Well, its not Interestingly, the High Sierra iMAC correctly identified the MX860 (connected with USB cable) even without any installed drivers.

Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, dont do it.

When I connect the USB cable and go to printer preferences, the iMAC recognizes the printer correctly as an MX860.

But under choose a driver it says the driver is not available from Apple and to contact the manufacturer.

Unfortunately, when I go to the Canon support pages for the MX860 it says there is no driver available, or you may not need a driver.

With no driver, though, the iMAC wont let me add the printer.

Am I just out of luck Or is there some generic driver I can get somewhere I hate to give this printer up because its excellent, IMHO.

In the Windows world, Canon has not produced a driver for Windows 10; drivers top out a Windows 8.

I think Canon would rather see us by new Canon printers so has basically stopped supporting the MX 860.

Canon Mx860 Download The Yosemite

It worked The original CD is long lost, but I did download the Yosemite drivers.

Not quite sure about the scanner, yet, but thats just a bonus anyway.

Youll see the detected OS and also links for software, firmware, and utilities.

I printed off a test page and a random pdf file and everything seems to work just as it should.

Can the scanner be use for its intended purpose when connect to the computer.

It did actually install at least it said it did and Ive got a scanner icon in the upper right of the monitor.

But when I tried to scan it told me I had to scan using the control panel on the MX860.

I scan enough to want the scanner, but not enough to make having to use the control panel an issue.

It works well in Linux; it probably would work well on the iMac.

You can try it free before buying it.

The free version has a watermark in the scanned image.).

Canon Mx860 Windows 7 Or Windows

The Windows 7 or Windows 8 drivers should function in the Windows 10 environment with some limitations which are currently unknown to Canon.

If you still have issues, let me know, and I can dig up the instructions.

So far the MX860 Series CUPS Printer Driver I downloaded from the Canon support site is working fine.

According to that website, Yosemite is the last OS version that has any downloadable drivers.
