I have a PIXMA MP 470 printer that will run tests from itself for ink supplies and performance, but once I try to print from my Mac OS X El Capitan, the computer asks me to find a driver. No luck contacting canon after following their prompts to find out it is soley handled online, before their sys. Note: Printer Setup Utility varies depending on the Mac OS X version. When your Mac OS X version is older than Ver. 10.3.x, double-click Print Center. The image is an example using Mac OS X Ver. In the Printer List dialog, select all the printers added to the Printer List and then click 'Delete'. Printer/Multifunction Support: Canon MP470 and El Capitain. I cannot print to my Canon MP470 since installing Mac OS El Capitain. I looked at downloading an.
Photo print speeds are based on the standard mode driver setting using photo test pattern(s) and select Canon Photo Paper. Print speed measured as soon as first page begins to feed into printer and will vary depending on system configuration, interface, software, document complexity, print mode, types of paper used and page coverage.

Since you have tried a number of other drivers then you may have too much on your Mac that could be causing conflicts. I would navigate to the Mac HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter and trash everything in this folder.
I would also navigate to Mac HD/Library/Receipts and trash the packages named Canon MPxxx.pkg.
If you can then empty the trash this may be helpful.
Then unplug the MP470 USB cable from your Mac and download the driver via the link above. Then mount the disk image and run the installer. This will add the necessary files back onto your Mac.
Restart the Mac and once running again, reconnect the MP470 USB cable to your Mac. The driver software should automatically add the 470 as a printer. Check by opening Print & Fax. If it is not listed, select to Add and choose the Default view. Select the MP470 and watch the Print using menu. It should change to Canon IJ Printer. Note that if it doesn't do this automatically you cannot manually select it. The driver has to find the printer.
Note also that when you select the printer in the default view you may get a message saying that the printer is already installed. Cancel the adding of the printer if this happens. When the Add pane switches back to the printer list you will probably see the 470 - it can take a while for the printer to add automatically to the list.
If the printer still does not work after doing the above then please reply.
Re the ScanGear, this is for scanning from the machine so it is handy having the file but not needed for printing.
