Win10 HP laptop *will not* install Canon printer driver

Longish story, but MrsB's old HP laptop, Win10, has been playing up for quite a while. We decided to invest in a similar model, but it had no driver for our Canon Pixma MG2550S scanner/printer. Easy, yeah, just visit the Canon website, download and install?

The download works (though bloated) and the install begins. It gets close to the end and asks us to plug in the printer and switch on. OK, it then tells us "Printer detected ... completing the installation" or words to that effect. Sometime later we're told "Installation almost complete ... just a little longer"
After a while it says "Printer not detected" even though the printer hasn't been touched.

The only exit is to "Start over". Tried this, but with exactly the same result.

Now I'm officially stuck and mystified. Any suggestions gratefully received, but if CE says "Use Ubuntu" I'll ******* scream ;)
