   Yes, but it's built like a tank, and I think will outlast me! It also   
   does double-sided, and (although of course that's a function of the   
   driver) booklets.

   I seem to have "CLP-775_Series_WIN_PCL_COLOR_V3.13.12.00.28_CDV1.23.exe"   
   - can't remember where I got it. In Properties, it says 2022/9/15 ...

   ... so I've downloaded the above one (it doesn't say Windows 11 to me -   
   the top of the page says Windows 10 (64-bit), which it has [correctly]   
   detected I'm using), though won't install it unless I have problems.

   I've done the regedit suggested in the video pointed to by John K.Eason   
   (see my reply for what it contains), to stop any "update" attempt by   
   Windows; I _hope_ that will also stop any kill attempt as well as just   
   updates.
