Actually you can turn all that off so it won't ask you. Most of Windows problems usually aren't because of the OS ..it is a third partpy problem. I am running Windows 10 and haven't had a single issue. Now my Windows pc is a Dell bought from the MS store so it has not bloat ware and only Windows10. Runs perfectly. A friend has the same laptop but bought it from another store and it is loaded with bloat ware. His always has issues.

I run Several different OS's on different machines. All have their own issues.

So the apples (mac) VS. sour grapes (PC) discussion continues. LOL
I sure hope the OP got the information needed to resolve the issue. I suspect in the end it will not be the mac as most others have suggested it would not be.

The Mac versus Windows pissing match never ends. Frankly from Windows XP on the Windows OS has been reliable. Lots of third party drivers and software, both certified and uncertified, have been crap so one encounters memory address errors, some BSOD's and peripheral that won't work but that is the nature of essentially open source development of peripheral drivers versus the Apple model which is not very open and certainly little leaks into the Apple Community that is not full vetted and certified by Apple. I don't blame the Windows OS for that but Microsoft's rather open policy leads to problems. However, if users implement strict UAC (like the default setting) and don't turn UAC off, you will not be able to download uncertified drivers.

I find more often than not on Windows machines that I work on, folks have turned off user access controls (UAC) and that's where they get into trouble or they just fail to run AVM software.

Believe me Macs suffer from virus, malware and other maladies as well. I know because I repair lots of them.

So the holier than thee banter gets a little old. Don't see it changing but that's my take for what it is worth. PS: I did address the OP's question with extensive instructions as to how to deal with the issue raised.

"Holier than thou" gets REEL(sp) old. Canon vs Nikon, (Sony, Pentax, etc.,) iOS vs WIN C:\ - can't we all just "get along" ? Strive to capture images? Chips just carry out given instructions. PEACE.

Point taken but what I find even more interesting is it DOES NOT MATTER THE SUBJECT. It is rare when a question is asked that different opinions do not emerge, and ah yes, the pissing matches ensue. I see it on other forums but here it is truly alive and well. :thumbup: After all we all want to think our way is the best and anyone that disagrees is an idiot. And in some cases one could argue that it is actually true. :mrgreen:
How about we all make a new year resolution to play nice in the sand box in 2016????

Never buy a driver, you gave your money to a con artist.

Generally there are 3 or 4 sources for a graphics driver.

Windows may include one, the graphics card maker e.g asus or the chipset maker e.g nvidia or amd or intel.

The fourth option is an open source driver but that generally tends to be helped or hindered by the chipset maker. usually only used by Linux or BSD operating systems.

That would be "good." Juvenile sandboxes are... tedious.
Happy New Year to all Hooggers.

The spinning color wheel is Apple version of the winders hour glass, which means that you processor is attempting to perform the task. I suspect that it may be a RAM problem, you machine is trying to send the photo to the printer to be printed.
First make sure you have the latest software up date for your Mac OS, to check this right click on the apple logo in the upper left hand corner of your browser you will get a drop down menu, click on "About this Mac" you will see software update, click on software update to make sure you OS has the latest updates.
If you are attempting to print from "Photo" there should not be a problem. I will add for several years Canon printers have had problems at time, when attempting to print, the Mac OS sends a message that some Canon printers as not connected. When you select print in "Photo" the printer menu should show the printer status in the "dock" allow with the other icons you can right click on that to see if what you are attempting to print is in the print que, the other print jobs you attempted to print may still be hung in the print que waiting to be printed, you should be able to view the documents awaiting to be printed.
Make sure you have the latest printer driver from Canon for your printer.
If your Mac has a small amount of RAM will mean you will see the the spinning wheel when you are attempting to perform tasks and don't have enough RAM.
As bcmink has said be sure that you printer shows in the printer list, and make sure that your printer is set as the default printer. If not select the printer your printer and add it as the default printer.
