Canon MG3100 series Network
Canon MG3100 series Network is a TWAIN scanner driver and utility software for Canon MG3100 multifunction printers connected via network. It enables macOS to recognize and communicate with the MG3100 scanner component over Ethernet or WiFi, allowing users to scan documents and photos directly to the Mac. The software is part of Canon's driver suite for this aging all-in-one printer model and is typically used by home and small office users who need scanning functionality alongside their network-connected Canon printer.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent public information about whether Canon has released a native Apple Silicon build of the MG3100 series Network driver. The MG3100 is an older Canon printer model, and the driver may no longer receive active development. Contact Canon support directly to ask whether a native macOS driver for your MG3100 exists, and specifically whether it supports Apple Silicon Macs. If Canon confirms they have not released a native build and do not plan to, you will need to plan a hardware transition before macOS 28 ships in late 2027, as this Intel-only driver will stop working on that release. Consider checking Canon's current multifunction printer line for models with confirmed Apple Silicon driver support, or exploring a third-party scanning solution like VueScan (which offers native Apple Silicon support) as a contingency.
