I have a Canon PIXMA TS5350 printer which is connected to my WiFi network and has been working fine.
Suddenly however, I was not able to print from my Win10 machine.
I have uninstalled all the drivers, canon SW etc. Restarted, tried installing again just the drivers, and doing the whole set-up from the start again but it does not work. I get an error "New Port could not be created: 001" (See screenshot)
If I try to install the printer via Windows printers, then it finds the printer but I get a "Driver not available" error.
I have uninstalled, restarted, many times, before, after trying the different methods.
Windows, can find the printer fine. And the Canon IJ Network Connection assistant can also find it (and I can navigate to the homepage of the printer via the browser).
So it seems to be a problem locally on my machine setting up the port for it, but I can resolve it. I find several methods online, none of which help at all.
I cannot also find how to create a ticket via Canon support (Europe) for this problem either!
Edit: So I found that I have no ports defined in the "Printer server properties", but I also can't add any as it asks for a driver for a new "port type"
