Cannon Pixma MX475 Printer

I have a very embarrassing situation as have just been given this printer as a present but there does not appear to be a printer driver available compatible with my iMac. I am running Catalina 10.15.7. Is there anyway round this as I naturally do not wish to tell the giver of the present that the printer won't work on my iMac?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Big Sur and Canon printers I have an iMac recently updated to Big Sur. My printer, a Canon Pixma MG6120, seemed to work ok for the most part (scanner wouldn't work), but since themes recent software update yesterday, my printer won't work at all. Canon's website does not offer a printer driver for Big Sur. Does this mean that I need to buy a new printer now? This is very frustrating!

It ought to work with no additional software. The Canon tech specs page state that it is compatible with macOS 10.6.8 or later and with Apple's AirPrint technology.

It's usual in recent years for printer software to be included in operating systems.

And as a last resort you can access the Canon software here.
