Canon IJScanner2
Canon IJScanner2 is a scanning driver application that enables Mac users to scan documents and images from Canon multifunction printers and scanners through the built-in Image Capture utility. It's typically installed automatically when setting up Canon printer/scanner devices and appears in the Image Capture app's device list. The app works behind the scenes to provide the necessary communication between macOS and Canon scanning hardware. Most users interact with it indirectly through Image Capture rather than launching it directly.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionCanon IJScanner2 appears to be a legacy driver component that hasn't been updated for Apple Silicon compatibility. Canon has largely moved away from these separate scanner apps in favor of integrated drivers within their main printer software packages. For current Canon multifunction devices, you should download and install the latest Canon printer drivers from Canon's official support website, which typically include native Apple Silicon scanning functionality. If you have an older Canon scanner, you may need to rely on the built-in macOS scanning capabilities or consider using a third-party scanning app like VueScan, which offers native Apple Silicon support and works with a wide range of Canon scanners.
