Installing Canon Printer Driver on Windows Server 2016

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to install the driver for my MF621Cn printer on my Windows Server 2016. The Windows Server 2016 is a clean installation and nothing much have been installed on to it.

I have installed the printer driver successfully on other OS, namely Windows 10. However, when I run the driver installer on my Windows Server 2016, the installer unconveniently skips a page with options of installing via usb or via network, and goes directly into the network option. I am using the same installer file for both cases, and I have tried multiple versions of the the printer driver (e.g: MF630 driver, MF621 driver Malay language) all of which exhibit the same behavior.

This leads me to believe that a part of windows server feature is blocking the installation, but I'm not sure what. I have tried:

1. Enabling 'Print and Document Services' Role from Server Manager

2. Disabling 'Devices: Prevent users from installing printer drivers' from Local Group Policy Editor.

What might be causing the issue?


Regards

Ilyas
