Software update for PIXMA MX532 macOS 27 Golden Gate

Will Canon be updating the software for the Pixma MX532 to be compatible with MacOS 27 Golden Gate?  If the do not is the only alternative to buy a new printer to replace the perfectly good Canon printer I have now?

Remember that the decision to update to macOS 27 is your decision. It is always possible that older equipment may not be compatible with a newer OS (macOS or Windows). As an end user you need to evaluate the benefits of an OS update (and possible loss of function for some equipment) versus keeping functioning equipment without the latest OS update.

I understand that and have turned off automatic update so I can control if I update.  This problem will not only affect my Canon printer as there are several other applications which will be affected.  I guess this is  just a cost of going with the Apple ecosystem.

@robin1943 ,

Yes it is.  Getting 12 years from a printer is pretty good.  It's possible the MF and ICA driver available for Tahoe could work with Golden Gate.  As my colleagues suggested, you'll just have to evaluate the decision to upgrade.  If Canon does provide a driver, it probably won't be for several months after the OS is officially released.  One thing I rarely see a lot of people mention are backups.  Use time machine and make a backup so that you're not left without a functioning printer.  This way you can upgrade, test your printer and other applications before fully committing.
