Hi,


Unfortunately, drivers for the PIXMA MP150 appear to be available only for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and earlier from Canon.

Experimental Canon PIXMA MP150 Gutenprint drivers seem to exist, but it is unclear whether these would work with anything later than macOS 10.14 Mojave.


From Apple, there is an older download Canon Printer Drivers v3.4 for macOS, but only for other MP models. The system requirements say Not compatible with macOS v12 and newer, but one should perhaps not completely rule out that the package (and one of the other drivers) may be used with a somewhat later operating system version anyway, but that would be entirely experimental.


Whatever you do, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files before testing anything.
