The Canon IJ Printer Utility for a Mac® allows you to perform printer maintenance or change the settings of the printer. This article shows you how to open the IJ Printer Utility screen.
These steps are for a Mac. Learn how to open the Canon IJ Utility for Windows.
The steps here are for printers with CUPS printer drivers (such as the PIXMA MG7720 or the MAXIFY MB5420). If you have a printer that uses AirPrint (such as the PIXMA TS8220), you will need to access the Remote UI to perform maintenance operations from your computer.
