Any work around to use a Canon IPF6100 with Mac OS 12 Monterey?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
The latest drivers I see at Canon are for Big Sur.
If the macOS 11 Big Sur drivers do not work, then contact Canon Support to see if they have a solution for macOS Monterey 12.
There maybe two other possibilities. If your printer came with the Air Print feature, the will work. It requires no printer software, but is usually provided only on newer printers. The second option is to check out the respected web site below where volunteers write free drivers for older printers which are no longer supported, but which work with newer operating systems. It is worth checking out. Good luck.
I have two suggestions. Try resetting your printer's preferences. If that doesn't work you will need to install a printer driver that is compliant with Monterey.
Thank you for the link, but the highest macOS for drivers is v10.11 El Capitan, and v12 will not allow installing that?
Will try Canon, but not holding much hope as they seem to have abandoned supporting this printer for some time.
Cheers and happy holidays

My bad, you are correct.

If that doesn't pan out, then you best hope is Ronasara's suggestion.

Same to you and your's.
Have not been able to reach Canon (holidays)?
And no drivers on Gutenprint
I will try to partition my disk and have ElCaptan installed on the partition, hopefully I will have access to my photos?
Will share if it works.
Cheers
