Adding old scanner where Image Capture will see it

I have an CanoScan N1220U flatbed scanner. Canon does not have driver software for this scanner for Intel Macs. I have downloaded a plugin for the scanner that was written for Power PC system X Macs, and I've put it in Photoshop's plugins folder. I can use it to scan with Photoshop provided I run PS in Rosetta mode. Is there some place in the system where I can put another copy of that driver (it's not a TWAIN driver) so that Image Capture will see it and use it? If so, will I have to run Image Capture in Rosetta mode, or can it automatically deal with parts in Rosetta mode, as some programs allegedly can?

Your 1220 was designed when the Mac was system 7, running at 40 Mhz. and a large hard drive was anything over 150 MB. If you are scanning paper, buy a new epson all in one. I trashed my D660U canoscan because it took forever with very limited internal memory. can you spell recycle?

Added a scanner with Secure Easy Setup and my wireless network has disappeared?

I just replaced my fax/scanner. I have a secured wireless home network. I installed the fax/scanner with Secure Easy Setup. The fax works - but my home network as disappeared!!! Where did it go? Do I have to start over and reinstall my whole wireless network? It took me forever to get it working the first time! HELP!!!

when u run easilink again it will give you the chance to change some settings wirelessly, it could be that you have changed some settings and missed that part...
you could check that by accessing the set up page of the router 192.168.1.1

Problems adding the scanner of a cannon 1370

i just add a printer/fax/scanner, its a cannon image class 1370, but can't use the scanner, and i really don't know what else to do, download a driver didn't work... please help.

I presume the canon is connected to an apple router since this is the forum area for routers not print and scan problems.. How is it connected and to what??
This is a network device and should NOT be used by USB.. scanning will not work over network to the USB. You must have it plugged in by ethernet.
If it is plugged in and you have the correct drivers downloaded for your OS.. then you will need to check with Canon for the issue. Scanning over networks is not easy and often impossible.. you might find limitations with drivers etc. But it has nothing to do with the apple router in this case.. although I would check that by making sure the computer is plugged in by ethernet to the same router.

Adding a scanner to PSE 11

I have purchased a new all-in-one How do I add it to PSE 11 so I can scan from it? Although I've made it my default device in the Windows 7 control panel, PSE is still only showing the old one.

What model printer?
Go to the manufacturer's website and download and install the latest printer drivers for it.

Help with Canon MX870 - scanner stopped working

Hi,
I bought a Canon Pixma MX870 printer/scanner a month or so ago and it was working fine up till this week. I had installed the Canon software and ran the OS X Software updpate when setting it up.
All of a sudden last week I couldn't print. It kept saying the printer couldn't be found. So I downloaded the Apple Canon printer software and reinstalled it thinking it couldn't do any harm. The printer is working again. The scanner not so much. If I do manage to get it to work (either by using the scanner from System preference > Print/Fax > and choosing open scanner or by using the MP Navigator it typically now will only work 1 time. After that it says "scanner not found" and sometimes if I close and reopen the scanner from Print/Fax it says "trying to open scanner session".
I know the MX870 is connected to the network. The blue wifi light is lit, it shows in the router's list of connected devicies, it also shows in Safari's list of Bonjour Devices.
I need this machine to scan and play nice with OS X - I need to scan more than print.
I ran Disk Warrior, ran chrons to do maintenance and fix permissions etc. I tried deleting and re- adding the scanner. That didn't work and I had to restore it from backup.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do next?
Thank you.

However, I went to take a screenshot and something very weird happened. It popped up a dialog box where the scanner was checked as shown in your screenshot with an 80.????? IP address (the ? are because I don't recall)
The 80 number would have been the MX870 wifi network address - not the IP address. The scanner selector tool does not show the device IP address, only the network address.
...asking if "Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector 2" could accept incoming connections from the network and there was a 3rd choice listing the scanner as "Canon MX870 series_3DXXXXX (where I am putting in Xs because I suspect it is a serial number).
Based on this I would guess that the firewall is enabled on your Mac and the prompt is to add an exception to for the networked MX870 (and the X's are the last digits of the wifi network address shown in the selector tool) so that communication can flow between both devices.

Hp f380 scanner doesn't work for normal user

I have a problem concerning my scanner. It works well (after few issues after the upgrade of hplip) under root, yet it does not work under user. It would work for half a year but after one of lasts upgrades it does not any more. My user is added to scanner group of course.

simple. I got similar issues with my cx3900 all-in-one.
What I did is to create a udev rule to force the related devices to be owned to specific group.
For instance
/etc/udev/rules.d/goddamned_scanner.rules
ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="Vendor", ATTRS{idProduct}=="Product", MODE:="0660", GROUP:="scanner"
Note the ':=' on the GROUP and MODE field.
replace Vendor and Product by the information supplied by the output of lsusb (vendor:product) and reload the udev ruleset with:
udevadm command --reload-rules

Adobe Acrobat 10.1.12 Crashes Immediately after PDF from Scanner Scan Completes

I am not able to successfully save a PDF from Acrobat because it crashes immediately after I scan the document and I don't get to save the scanned document. I am running Windows 7 Pro x64 and my scanner is a Fujitsu fi-6130 with TWAINx64 drivers. I have uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat as well as removed the scanner and deleted the drivers and then added the scanner again. None of those have fixed the issue and I have read other support posts on the forums but none have been resolved. I need help ASAP as I don't want to throw money away by not using this powerful software.

Stop responding is different from a crash. A crash would generate some info in the Event Logs.
A hang is more difficult to diagnose. If I were experiencing the same problem, I would try to use Process Monitor; it could give me some info what exactly hangs (or what it is waiting for). But it may generate ten thousands of lines to analyze.

Brother DCP-150C - Scanner not working

Hi!
I am trying to make my scanner scan but it just doesnt work...It isn't found.
This is what i did:
- Downloaded these files:
brscan-skey-0.2.1-1.i386.rpm
brscan2-0.2.4-0.i386.rpm
dcp150ccupswrapper-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
dcp150clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
(Which is scanner and printer-drivers)
- Extracted them with rpmextract so i got a subfolder "usr" which i copied to /
Now: Printer is working flawlessly, only the scanner makes problems.
Here's the output of sane-find-scanner:
sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x01cf) at libusb:002:002
but:
scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
(as root)
I have tried to use the brother-program "brsaneconfig2" by adding my Scanner to it, but it didnt have any use.
What am i doing wrong? I can't think of anything more to do, it's frustrating. Damn binary drivers
Thanks in advance,
Hauke

Mountain Lion Image Capture won't recognize my Canon MP600 Scanner

I'm not sure when it happened as I don't use my scanner all that much but at some point in the last month or so Image Capture can'is no longer able to see my scanner. It's a multi function Canon MP600 printer/scanner. I can still print but no go on scanning. I checked out the Canon site for drivers/updates but there are none. System Report sees the MP600 and like I said, I can print just not scan. I'm running 10.8.2.
Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.
Joe

This might have been my fix, too. I did as this instructed; however, after installing v.2.11 from Apple's site and deleting the printer, then adding it back again (I also unplugged and replugged the printer), nothing changed.
I then did as "noseyp" below suggested and at the Canon site added the scanner driver for Mac OS 10.7. That process (after I bypassed my security roadblock), required a computer restart.
So was is it v.2.11 installation (plus the restart) that made the difference? Or was it the 10.7 scanner driver? I won't know.
I'd suggest to anyone to do as "legendarybc" suggested, but then do restart your computer. If that doesn't work, then add the 10.7 scanner driver from:

Epson Perfection 1650 Scanner won't work with 10.7.5, help?

I am trying to use my EPSON PERFECTION 1650 scanner with my MacBook Pro, software version 10.7.5. The old driver does not work with Lion. I ran software update, with the scanner connected, and it did not come up with any new Epson software to install. Can anyone help me locate this driver? When I googled Epson driver for this operating system, it says I have to run software update on the Apple and it will automatically come up. But I have had no luck. Someone help please? Thanks, Chris

Hi,
As listed on Epson's site the drivers are available via Apple Software Update.
Ensure the scanner is powered on and directly connected to your Mac, then try following the steps below:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=14551&BV_UseBVCooki e=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=OSF_M_X7
Now try opening the Image Capture application within the Applications folder and check if your scanner appears.
If the scanner cannot be located yet try restarting your Ma and check for any difference.
If the same still persists try resetting the printing system, then try adding the scanner again as listed on Epson's site.
You may reset the printing system as following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11143
Finally, if you still having issue getting the drivers from ASU try installing the package below and try scanning from Image Capture again:

My epson Perfection V330 scanner won't work with mavericks

I updated to Mavericks and now my Esson scanner won't work. I found a download for a driver on the Epson site but it doesn't seem to want to download - either that or it's taking hours to download.

Epson Perfection Scanner v700 stopped working on iMac 10.9.2

I used to be able to use the scanner with the EPSONScan.app software. Now, I get an error message "Cannot Communicate with Scanner". I have unistalled the scanner software and drivers and removed it from System Preferences then reloaded Epson SW from Epson web site but still get error message. I have also uninstalled the Epson SW, deleted the scanner and then added the scanner back without installing the Epson SW. The iMac recognizes the scanner and I am able to use the scanner with ImageScan but it is far from the functionality I need that EpsonScan has. I have also tested the scanner by loading the Epson SW and scanner to my PC laptop and it works fine. Strange thing is it use to work on my Mac and Epson support says that the latest SW is supported for 10.9.2 but I cannot get it to work.

Download http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 and if that doesn't work, then download Epson's 10.9 drivers again.
Note: many scanner software require you to drag the marquee over the virtual scanner image on your screen before you can begin the scan. This gives it an idea of how big an area to scan. Without dragging the marquee box over the area you want to scan, the scan button may not solidify in black.

Canon PIXMA MX860 error message ScanGear

When I click on my Scanner (I put MP Navigator EX in my Dock), the application opens, but then a window opens that states:
ScanGear Searching for Scanners
Do you want the application "MP Navigator EX 2.1 app" to accept incoming connections?
I have to then click "Allow"
Setting can be changed in the Firewall panel of Security & Privacy preferences.
I have gone into the Firewall panel of Security & Privacy and added the scanner and the MP Navigator EX 2.1 app to allow incoming connections; I have also updated all software I could find relative to the Canon PIXMA MX860 on the Canon website.
But every time I try to use my scanner, I have to click on the "Allow" button, as if I never changed the settings int he Firewall panel.
It's not a big deal, just a nuisance to have to keep on clicking the Allow button every time I want to use the scanner. Any thoughts?

How can I get my canon all in one to scan in maverick

After upgrade to maverick and updating drivers, the scanner in my Canon mp990 won't work. MP navigator keeps crashing. I have tried adding the scanner part in as a seperat item in the list but that won't work . Frien has same Canon problem. Suggestions?

(Sorry, I mistyped a 5 instead of MP Navigator 3 in my prior response.)
And you saw the note about needing to set up Navigator Opener with Image Capture before scanning using the Operation Panel or Scanner Buttons OS X 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9? I think that's if you want to use the scanner buttons directly on the machine while saving the scan to your computer, rather than scanning from the MP Navigator control screen on the computer, but it couldn't hurt.
I don't own an MP990 but my MG5320 began working on Mavericks once I downloaded and then installed all the updated software dmg files by double-clicking and the updated MP Navigator EX and EX opener.
Previously, I was on OS X 10.6.8.
If everything is installed correctly, I think you should see both a Print and a Scan selection button above the printer description in , System Preferences, Hardware, Printers and Scanners
I have my current printer installed twice, once with USB and once with WiFi. As you can see below, the USB version does NOT show the Scan button for the USB connection (because the printer is not connected via USB at the moment)
And as a last resort, you could try resetting the print system.
Note that ALL saved print 'Presets' you have configured will all need to be documented before re-setting and then re-created after resetting the print system, that's why it's listed as a last resort. I usually end up with a dozen or so Presets I create for the jobs I use all the time (Fast duplex, fast 2-up duplex, legal landscape, Matte Photo paper, 4x6 borderless, and so on, but I've recreated them so often that I remember most of the settings and don't have to write everything down.
