FWIW, HP has similarly "intrusive" software for some of their all-in-one printers. For almost any problem, they require and instruct that complete printer software removal and re-installation is required, and they do mean COMPLETE with rebooting after removal and after re-installation. NONE of the previous installation files could remain and have the re-install work. Perhaps Canon has similar "features".
