CpDesktop
CpDesktop is Canon's desktop utility software for managing Canon printers and multifunction devices. It provides functionality for printer status monitoring, driver management, print queue control, and access to Canon's online support resources. The app is typically bundled with Canon printer drivers and is used by home and small-office users to configure and troubleshoot Canon devices from their Mac.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not locate current information about CpDesktop's Apple Silicon support status in our search results, and the app does not appear to have a widely documented public presence. Contact Canon directly or visit Canon's support website to determine whether a native Apple Silicon build of CpDesktop is available or planned. If you rely on this app to manage a Canon printer, ask Canon specifically whether the current or upcoming version supports native arm64 architecture, since an Intel-only build will stop launching when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027). As an alternative, check whether Canon's newer imagePROGRAF PRO or imageRUNNER ADVANCE series include updated native companion software, or whether your printer's basic functionality (printing, scanning) works through macOS's standard printer drivers without needing CpDesktop at all — many recent Canon devices operate adequately through system preferences alone.
