Canon IJ Printer Utility is Canon's companion application for managing Canon inkjet printers on macOS. It provides access to printer maintenance features such as printhead cleaning, nozzle checks, and ink level monitoring, as well as printer status information and settings. The utility integrates with macOS's Printers & Scanners system and is typically launched through the printer's options panel in System Settings. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCanon has shipped a native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of IJ Printer Utility, so your existing Intel version running under Rosetta will see better performance and full compatibility on M-series Macs after updating. The simplest way to get the native build is to visit Canon's support website, locate your specific printer model, and download the latest macOS driver and utilities package for your printer. Canon typically bundles the IJ Printer Utility with the main printer driver, so downloading the current driver package will include the native version. Alternatively, if you have the Canon printer already set up in macOS Printers & Scanners, you can access the utility through System Settings → Printers & Scanners, select your Canon printer, and use the Options & Utilities or Supplies buttons to launch or update the utility directly. After updating, your printer settings and preferences will carry over without any manual migration.
