Canon MX870 series
Canon MX870 series is the scanner driver software for Canon Pixma MX870 multifunction printers. It enables macOS users to scan documents and photos from their MX870 printer to their Mac, with features including automatic document feeders, multi-page scanning, image preview, and basic editing tools. The driver is typically installed as part of Canon's printer setup and integrates with standard macOS scanning applications and image editors.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe Canon MX870 series scanner driver appears to be legacy software with no recent development — the latest identified version is 16.10.0.0, released several years ago, and there is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build being available. Canon has largely moved support for older multifunction models to their cloud-based web interface and mobile apps rather than maintaining desktop drivers. If you still rely on this scanner, contact Canon Support directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, since the Intel-only driver will stop launching on that release. In the meantime, you may be able to scan using the MX870's web interface or Canon's cloud app, though these offer fewer local control options than the desktop driver. For a longer-term solution, consider upgrading to a current Canon or third-party multifunction printer model, many of which ship with modern native macOS drivers and cloud integration out of the box.
