Canon MP980 series
Canon MP980 series is a multifunction printer-scanner-copier produced by Canon in the late 2000s. This all-in-one device is designed for home and small office use, offering printing, scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities in a single unit. The ScanGear driver software bundled with the device allows users to scan documents and photos directly to their Mac. The MP980 was a popular mid-range Canon printer from its era, particularly favored by users who needed reliable document handling and photo printing quality.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionThe ScanGear driver for the Canon MP980 series is legacy software from the late 2000s and is no longer supported or updated by Canon. If you are still using this printer on an M-series Mac, you will need to run it under Rosetta 2 emulation. Canon has not released a native Apple Silicon version of this driver. Your best options are to contact Canon support to ask whether a modern driver exists for your hardware, check the Canon support website to see if a newer universal driver for older multifunction printers is available, or consider upgrading to a newer Canon printer model that includes native macOS drivers. If the printer itself still works and you primarily need basic scanning functionality, you may also investigate whether macOS's built-in Image Capture utility can address your scanning needs without the proprietary driver.
