The $89 Canon LiDE 400 scanner is supported via a USB connection by Apple's built-in AirPrint facility in macOS Sonoma and Sequoia (any version). No Canon drivers or software are required. Image Capture or the optional paid VueScan Professional will detect and scan with this device.


This scanner has the older USB-A connector and you will likely require a USB-C to USB-A adapter cable or comparable dongle.


Do not install anything from the included Canon DVD.

If the Epson ET-2850 connected to your local Wi-Fi network.

Then it should have worked for both printing and scanning.

What model is your current HP Printer/Scanner..?

Is the HD connected to your local Wi-Fi network or cabled directly to the iMac..?
