printer driver

How can I see which printer driver I am using on my M1 iMac Venture?

I have Canon Pro-100 and I must avoid the AirPrint default driver as I am creating custom paper profiles and the AirPrint driver changes the colors when printing color charts.

iMac 24″, macOS 13.4

Can't select Airprint when setting up a new printer queue I've got a Canon ImageClass LBP214dw printer. I can see and print to it with my iPhone 11 and with an older MacBook Pro running macOS 12.4. When I add the printer to that MacBook Pro it automatically populates with the AirPrint print driver and everything works fine. Now with the newer MacBook Pro, I have macOS 12.4 on it. I installed the UFR II 10.19.11 Canon drivers from their site for the printer on the computer and now when I try to add that printer I get an error "Unable to communicate with the printer at this time." I am also not able to select the AirPrint print driver anymore on that computer. It seems to be missing from the list of selectable drivers! So if I select the LBP214 driver I get the previously listed error and the queue doesn't work. Does anyone have a suggestion for me to try or does anyone know of a way to get that AirPrint print driver available to select when adding a printer? Thanks in advance.

System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > click on your Printer > the driver version is the bottom box of the pop-up window

When you add a printer, you choose the driver. Remove and re-add the printer and name it to indicate which driver you used.
