Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionThis Canon scanner driver appears to be discontinued and no longer actively maintained by Canon. The search results show that Canon has not released Apple Silicon-compatible versions of drivers for many older printer models like the MG8100 series. Unfortunately, Canon has moved away from supporting legacy printer models with newer macOS versions and Apple Silicon architecture. For scanning functionality, you should consider using macOS's built-in Image Capture application, which may provide basic scanning capabilities with your MG8100, or look into third-party scanning apps like VueScan that offer broad printer compatibility and native Apple Silicon support.
