scanserver
ScanServer is a background service application developed by Canon Electronics that enables network scanning functionality for Canon document scanners and multifunction printers. It runs as a system service on Mac computers to facilitate communication between Canon scanning hardware and scanning applications. The service allows Canon scanners to be shared across a network and enables remote scanning capabilities. Users typically encounter this app when it requests network permissions during macOS startup, as it needs to accept incoming network connections to function properly.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the available information, Canon's ScanServer appears to be in maintenance mode with infrequent updates, and there's no clear indication of Apple Silicon optimization. Since this is a hardware-specific driver service from Canon, your best option is to check Canon's official support website for your specific scanner model to see if updated drivers with Apple Silicon support are available. If Canon hasn't updated the drivers for your scanner model, you may want to consider alternative scanning software like NAPS2, which offers cross-platform scanning capabilities and active development, though it may require compatible scanner drivers.
