Installing Canon Pixma printer on OS Ventura 13.4

HI I have a new Mac OS Ventura 13.4. I have a canon MP Pixma 499 at home, but I can't seem to find a compatible driver. Does anyone know a way around this by any chance? Am hoping I don't need to buy a new printer! Any help much appreciated.

Hi,


Unfortunately, the drivers provided by Canon seem to be for older Mac operating system versions only.

An experimental Gutenprint driver appears to exist for the PIXMA MP499, but it is unclear whether this would work with anything later than macOS 10.14 Mojave.


Generally speaking, be careful when looking for printer drivers on the Internet. There are several dubious third-party "support pages", often with misleading names. Download from an official web site of a printer manufacturer, or from another trustworthy source (such as Apple).
