Canon G Series Printer Driver - G1000, G2000, G3000, G4000

I just bought a new Canon G2010 printer. And unfortunately I could not print any file from my MacBook at the first time. I found that it's Printer Driver issue. I've tried to find the driver in Canon official site but did not find Mac version. And finally I found it in the unofficial website. But it did not work well. It raised 311 code problem. It was connected but error in connection.


Then I found the working driver from Gutenprint. You can download the driver for Canon G series prineter here:

It works for me! Finally after hours of searching the driver, I found it from here:

Lol!


Printer is working but Scanner is not detected yet in Photoshop. Anybody know how to use Scanner in Canon G2010? Usually I used PS, is there any software to do scan?


Thanks.

Try scanning through System Preferences> Printers & Scanners> Scan.

Or try using the Image Capture app in your Applications folder or again in Applications

you could try and scan using the Preview app.
