Installing MacOS 10.8 printer driver on MacOS 10.13 High Sierra? I wanted to print from my work MacBook (MacOS 10.13 High Sierra) to my old Canon Pixma IP4300 printer at home, but when I connect them I'm told to look for drivers on the manufacturer's website. However, the latest available driver is a "CUPS" driver for MacOS 10.8 Mountain Lion, dated september 2017.  

Would it be wise to try to install this 10.8 driver on a 10.13 system, and is that even possible at all? I'd like to avoid messing up the system's printer settings and running into trouble when printing at work.

ps: I know about Gutenprint, but I'd like to avoid installing something like that on my work laptop if possible.
Have you tried one of the built-in MacOS drivers?
What about removing the printer and re-installing it to see if the Mac can identify it?

Otherwise I'd contact Canon support or check around for some forums to see if they have a work around since that printer needs specific troubleshooting and MacOS isn't identifying it for you.
