The Canon MG5750 printer worked with my old MacBookAir as printer and scanner. It prints OK with the new M1 version but for scanning, it's not doing anything - I get 'The application “Canon IJScanner15f” can’t be opened' Any suggestions?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1
Hello,
Drivers for the Canon PIXMA MG5750 can be found here:
Please note the information for the ICA Driver Ver.4.1.3a (Mac) under Precaution.
How is the printer connected?
This printer supports the driverless AirPrint technology (About AirPrint - Apple Support), and can thus be used without drivers. For further information, see this guide: https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/apple_airprint_guide/ .

The first driver is intended for scanning, the other for printing. However, as indicated earlier, drivers should not be needed if your MG5750 has been added as an AirPrint printer. I assume that the printer and the computer are connected via a Wi-Fi router.

So I will try downloading the drivers . . .
Wireless connection as was the old MacBook. 'Scuse my ignorance but are these drivers needed for the scanner or print functions or for both - -because the Canon works fine as a printer.
I still get the error message" The application “Canon IJScanner15f” can’t be opened
That seems to have resolved the problem! Thank you.
