Canon MP980 series Network
Canon MP980 series Network is a TWAIN scanner driver and scanning utility for the Canon imageFORMATTA MP980 all-in-one printer, which is a multifunction device combining printing, scanning, copying and faxing.

AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCanon MP980 is a legacy printer model from the mid-to-late 2000s, and Canon has long since ceased development and support for it. The bundle ID indicates this is a TWAIN scanner driver built for Intel architecture, and there is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon version. The Intel build currently runs under Rosetta 2, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), after which this driver will no longer function. If you still rely on this Canon hardware for scanning, you have about two years to plan a migration. Check Canon's support website to confirm whether any newer universal drivers exist for your printer model, or consider upgrading to a newer Canon multifunction device that includes current native drivers. If you have a small number of documents to digitise before moving on, you may also explore document scanning apps from the Mac App Store or investigate whether your scanning workflow could move to a newer, Apple Silicon-native multifunction printer from Canon or another vendor.
