For Mac
Connect the Printer: Connect your Canon printer to a power source and make sure it's turned on. Connect it to your Mac using a USB cable or through your Wi-Fi network.
Software Update (Optional): Sometimes, macOS automatically detects and installs the necessary drivers. If not, check for any available software updates for your Mac by going to the Apple menu > System Preferences > Software Update.

Additional Tips
Make sure your printer is compatible with your operating system version.
Ensure that your printer is turned on and connected properly before attempting to install the drivers.
Some Canon printers have their own setup software that guides you through the installation process. If available, you can use this software for easier setup.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install your Canon printer on both Windows and Mac computers. If you encounter any issues, refer to the printer's manual or contact Canon support for assistance.
Why isn't my computer finding the ij.start.canon I connected to it?
If your computer isn't finding ij.start.canon printer you connected, there could be several reasons for this:
Connection Issue
Ensure that the printer is properly connected to your computer via USB cable, or if it's a network printer, make sure it's connected to the same network as your computer.
Driver Installation
Make sure you've installed the necessary drivers for your Canon printer on your computer. You can usually find these drivers on the Canon website. Without the proper drivers, your computer won't recognize the printer.
Printer Visibility Settings
Check the printer settings to ensure that it's set to be discoverable on the network. If it's a wireless printer, it may have a setting that controls whether it broadcasts its presence on the network.
Restart Devices
Sometimes, simply restarting both your computer and the printer can resolve connectivity issues. Give it a try if you haven't already.
Firewall or Antivirus
Sometimes, firewall or antivirus software can block communication between your computer and the printer. Temporarily disable these software and try connecting again to see if it resolves the issue.
Hardware Issues
If none of the above steps work, there might be a hardware issue with either the printer or your computer's USB ports/network connection. Try connecting the printer to a different computer or connecting a different device to the same port/network to diagnose the issue.
