Canon MP280 series
Canon MP280 series is a scanning and document capture utility bundled with Canon's MP280 multifunction printers. It provides driver support and a scanning interface for Canon MP280 series devices, allowing users to acquire images directly from the printer to their Mac. The app is typically installed as part of the printer driver package and may also function as a system component supporting printer communication.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not locate definitive information about whether Canon has released a native Apple Silicon build of the MP280 driver and scanning utility. This app appears to be a peripheral device driver, and driver updates are typically handled differently than consumer software — check Canon's official support page for your MP280 model to see whether a native macOS build is available. If Canon has not yet updated the driver for Apple Silicon, note that the Intel version will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). Contact Canon support directly with your printer model number to confirm their driver roadmap, and ask specifically whether a native build is planned. In the meantime, if you have alternative ways to scan (mobile app, network scanning to a NAS, or a multifunction printer with better driver support), consider those as contingency options.
