When this device is connected to a wired Ethernet, or Wi-Fi network connection, it is supported by Apple's built-in AirPrint solution that frees you from any Canon software/driver installation.


With the printer networked and powered, visit System Preferences > Printers & Scanners panel. Select the MG3120 entry, right-click, and choose the Reset printing system… menu entry. This will allow you to remove the printer and then re-add it using AirPrint drivers instead of Canon drivers. Print something afterward to verify it is working properly.

Hello there, Imhaus!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like your printer is not worjing with your Mac mini. First, we recommend trying the steps from Solve printing problems on Mac which can help with most printer issues.
