I've upgraded my Mac to MacOS 11.0.1 Big Sur and now I can no longer print or scan from my printer, PIXMA MP470. I went to the Canon download page, and it says "There is no software for the OS Version you selected.". Will the drivers and software be available?

Greetings,
Thats hard to say. The printer is 6+ yrs old. No drivers for W10 were released either.
MAC only has drivers for OS 10.9 Mavericks.
Because of that, Its unlikely you will see drivers for Big Sur.

The Mavericks driver worked up to and including Catalina. But doesn't work with Big Sur. I really hope Canon supplies a new driver. I dion't want to have to buy a new printer just because I upgraded my operating system.

Thanks ... moving to a different brand I guess.
This is shameful ... there is not a single thing wrong with my printer. It's been great!
I have to go buy a new printer bc they don't WANT to write an update so Macs can print.
See ya!

Thank you

I was able to get this to function with a workaround using the Gutenprint driver. '
Running MacOS Big Sur v11.4. Tested and printed fine.
