CIJScannerRegister
CIJScannerRegister is a background service application developed by Canon that automatically detects and registers Canon printers and scanners on the local network. The app runs continuously in the background, broadcasting UDP packets on port 8612 to discover compatible Canon devices like MAXIFY and other Canon printer series. It's part of Canon's printer driver suite and enables seamless network printing and scanning functionality by maintaining a registry of available devices. While essential for Canon printer users who need automatic device discovery, some users have reported it can cause system instability or unwanted network traffic, leading them to disable or remove it when not actively using Canon devices.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the search results, this appears to be legacy Canon software that may cause system stability issues and unwanted network traffic. No Apple Silicon native version or direct alternative was found in the search results. Since this is a background utility that many users find problematic rather than essential, the best recommendation is to uninstall it completely if you don't actively use Canon scanners or printers. Canon's newer driver packages for Apple Silicon Macs likely include updated versions of their device detection utilities. Check Canon's official support website for the latest drivers compatible with your specific Canon device and macOS version.
