I'm running MAC OS 10.13.1. I followed your protocol below. When I attempt to open MP Navigator EX 5.0 I get a window that says

1. The supported model of this software is as follows. Check your product model is listed.

Canon MG6200 series
Canon MG4100 series
Canon E500 series
Canon MG8200 series
Canon MG3100 series
Canon MG2100 series
Canon MG5300 series

When your product model is not listed, install correspondent MP Navigator or MP Navigator EX.

I attempted EX 4.05 and this didn't work either.

Please help

I REALLY don't want to buy another printer (I own two Canon printers already and it seems that everytime I upgrade my OS MP Navigator no longer works).
