I'd like some drivers for printer. Is Canon site safe to download them as self-installed trojans are Mac's worst nightmare and I have no real time scanner to detect if something comes in.
Google gives me both sites, but is there any difference?
I just find it weird one is canon.com while other canon-europe.com – if it is same company, shouldn't it be europe.canon.com…
Not sure what to trust or to trust either at all.
And connecting printer to Mac will not offer download so I need this…

You can check the signature/authenticity of a downloaded package installer (*.pkg) quickly yourself - independent of the shabby look of a website:
Open Terminal and enter
pkgutil --check-signature
. Then open the downloaded dmg image and drop the pkg onto the Terminal window and hit the enter key:You get a more OS X GUI like approach by simply clicking the lock in the upper left after opening the pkg with Installer.app:
