Procedures

1.
Open [System Settings] in macOS → click [Printers & Scanners] in the sidebar.
2.
Click [Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax].
3.
Select [IP] in the toolbar → select [Line Printer Daemon – LPD] from [Protocol].
4.
Enter the printer's IP address in [Address] → select [Select Software] from [Use].
If the driver corresponding to the printer is displayed in [Use], proceed to step 6..
NOTE
A message indicating that the IP address is incorrect may be displayed even if the correct IP address has been entered.
5.
Enter the number included in the model name of the printer in the search field → select the corresponding driver in the search results → click [OK].
For example, if the model name is "imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2030i", enter "2030" and select "Canon iR-ADV C2020i/2030i" (UFR II/UFRII LT/LIPSLX printer driver) or "Canon iR-ADV C2020i/2030i PS" (PS printer driver) in the search results.
NOTE
Select a driver with a name starting with "Canon".
If a driver matching the model name is not displayed in the search results, try the following:
Try removing the last digit. For example, if the model name is "MF542", enter "54", and select the driver that matches the model name with the last digit removed, such as "Canon MF540 Series" (UFR II/UFRII LT/LIPSLX printer driver) or "Canon MF540 Series PS" (PS printer driver), in the search results.
