Canon describes G3000 MP Drivers on the G3501 support page as printing and scanning software with IJ Scan Utility. This MP Drivers archive entry appears in both task filters. Its broad OS label and installer bytes have not been validated against the current Canon download. Manufacturer package description
Read the full model name on the printer label. It should match PIXMA G3501 exactly; printers with similar names can need different software.
On Canon's support site, choose your operating system version. Pick the full software package for a first-time setup, or just the printer driver if the printer already works with another computer.
Follow the installer prompts for USB or Wi-Fi. For USB, connect the cable only when the installer asks. For Wi-Fi, keep the printer and computer on the same network.
Print a test page from your system printer settings. To check scanning, open the scanner software and run a preview scan; printing and scanning are installed separately.
Check the connection first. For USB, try another port and cable. For Wi-Fi, make sure the printer shows a network connection on its panel and that your computer is on the same network, then run the installer again.
Turn the printer off and on, then remove and re-add it in your system printer settings. On Wi-Fi, a changed router or IP address is a common cause.
Check Canon's support site for your exact system version. Newer versions of Windows and macOS often include a built-in driver for older printers, so try adding the printer in system settings first.
Scanning needs its own scanner driver or scan app. Install the scanner package for your system, then select this printer inside the scan software.

The current Canon Europe G3501 page separates a G3000 series Full Driver & Software Package from MP Drivers. The MP Drivers description includes printing, scanning and IJ Scan Utility; XPS and security-patch downloads appear as distinct products.
Choose a full setup package or the specific component you need for the selected system. A patch or XPS-only download is not interchangeable with MP Drivers. Confirm requirements on the current download detail before opening an archived file.
