Attempting to use Canon iP4300 Pixma printer on iMac running Catalina

[PowerPC1995]

Canon stopped updated their drivers for catalina and beyond. I have this nice photo printer and it is not recognizable on my iMac. The latest downloadable driver from Canon is the version before Catalina.

Is there a hack or workaround I can use to use this printer?

Thank you.

You might be out of luck. You might also be able to make it work without the drivers by using a different print protocol. Here is something I found that may or may not help you.

Looks like there's a CUPS driver for it.

I found a cable online that will connect an iphone to a printer. Is that a good idea? I don't want to short out my phone.
