64 bit driver from Canon's website is installed on the Windows 11 box).
