    Is it a Desktop or a Laptop?

    What brand?

    What Model?

    What's your Printer's Brand?

    What Model?

    This will establish if it's firstly possible then if it's worthwhile.

    Cannon do show a W11 driver for that printer.

    As you do not know the model number of your desktop you need to run the Windows11 compatability checker I linked to earlier.
    This video shows you how if unsure.

    Is the Acer PC a Desktop or a Laptop?????????

    Whichever of the two it is, it'll have a product label on it. Typically, on the underside if it's a laptop and either on the back or to one side on a desktop.

    The label will give you a model number. No Label then..............

    Press the [Windows] and [R] keys simultaneously so that the "Run" command opens. Enter "msinfo32" and confirm with "OK". Now the system information opens. Here you will get a detailed overview of the installed hardware and also the model and serial number.

      Your system is most likely W11 compatible, but there are other factors, so you must run that W11 checker tool to ensure evrything else is correct.
