Unable to connect Canon G 2020 printer to my Mac

Recently bought a printer Canon G2020 that is compatible with my Mac Os Sierra 10.12.6. The software for setting up the computer was downloaded from the Canon website, but my Mac refuses to recognize the pinter or its software. Simply cannot connect.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.12

Reset the Printing System:

I had the same issue with my Epson Eco Tank Printers - Reseting the Printing System fixed it, as the drivers were installed in an instant. Use these Drivers: PIXMA G2200 - Canon. Always get the drivers from the manufacturer, as getting the elsewhere may result in malware or spyware installed on your computer.


So, Reset the Printing System, and then install with the above drivers.

  1. Go To: System Preferences
  2. Select: Printers & Scanners
  3. Right-Click: on this pinter
  4. Select: Reset printing system...
  5. Click: Reset button
