How to stop CIJScannerRegister to connect online?

Hi 😉


I find out that my mac keeps trying to connect online with CIJScannerRegister.

Little Snitch application didn't propose me to setup a rule to stop the behavior of CIJScannerRegister.



What is it exactly? 😕 I found that it is a Canon printer related app(?)

and more important can I stop this non ending online behavior?

I hate to hear the fan of the Mac running nonstop from on, till off.

How to do stop CIJScannerRegister? ℹ

Please explain me step by step if possible, 😝

specially if I have to use Terminal or so.

I'd rather use the coding way, but

if you got as well a solution with some rule from Little Snitch, pls let me know too.


Thank you for your help

Dear all, Dear Apple community thank you in advance.

In System Preferences > Users & Groups, use the system password to unlock this preference, then select the Login Items tab. Is CIJScannerRegister listed in the login items window. You can stop it by removing it. Click the lock icon again to secure this preference. Reboot.


If not above, then:


Check the following locations for the CIJScannerRegister name string ending in .plist. You can use the Finder window. If you do find it, drag it to the Trash.


/Users/your-directory/Library/LaunchAgents

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons

i don't have any Canon products connected to my system, and never have, yet CIJScannerRegister runs every time i start my iMac (running Mountain Lion). i do have an HP All-in-One Printer Scanner that i recently bought, and it was afterward that i noticed this rogue process running all the time, broadcasting constant chatter over UDP port 8612 to multicast address 224.0.0.1 and 192.x.x.255 (every 7 seconds). i think it has something to do with 'scanner sharing', which i do not have enabled. i didn't install any HP or 3rd party printer/scanner software either; i simply allowed the MacOS updater to download & install the appropriate printer software from Apple.
