The Cannon MP250 is only connected via USB and not an Airprint printer.

Cannon's support sit only lit drivers for as high as Big Sir.

Thus, it i not clear if it will work with Monterey. Cannon does not list your printer as bing compatible with Monterey

If it is AirPrint capable, you shouldn't need to install anything.

If it isn't, check with Canon for printing and scanning software.


If it is connected to your Network or directly connected, in Printers & Scanners System Prefs, Clic Add (+) button. It should appear in the list. Select it and use the AirPrint driver.

For Scanning, open Image Capture and look for it in the Devices.
