Canon MP520 Printer Driver for Big Sur v11
I have a Canon MP520 printer. When I try to install it says no drivers are available. I'm running a MacBook Pro M1. Is there a driver I can use or some kind of generic driver?

That just didn't seem right to me. Go here and change the OS to Big Sur v11 and click the red Software button:
Support | MP Series | PIXMA MP520 | Canon USA
There IS printer software available for Big Sur. Have you installed it? Image Garden v 3.6.5 (Mac) dated 12/4/20.
Not sure what the Image Garden software does but it's available and may be worth trying. If it's an image handling package, it likely won't help. But is seems odd to me there would be any software at all if Big Sur were not supported.

There may well be no drivers, but before you accept that visit the Canon site to confirm. If no drivers per se, there may be Big Sur specific/compatible software.
I went to the Canon site first to check for drivers. Their site says none available. It may be the MP520 isn't supported any longer.
