The correct driver ensures seamless communication between your Mac and the printer via USB or a network (if set up).

Connecting the Printer

  • Wi-Fi connection: If you want wireless printing, first connect the G3410 to your Wi‑Fi network using the printer’s front panel (Wi‑Fi setup wizard). Then, on your Mac, go to System Settings > Printers & Scanners > Add Printer. Select the G3410 from the list (look for “Bonjour” or “AirPrint” entry). Use the driver named Canon PIXMA G3410 series CUPS.

Q: Can I install the driver without an internet connection?

A: Yes, if you download the .dmg file on another computer and transfer it via USB drive. However, the installer may still require an internet check for certificate verification.
