Canon Pixma G620 – Cannot install Canon driver and defaulting to Airprint

Hello all,

I have a Canon Pixma G620 and I am having trouble getting my Canon driver installed as my Mac keeps defaulting to Bonjour Multifunction/AirPrint, leaving me with little control over color for my printer.

I have researched this at length and tried a number of different things, including
1. Uninstalling previous drivers that defaulted to AirPrint and turning my printer off.
2. Freshly downloading the driver directly from the canon website here: https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/pixma-g620
3. Turning my computer on when prompted by the installer.
4. Going to Printers and Scanners -- Add Printer -- Use -- Select Software (I see no canon drivers as options, only "Canon G600 Series Bonjour Multifunction" outside of this menu.

I have repeated the steps above about 10 times. Uninstalling, reinstalling, freshly installing, etc etc etc, and my Mac still defaults to AirPrint. I have no use for AirPrint. I bought this printer for photo printing and need very intentional and specific control over colors.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ali

Greetings ,

What version and build of MAC OS are you using the printer with?

Can you confirm the connection method, USB, Wireless etc?
