About This App

Canon MG8100 series is a device driver and utility application for Canon's multifunction inkjet printers of the MG8100 line (print, scan, copy, photo functions). ScanGear is Canon's scanner control interface bundled with the printer software, allowing users to scan documents and photos directly from macOS into image files or to cloud storage. The utility manages printer settings, firmware updates, and supplies monitoring. It is typically installed when users set up a Canon MG8100 printer on their Mac.

Very little public information is available about this app — based on the bundle ID it appears to be Canon's ScanGear scanner driver for the MG8100 printer model, but we could not confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or whether Canon continues to actively support drivers for this printer line. The MG8100 is an older inkjet model (originally released around 2010), and Canon has a mixed track record of updating drivers for legacy hardware. If you rely on this printer, contact Canon support directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build of the ScanGear driver for MG8100 is available, or whether your printer is supported at all on modern macOS versions. You should also ask about the September 2028 deadline for Rosetta 2 removal — an Intel-only driver will stop working on macOS 28. As a workaround in the meantime, many modern Canon multifunction printers (MG and imageCLASS lines) now support AirPrint and cloud scanning, which may reduce or eliminate your reliance on the proprietary ScanGear software.
