Canon MX450 series
Canon MX450 series refers to the scanner and multifunction printer driver software for Canon's MX450 line of inkjet multifunction devices. The bundle ID indicates this is a TWAIN-compliant scanner driver component, used to enable macOS to communicate with Canon MX450 scanners for document scanning and image capture. The driver sits between applications (like Preview, Photoshop, or dedicated scanning software) and the hardware, allowing users to scan documents and photos directly into their Mac.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis appears to be a scanner driver component rather than a standalone application. Driver software for peripheral devices like the Canon MX450 series typically requires contact with the vendor to confirm native Apple Silicon support. Since your MX450 device is a multifunction printer released around 2012, it is quite old, and Canon may no longer actively maintain drivers for such legacy hardware. Visit Canon's support website directly and search for "MX450 macOS driver" or "MX450 Apple Silicon driver" to check the latest available driver. If Canon does not offer a native build or any recent update, you may find that the current driver works under Rosetta 2 today but will stop functioning when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028). In that event, you would need to either upgrade to a newer Canon printer with native Apple Silicon driver support or use a third-party scanning solution. For immediate troubleshooting, Canon's official support pages and driver download centre are your best resource.
