Canon MG5300 series Network
Canon MG5300 series Network is a scanner driver and utility software for Canon's PIXMA MG5300 series all-in-one printers when connected over a network. This software enables Mac users to scan documents and photos from their Canon MG5300 printer to their computer via Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. It includes the ScanGear scanning interface which provides options for adjusting scan quality, resolution, and file formats. The software is typically installed alongside Canon's printer drivers and is essential for full scanner functionality on macOS.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionThis Canon scanner software appears to be legacy Intel-only software for an older printer model (MG5300 series). Canon has not updated this specific driver package for Apple Silicon compatibility, and given the age of the MG5300 series printers, it's unlikely they will release a native version. However, macOS includes built-in scanning support through the Image Capture app and Preview app that can often work with Canon printers over the network without requiring Canon's proprietary software. Try using Image Capture or Preview's Import from Scanner feature first. If those don't provide the advanced scanning controls you need, consider VueScan, a third-party scanning application that offers native Apple Silicon support and works with many Canon printers including older models.
