Extended Survey Program
Extended Survey Program is Canon's customer feedback and product improvement software that comes bundled with Canon inkjet printers. This utility runs in the background and periodically collects usage data and user feedback to help Canon improve their printer drivers and software. The program typically appears as part of Canon's printer software installation and may send anonymous usage statistics back to Canon for product development purposes. Most users encounter this as an automatically installed component when setting up their Canon inkjet printer on macOS.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionThis Canon utility appears to be discontinued or no longer actively maintained for modern macOS versions. Since this is primarily a data collection tool for Canon's internal use rather than essential printer functionality, you can likely uninstall it without affecting your printer's core operations. Your Canon printer should continue to work normally through macOS's built-in printing system or Canon's main printer drivers. If you need Canon printer software, download the latest macOS-compatible drivers directly from Canon's support website for your specific printer model, which should include Apple Silicon support for newer printers.
