Canon MX860 series
Canon MX860 series is a scanner driver and image-acquisition utility for Canon MX860 multifunction printers and scanners. It provides TWAIN support for scanning documents and photos directly into macOS applications, along with basic image preview and adjustment controls. The app is installed as part of the Canon printer driver package and is used primarily by photographers, offices, and home users who need to scan documents, receipts, photographs or other physical media into digital form.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe Canon MX860 is an older printer model (released around 2010), and Canon's support for this hardware has been limited for some years. No search results were available to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build of this driver has been released. Contact Canon support directly to ask whether a native MX860 driver build exists for Apple Silicon Macs, and if so, where to obtain it. If Canon has discontinued support for this model without releasing a native build, the Intel-only driver will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — roughly 27 months away. In that scenario, you would need to either upgrade to a newer Canon printer model with current Apple Silicon driver support, or migrate to a different brand's multifunction printer. Check Canon's support site now to determine your upgrade path while you still have time.
