Contacted Canon with a similar issue for my Canon MX870 and they suggested the following (which worked for me):
Since there is no updated driver and software for your MX870, you can try downloading and installing the following Canon driver supplied by Apple. Since this is a third-party driver, Canon has not tested this and there's no assurance that it will work on your end.
Printer and scanner drivers for Mac (OS X Lion or later)
Canon Printer Software For Mac Os Mojave 10.14.6 E Mac Os Mojave 10 14 6 Update
Hi DaveZ, Canon does not have updated drivers or software that were developed for use with the PIXMA MP980 when used under the Mac OS Mojave (10.14) operating system; however, you can try downloading and installing the Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks versions of the drivers and software from the Canon USA website here to see if this will allow the printer to work with your operating system so that. Oct 22, 2018 Before my wife upgrades to Mojave, we decided to see if her HP Inkjet 6940 printer (bought in 2008!) would work with my 2017 iMac which already runs the new OS. I hooked it up and opened the Printers & Scanners pane. I immediate got a message asking me if I wanted to install the software for the HP printer. Windows: 14 Windows® 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows 7 SP1, Windows Vista SP1, Vista SP2, Windows XP SP3 32-bit 14 Mac: 15 Mac OS® X v10.6.8 - 10.9. Or on another continent. You will need to register your Canon PIXMA Wireless All-in-One printer before using this function. Peripheral equipment and software. Canon USA shall have no.
- Oct 25, 2019 A follow up - removing just the non-working printer and then restoring it did not fix the problem. My solution was to by a $40 Canon printer that I will only use for printing documents, not photos. I am hoping this will work with the newest Mac OS. If not, there is a two week return window.

Once installed, you can then use Image Capture to perform scanning.
1. Turn on or wake up your printer, but donÂ’t press any other buttons on it.
2. On your Mac, click on the Finder icon on your Dock.
3. Click on the Go menu, and then select Applications.
4. Locate and double click on Image Capture to open it.
5. On the left-hand side, youÂ’ll see two sections named Devices and Shared. Multifunction printers and scanners connected by USB cable will appear in the Devices section and networked or wireless devices will appear in the Shared section. (If your device isnÂ’t listed in either section, then it is not detected or itÂ’s likely not compatible with Image Capture.)
6. Click on your printer in either the Devices or Shared section to select it.
7. You might need to wait while your machine warms up.
8. Look at the picture below to see if your Image Capture looks similar. If not, click the Show Details button to expand the window so it looks like the image below. Click Scan.
