 2.  In the Run window, please type CONTROL PANEL and click OK.

 

 3.  Click on View devices and printers (or Devices and printers, depending on your view).

 

 4.  Right click the Canon MG2500 series and left click on Remove device.  Repeat until all MG2500's are removed.

 7.  Click on the Driver tab.

 

 8.  Click on the MG2500 in the list.  Click the Remove button at the bottom.

 

 9.  Choose Remove driver and driver package and click OK.

 

10.  Click Yes and then Delete.

 

11.  Repeat until all MG2500s are removed from the list.

I have purchased exact same model replacement for MG2500 which developed OS10. a hardware problem.. MACBook Air OS10.12.8  has the software installed for the old one;  and that was working fine.   Can I just set up new printer without uninstalling  old software in the harddrive?  And just choose new printer in preferences. 

Greetings,

My recommendation, download the software for Mac OS Sierra.

 

Remove the printer from System Preferences > Printers and Scanners, use the minus button "(-)"

 

Drand the Printers software fro jthe Appliucations folder to the trash.

 

Restart your MAC

 

Run the installer, follow the directions and install the replacement device.
