To troubleshoot the connection issue between your Canon printer and MacBook Pro using the CalDigit TS4 USB-A connection:
1. Connect the printer directly to the MacBook Pro (bypassing the dock) to check if it works. 2. Ensure the latest macOS updates are installed. 3. Check if the Canon printer is supported on macOS 13.3. 4. If the printer is too old and no longer supported by Canon, scanner features may not work even if printing does. 5. Try using AirPrint if the printer supports it. 6. If scanning is essential, consider replacing the printer with a newer model compatible with macOS.
16. What is the maximum laptop charging capability of the TS4? 17. If my laptop charges at less than 98W does the TS4 scale down the charging? 18. If I am using a computer that doesn’t require power from a dock, such as the M1 Mac mini, does the TS4 still supply power? 19.

17. If my laptop charges at less than 98W does the TS4 scale down the charging? Yes, if your laptop charges at less than 98W, the TS4 will only supply the amount of power your laptop requires. For example, if you are using the 13” M1 MacBook Pro which charges at 61W, the TS4 will only supply 61W.
