Are you a recent switcher from Windows?

You are unlikely to "mess up your [Mac] laptop" by installing Canon  
drivers for your all-in-one.

The worst drivers for a printer or scanner that I know of were  
drivers for HP printers.

These HP drivers caused slowdowns and spinning beachballs.  But even  
then you could easily fix the problem by simply uninstalling the HP  
drivers.

I haven't heard of any cases where users have installed Canon drivers  
and have experienced any problems at all.
