The MF4450 was a heavily used printer, and it was having a hard time printing thin text, so I bought a used MF4150 (two years older) with low milage and in perfect condition. I connected it and managed to get it working in Windows 11. I had to dig through the drive settings, and in my case had to select LPT3 as the default printer port. As I am saying, I had to dig through the driver settings and find the right port that the MF4150 was connected to. I set that port as default and the printer is working in Windows 11, perfectly. It's not officially listed on the Canon website as being Win11 compatible, but I got it working. Unfortunately the process isn't completely plug and play. Google "Canon MF4450 Windows 11 reddit" to find the article where I managed to get the first printer going. I think installing the generic drivers sparked printer recognition by windows - even though the outdated drivers had been installed.
With the MF4150 (MF4100 series) the process seems about the same. You just have to dig into the driver settings and select the correct printer port. What I can say, is that I've got a MF4150 that I got at a great deal working on Win11. The printer DOES work in Win 11 with the older drivers.

Find the *.ppd file for your printer. Often it is supplied on the driver CD. Or when you have installed it on a windows system it should be somewhere on your windows drive. You can manually choose the ppd file during the installation of your printer. (PPD 's are universal for windows, linux and mac systems and contain the information that CUPS need, if I am not mistaken). more information:
when i tried to install the package from canon asia web site, it complained about the cupsys2 (an obsolete package for Karmic).
I tried to install from source, this time it recognized the driver. However I cannot print, keep getting error
I have installed drivers V2.1 (found here: -asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100270807.html) converted from .rpm to .deb using alien and now my Canon D480 prints (via network) from my 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04. Hope this helps somebody. (Truth be told there have been CUPS updates between now and last time I tried with drivers V2.0, so I'm not sure what fixed the problem, Canon drivers or CUPS updates)
I am finally able to print on my MF4150 after this fix to cups:
+source/cups/+bug/1160638
and using latest canon linux drivers: v2.70 which by the way are also available as 64-bit deb packages.
Tested on both 13.04 Raring 64bit, and 13.10 Saucy 64bit. Some more info here: +question/222301
