i just used this to fix a Canon multifunction issue. the Canon multifunction driver install fails (of course), but then also can't be removed due to missing fax service.

a possible workaround is to use Canon XPS drivers instead if one doesn't want the fax service installed (i'm not sure this contains the scanner drivers though)

additionally, it appears dism /Online /Remove-Capability /CapabilityName:Print.Management.Console~~~~0.0.1.0 must be run before re-adding it with dism /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Print.Management.Console~~~~0.0.1.0 to ensure it reinstalls correctly. possibly the same is true for Print.Fax.Scan

Can't reproduce personally, although I'm testing on 24H2 so it might be different?
