Driver For Canon PIXMA G2010

I recently bought a Macbook Air, however it doesn't support my PIXMA G2010.. Is there any available driver for MAC? or what should I do?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

There's a lot of conufusion regarding drivers, on the web. I don't understand what policy most companies have about it. You search in a country... no drivers. You search in another one: drivers! This is the last I found and looks is an official Canon site and states clearly Big Sur is supported (see picture). May be worth a try:

Another solution could be the "old" CUPS printing engine (which I believe the actual comes from). It's often suggested here as an alternative to standard - non available - drivers but I can't get a link to the G2010's PPD and the site has become tricky.

Hi,


As you already know, the G2010 is not supported for Mac (see the specifications below).

There are macOS drivers for some other models (for example, the G2000), but it is unknown to me whether any of these would work at all with a G2010.

If you download drivers, make sure that they are from an official Canon site (or from another trustworthy source, such as Apple). There are a number of third-party sites on the Internet, often with names appearing to be from a printer manufacturer. Be careful!
