Cannon Mx512 Printer

How do I change from PC to my IMac computer? I have tried all I can figure out and need assistance. When I go to set up I tried all possible items and still cannot move it from pc to iMac. It seems if the computer is turned off it reverts back to pc mode. Hope you can help I am getting frustrated.
