Hi,

The latest supported system for drivers from Canon appears to be OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

One should perhaps not expect this to work with macOS 12 Monterey.

If not, you could also try an earlier download from Apple (for similar models), but the result may well be the same.

Canon Printer Drivers v3.4 for macOS

Gutenprint drivers for the MP530 are listed as experimental at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php. May or may not work with your computer and operating system. However, the normal recommendation is to download drivers from Apple or a printer manufacturer only. Downloading from another source would be at your own risk.

As always, make sure that you have multiple backup copies of all important files (documents, photos, etc) before testing anything. Software conflicts can never be ruled out.

If necessary, reset the printing system between tests.
