If your business changes printers or you need to reinstall your existing Canon printer on a Mac, you must first uninstall the current Canon drivers. If you have unused printer drivers on your system, employees may not know which printer to use, resulting in both lost documents and productivity. Uninstalling the Canon driver from your Mac completely removes the printer from the system, preventing confusion when choosing the correct printer. Avoid having a list of useless printers on your computer by making sure only the correct drivers are installed and functioning.
It's not unusual for a small business to use multiple printers, each of which requires a different driver for the computer to communicate with the printer. If your business uses Mac computers, the drivers remain on the computer, even if the printer is no longer in use and disconnected. You can remove the printer from the computer's printer list, eliminating the confusion and clutter of extra printers on the list.
The printer driver is not deleted when you remove the printer from the list; it continues to take up space on your hard drive. You need to manually remove the printer driver.
