We could not find recent information about whether Canon has released a native Apple Silicon build of the MX870 series scanner driver. The bundle ID suggests this is a TWAIN scanning driver rather than a full printer driver suite. We recommend visiting Canon's support site directly and searching for "MX870 driver Apple Silicon" or "MX870 macOS 11 and later" to check the current driver status. If no native build is available yet, contact Canon support to ask about their timeline — Intel-only drivers like this one will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), giving you approximately two years to plan an alternative or upgrade path. Many third-party scanning applications (like VueScan, which ships a native Apple Silicon build) can work with the MX870 as a fallback, though you may lose some of Canon's proprietary features.
