MF6530 iPhone Connection

Elleoohooh — Sun, 22 Jun 2025 14:18:11 GMT

I was successful downloading the Canon MF6530 to my MacAir and I am able to print using a USB-C to USB-B hub. I’d like to do the same for my AirPad (able to download printer files, but not able to print anything using a lightning to usb converter to attach to the printer cable.). Also for my iPhone 14 and 16e. I was not able to find a way to load the printer driver, nor print. Please offer advice. Thank you!

Thanks for letting us know what Canon product you've got. The imageCLASS MF6530 is an older model which we have retired. While that means that Canon USA no longer offers direct support for it, your friends here in the Canon Community are welcome to offer suggestions!

You can also speak with a Canon Upgrade Program specialist to help you score a modern replacement that would meet your current needs at a discount. You can reach them Monday through Friday at 1-866-443-8002.

Hope this helps!

iOS devices don’t support USB printing like Macs. Since MF6530 isn’t AirPrint-compatible, try the Canon PRINT Business app or connect the printer to a network. USB via Lightning won’t work.
