Let me paint you a picture. It’s 11:47 PM. I have one bar of battery left on my laptop. I just bought a Canon MG2206 off Facebook Marketplace for $20 because the seller said, and I quote, “it just needs a driver or something.”
And you know what? The driver is actually solid. No bloatware. No “Canon Optional Photo Album Creator 2015.” Just print and scan. The scan UI looks like it was designed for Windows XP, but it’s responsive, finds the flatbed in 2 seconds, and outputs clean 600dpi PDFs without crashing. canon 2206 driver

Do I pick the one from 2021? The “recommended” one from 2019? Or the “alternative” that promises AirPrint compatibility but smells like a beta test? Let me paint you a picture
