Q: Install Canon MP610 Printer on MacBook Yosemite 10.10.2
Hello,
I just got a new computer, a macbookpro running on yosemite 10.10.2 and I can't install my canon pixma MP610 printer&scanner on it.. I found a link Canon Printer Drivers v3.2 for OS X and tried to install it.. twice: but I can't find any trace of it anywhere on my computer after the installation has succeeded !
The only thing I could find was this http://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctio nals/inkjet/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp610.…
and dowloaded the "easy-photo-print".. which seems to be working..but only for printing photos..which doesn't help my case..
I can use the scan from my printer via system preferences, but it won't print anything..
Obviously there is a compatibility issue between this printer/scanner and the yosemite system... But does one of you know a way to still make it work?!
Many Thanks
MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

This installer will copy files to HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter so that you can add the printer. However if you refer to the Apple article about supported printers for that Canon package you will see that your MP610 is not a supported model.

Seems odd that you can print from Easy Photo Print, because you would need a MP610 printer installed in Printers & Scanners in order to be able to print from this application.

This also seems odd that you have the Scan tab in Printers & Scanners but no printer, because you cannot have the Scan tab unless you have the Print tab.
Assuming that you don't have a supporting printer driver for the MP610 here is a link to the last MP610 driver that Canon released which was for OS X 10.8. There is a chance that Gatekeeper will block the installation of this driver as it is not signed for Yosemite. To get past Gatekeeper, Control-click on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. Now you will be given the option to install the driver.
Once the driver installation is complete you can then open Printers & Scanners to add the printer.
