Canon MX450 series Network
Canon MX450 series Network is a TWAIN driver and scanner interface for the Canon PIXMA MX450 multifunction printer/scanner. It enables macOS applications to communicate with the scanner hardware over a network connection, allowing users to scan documents and images directly into supported software like Preview, Image Capture, or third-party applications. The driver provides image acquisition, format selection, and basic scanning options such as resolution and colour mode. TWAIN drivers are system-level components that sit between applications and scanner hardware.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis bundle ID indicates a TWAIN scanner driver for a Canon multifunction printer — specifically a sub-component of the Canon MX450 printer driver package rather than a standalone application. TWAIN drivers are not separately updatable. The way to ensure you have the native Apple Silicon version is to download and reinstall the complete Canon MX450 printer driver package from Canon's support site. Visit support.canon.com, search for the MX450, and download the latest macOS driver installer for your Mac's architecture — Canon now ships Universal Binary drivers that include native Apple Silicon support. Reinstalling the full driver package will replace this TWAIN component with its current native version. If the Canon support site does not show a native build for your printer model, contact Canon directly; some older multifunction printers may not have received Apple Silicon driver updates, and in that case you may need to consider upgrading the hardware before September 2028 when Rosetta 2 support ends.
