Canon MX890 series
Canon MX890 series refers to a line of multifunction inkjet printers (printer, scanner, copier, fax) released by Canon in the early 2010s. The bundle identified here is a TWAIN scanner driver for macOS, which enables scanning functionality from the Canon MX890 and compatible Canon multifunction devices. This driver allows users to acquire images directly into compatible applications (like Preview, Photoshop, or document scanning software) without needing to use the printer's standalone scanner utility. TWAIN is a legacy scanning protocol that predates modern macOS scanner integration.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis bundle is a hardware scanner driver component for an older Canon printer model, not a standalone application. The MX890 series was released around 2012–2013 and Canon ceased new driver development for it several years ago. The TWAIN driver you have is almost certainly Intel-only and will cease to function when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you still use this Canon printer, contact Canon support to ask whether a native Apple Silicon TWAIN driver exists; if not, your scanning options will be limited to Canon's dedicated scanner utility (if a native version exists) or third-party scanning software that does not rely on TWAIN. As an alternative, consider upgrading to a newer Canon multifunction printer model that ships with modern native macOS drivers, or research third-party document scanners with verified Apple Silicon support. If you no longer actively use this printer, you can safely remove the driver from your system.
