Canon MP560 series Network
Canon MP560 series Network is a TWAIN scanner driver and image acquisition utility for the Canon PIXMA MP560 multifunction inkjet printer. It enables scanning directly to macOS from the hardware via network connection, integrating with image editing and document management applications through the TWAIN interface. The software includes a graphical scanning control panel where users can adjust resolution, color mode, brightness and destination folder before initiating scans. It is primarily used by home and small-office users who need to digitise paper documents or photos using their Canon printer.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis appears to be a TWAIN scanner driver for an older Canon multifunction printer (the MP560 was released around 2009–2010). Canon stopped shipping dedicated driver updates for this model years ago, and there is no evidence of an active native Apple Silicon build. The Intel-only version continues to work under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this driver will stop launching after that release. Before that deadline arrives, you have two practical options: contact Canon support directly to ask whether a native macOS driver or firmware update exists for your MP560, or begin planning to migrate to a newer Canon multifunction printer that includes a current native scanner driver. Alternatively, you may be able to use macOS's built-in Image Capture application (in Applications › Utilities) to scan directly from the printer without a third-party driver — this often works for network-connected scanners even without vendor drivers. Test Image Capture first; if it detects your scanner, you have a path forward without buying new hardware.
