is primarily designed as a Windows-only printer, and official macOS drivers are generally not available on the Canon Support portal. However, if you're determined to make it work, here is a "story" of how users often navigate this compatibility challenge. The Quest for the Mac Connection
The Direct Approach (Plug & Play): Start by connecting the printer via USB. Sometimes, Mac's built-in system can automatically identify and download a generic driver through System Settings > Printers & Scanners by clicking the "+" button.
The "Close Enough" Workaround: Since there isn't a dedicated G2410 driver for Mac, some users have found success by installing drivers for the PIXMA G4000 series, which shares similar architecture and does have macOS support. Click Select and then Download
