Oct 19, 2012 1:41 PM in response to swebastianoby sberman,Assuming your printer is part of the Canon MG5300 series, then Apple supports it and has the driver for you.
Here's Apple's Mac Print 101 article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
I suggest you go to System Preferences > Print & Scan and remove your printer. Then add it again. Apple will find your drivers and keep them current per the attached article.

I purchased a Canon Pixma MG5350 and try to install the driver but this message appears on my screen: The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/hpPlugInInit.kext”
Do you have any HP peripherals? Did you have any HP peripherals? I am wondering why what would appear to be HP software is needed for a Canon printer.

Oct 20, 2012 4:19 AM in response to sbermanby swebastiano,Thank you sberman for your answer. I have tried it but it doesn't work. I just deleted the plugin and everything that had to do with HP, emptied my trash and rebooted my mac and the driver was correctly installed, finally! Now I have another problem though. I can not add the printer to the laptop via System Preferences > Print & Scan and it does not even show in System Information > Usb that I am connected to the printer. The printer comes without a USB cable so I bought one yesterday and think that is the problem.
