About This App

Canon MG3100 series is a printer and scanner driver/utility for Canon's multifunction inkjet printer line. It provides scan-to-computer functionality (via TWAIN), printer status monitoring, and basic print driver integration for users who want to digitise documents or photos directly from the hardware to their Mac. The app is bundled with Canon MG3100 printers and is typically only needed if you own that specific printer model.

The bundle ID suggests this is Canon's TWAIN driver and scanner utility for the MG3100 printer line — a device driver rather than a general-purpose application. Canon's support pages and driver downloads are your primary resource here. Contact Canon support or visit their downloads site and search for "MG3100 Mac driver" to check whether a native Apple Silicon build is available for your macOS version. If Canon has released a native driver, download and install it directly from Canon's site to replace the Intel-only version. If Canon has not yet published a native build for the MG3100 on Apple Silicon Macs, ask them for an estimated timeline — the Intel build will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). Older Canon printer drivers are sometimes abandoned in favour of AirPrint (which is built into macOS and requires no separate driver), so it is also worth testing whether your MG3100 can print and scan via AirPrint on your current macOS; if it does, you may not need any separate driver at all once Rosetta is gone.
