This device is supported by Apple's built-in AirPrint drivers which supersede the need for Canon drivers. If it is configured wireless/wired, it will be discovered by Apple's Bonjour service, but only if on the same subnet (ideally with a static DHCP address outside of your normal DHCP range) and without any USB cables connected.

re: "finding"


Apple uses Bonjour/Discovery protocol to quickly and easily locate devices and services on your local network. but it requires a special setting in your network interface:


IPv6:

System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi|Ethernet > (advanced) >TCP/IP > IPv6

... to Link-local only


ON may cause routing activity that interferes with your networking.

OFF will make it hard to find printers and other services on your network.
