I have installed Big Sur. Now I cannot use or download our Canon printer driver......
Hello again,
Yes, the Canon (PIXMA) MG5350 is mentioned in the article About AirPrint - Apple Support as a printer supporting the driverless AirPrint technology. This means that the printer is compatible with macOS (Big Sur).
Regarding the firmware, please have a look at https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctionals/inkjet/pixma_mg_series/pixma_mg5350.html?type=firmware . There is an AirPrint Firmware Updater (Mac) for MG5300 series Ver.1.2b (19 September 2017). Unless already installed, please note the updating details.
Also see the Manual for how to use AirPrint for Mac.
It may not be a bad idea to reset the printing system (steps in the following article) before you add the printer.

Information about how to add the printer can be found here:
Add a printer on Mac - Apple Support
It should not be too difficult to make this work. Do you have an existing Wi-Fi network with a router? If so, make sure that the printer and the Mac computer are connected to the same network. Do not hesitate to post back in case of additional questions.
Good luck!
This is the best answer I have ever come across on a forum... I have an "unsupported" Canon printer which works again, thank you!
I'm glad you got it working. Gutenprint has been hit or miss with Big Sur but they are slowly getting all drivers compatible with Big Sur so that's good news.
I was trying to install cannon printer on this new iMac computer not having any luck
Apparently there is no Driver for the Canon MX515 to run on Big Sur. Can you advise if there is a way around this? I can print but I Cannot scan.
Thanks
Brilliant - but how do I "add those apps to the firewall". I'm over 50 so therefore ignorant to the mechanisations of the technical aspects of everything!
canon lab 2900 B driver is not working on my Mac Big Sur M1?
This solution worked immediately. Thanks for the help.
Can't find a driver that works with Big Sur for my Canon Pixma MG6200
This helped me as well. Thank you
Thanks a lot!
Adding the ICA driver to the firewall authorized apps was exactly what I needed to get rid of the "Not authorized to open IJScanner15s.app" message, and be able to use my Pixma MX490 scanner!
Based on the version number, release date, and size/name of the file, it appears that the 10.15 and 11.1 Canon install versions are one in the same. Also, the release notes for the drivers state that the installer should work for multiple versions, as below.
Nothing in the other posts really apply, as the software can't be removed (was never installed), and the reset process can't be applied without the printer existing first.
Interesting, I don't see it on the support site. I see that the FAX_v4.15.7_Mac.zip file was updated on 12/8/2020, but the latest posted PS file is PS_v4.17.5 from 11/20/20 under the MacOS Big Sur 11.0.1 header (or any header, for that matter).
"I did talk to Canon support and because of the new M1 chip they have to write a new driver. It will be release in a few days so hold on. I did get an advanced release and it works with my Mac mini M1 chip."
What was the specific error message you got with the bunk drivers?
Any chance you can help a fellow printerless fella get the advance copy to get rolling again?
My problem is solved, I can print now. I checked at Canon site whether there may be a more recent driver for my LBP3010 - and there it was! Paradoxically dated 4. Dec which was the date when I downloaded its previous version (10.0.2) that could not be installed on Big Sur. It seems I just missed the actual version (10.0.3) then. Thanks all for the effort!
