Canon printer support

I use a Canon MX870 multifunction printer/fax/scanner. I’ve had no issue using it with a series of Android phones. Now that I have switched to an iPhone 12 Pro Max, I seem to be unable to connect to the printer with any usual tool.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hi,


Canon PIXMA MX870 does not appear to be an AirPrint (About AirPrint - Apple Support) model.


This means that you will need a special app from the printer manufacturer in order to print from an iPhone. At least according to the following web pages, Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY seems to be compatible with an MX870.
