Jan 17, 2016 3:43 PM in response to Monkerhoganby PAHU,The printer and scanner driver that Canon released for the MP470 was for OS X 10.9. They should install and operate on OS X 10.11 so here is a link to the v10.84 printer driver and the ICA scanner driver. Note the ICA driver is for scanning with Image Capture and Preview.
Canon also provides a scanning application called MP Navigator. To use MP Navigator you will need to install the MP470 scanner driver.

Sep 24, 2016 6:00 AM in response to PAHUby ChristinaCall,I had installed an even newer version of the driver, then based on some recommendations on this site, tried to remove the printer and re-add it. Now I can't even get the old driver to come up. On my latest trip to the Canon site, I tried to download software yet again, and got this response: "There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver."
Mac has told me in plain language that they don't have a driver for this printer. I'm starting to worry that this printer, in perfect condition, is entirely unsupported by my new computer. OS X 10.11.6
