Unsupported Canon G3010 to macbook

I bought Canon G3010 (wifi) and I just found out that it’s not supported with Macbook. I’m doomed. But I believe there must be some ways to overcome this. Maybe there is universal driver for this printer? So far I just installed Gutenprint driver and yes, I can only print my document using this Canon G3010 amazingly. But the problem is, I cannot activate my scanner and Airprint because there is no supported official driver from Canon. Can someone help me to find the solution? Don’t ask me to resell the printer because that’s impossible here. Thanks.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Hi,

As you have discovered, the G3010 appears to be a Windows (and Linux) printer only. Everything else would be experimental. Have you checked whether drivers for one of the other printers in the same series (https://in.canon/en/support/models?series=31&category=11&range=5) could be of some use? Regarding scanning, you could possibly try Image Capture (but a Canon driver may be required, and USB may be needed). Alternatively, the third-party VueScan could perhaps be of interest.
