Hi,


The PIXMA MP240 is an older printer. The support pages of Canon USA and Canon Europe both indicate that OS X 10.9 Mavericks is the latest supported operating system. This does not automatically mean that the printer cannot be used under newer system versions, so you may want to try the drivers offered anyway. Do not expect such an attempt to be successful, though. It may not even be possible to install the drivers.


If nothing else works, you could possibly carry out tests with Gutenprint drivers (there are two experimental MP240 files mentioned in http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php).

Before each attempt to use a new driver, it may be necessary to reset the printing system.
