Canon MG5150 Scanner problems

Hello, I have a Canon MG5150 connected to my Mid 2010 27" I5 iMac with 16 GB ram (running OS X 10.7.4, Italian language with all updates applied).
The printer works just fine, but I'm not able to use the scanner... Trying to scan using "Image Capture" (I believe this is the English name of the application) doesn't work. The scanner is shown as available, as soon as the application starts it begins the "preview" of the image. You can hear the sensor starting to move, but after 1-2 seconds it goes back to the left of the glass and stops there. The iMac screen says "scanning preview" and doesn't show any error, all I can do is close the program.
If I try again, it either says that the scanner can't be found or that it is busy.
Starting the scanning procedure from the MG5150 panel makes the "Image Capture" application load automatically but with the same results.
If I choose to scan to an USB stick from the MG5150 panel the scanner works ok, so I believe there's a communication error between the scanner and the computer.
What can I do? I've already tried removing the printer software and reinstalling it many times (also deleting files manually) but without any luck.
Please help. Thanks!

People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan ( ).
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .
The next window looks like this:
Hope this helps

Canon MP560 Scanner Problems - Allow Incoming Connections and Sharing

Though I have allowed incoming connections for my scanner, I'm prompted every time I want to scan. In addition, I've also selected so share my scanner in the Print and Fax window. However, it automatically deselects.
Help!
Oh, and I've also allowed incoming connections for the DVD/CD sharing but according to the Sharing menu, it's blocked by the firewall. I don't understand. =S

I'm not sure what you mean by prompted every time you want to scan, but if you have the scanner driver and not the Canon Scan utility in the permitted list, then this could be the issue.
To add the Canon IJ Network Scan Utility to the list of allowed programs.
1. Open System Preferences > Security and select the Firewall tab.
2. Enable “Set access for specific services and applications
3. Click the + icon
4. Browse to Mac HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter > Utilities and select Canon IJ Network Scan Utility. Click Add
5. Ensure the Canon IJ Network Scan Utility is set to ‘Allow incoming connections’.

Has anyone managed to make the Canon 8000F Scanner work on this system?

has anyone managed to make the Canon 8000F Scanner work on this OX system?

Part of the problem is that this is probably not a "logical" error. The common cause of this issue is still image files where the pixel size is too large. This suggests that Encore's (and other Adobe apps) ability to handle image size is exceeded without a better error message. The link, which I'm going to post until I find a "new" location (if one exists) is now a bad link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/error-software-used-decode-media.html
And in this example where it was not an image issue, the user fixed the problem by re-encoding the problem file.

Canon MP600 scanner not working - help!!

I have a Canon MP600 scanner/copier/printer. It's connected to my MacBook which I purchased in Sept 2007. I have 10.5.2 on my computer. Computer's HD failed after 4 months, then flex cable (BUS cable?) had to be replaced about a week ago. Scanner worked fine before 10.5.2 and the hard driver failing.
Scanner scans the document, but a screen pops up on the computer that says "Unable to save file. The system cannot find the path specified."
I've updated and installed all the drivers from Canon's website. I cannot figure out what is causing the problem, or how to rectify it?
Please offer any help you can. Thanks!

Hi all,
I had the same issue with a Canon MP600. Printing
did work, but it refused to scan with scanner not connected
message.
I updated all the drivers, no luck.
As a last resort, I changed the USB cable to a certified
USB 2.0 high speed one and it started scanning
I would suggest to try the following procedures:
- find a USB high speed cable
- connect just the mac and the printer
- test
If it it works it might be the old cable or some
interference with another USB device.
Reconnecting one at a time the other devices will
be the final step .
If it does not work also after having updated the
drivers and standalone with a Hi-speed USB cable
I have no additional clues, sorry.
Hope it helps

Canon twain scanner

iMac running OS X Lion 10.7.3 recently taken to N2 to consolidate external backup drive and reinstall initial software. Back home and for 3 days and still trying to locate some of the missing initial programs not installed by N2 which were initially pre-installed and now am having trouble scanning checks from my Canon MX860 scanner despite having dowload all drivers (at least I think so) and getting message back from the bank when using Safari that twain is not enabled for them to detect checks. This is driving me crazy.

The scanning via Image Capture or Preview uses the ICA driver. This is included with the [Canon driver update|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899] available from Apple. The Canon scanner driver supports the scanning via MP Navigator but not Image Capture or Preview and the ICA driver does not support this application.
So it sounds like you have a problem with the ICA driver. This driver package is located in HD > Library > Image Capture > Devices > CanonIJScanner1. You could try installing the [ICA v1.7.0 driver|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100213301.html] which will update this package.
If that doesn't help then can you confirm if you can see the scanner if you select to add it to Print & Fax. If you select to Add the wireless MP560 should be seen twice in the Default view - first as a Bonjour Scanner and then a bit later as canonijnetwork.
FYI - Another postee found that he was not able to locate the scanner component via wireless, while the printer component was still working fine via wireless.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 and new Canon 9000F Scanner Not Working

Hi, folks I am pulling my hair out trying to get Acrobat to recognize the Canon 9000F scanner. I have downloaded the latest driver and still I am unable to get to see the darn thing.
The scanner works great in the Canon scanner software and other devices but not Acrobat.
When you go into Acrobat and do a Create a pdf and select scanner all are greyed out except custom and profiles, I have fiddled here with no luck.
I had a HP scanner before and all options where there and worked great.
Anyone know of any fixes for this?
Cheers

The scanner is just a few months old and it has never worked with Acrobat. The scanner works great with other apps like Photoshop CS5 as a WIA device, it also works in Windows native apps like the Windows Fax and Scan application but not under Acrobat 9.4.2. I use Win 7 64bit system.
There is the WIA Canoscan and a Canoscan 9000f listed and when you select either of these you get these messages.
also here is the twacker result with 2 entries

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There are two Applications folders: /Applications (in the root level of the hard drive) and ~/Applications (in your user folder).
If you have a look at the bottom part of the screenshot, you can see where Chess is stored, and it indicates that it's stored in /Applications, so you are looking for applications in the wrong folder.
Open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Sidebar, and mark Applications. Then, close the Preferences window and you will be able to access to the Applications folder in the Finder sidebar. Another option would be to go to View menu (on the menu bar) and type:
/Applications

Canon 5600f scanner doesn't work with Snow Leopard

Please someone help - I made the mistake of upgrading to snow leopard. My new Canon 5600f scanner now does not work. Pop up says it has wrong driver. OK.. Downloaded EVERY Canon driver possible + the updated Navigator EX 2.0 software. Note I HAVE downloaded these files, specifically for this model of scanner, specifically for snow leopard: http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010652.asp. I have rebooted the mac about 4 times. Please, what am i doing wrong?!

Pahu,
I too upgraded to Snow Leopard last night and have been having trouble with my 5600F all day. I'm glad I can still use the scanner in the Image Capture tool, but I would like to use the MP Navigator EX as well. I downloaded:
Scanner Driver 14.8.2
ICA Driver 1.1.1
ver Solution Menu 1.4.0
MP Navigator EX 2.0.4
MP Navigator EX 2.0 Opener
and On Screen Help 1.10
The download area for the MP Navigator EX 2.0 Opener reads "In Mac OS X 10.6, you will need to set up MP Navigator EX 2.0 Opener with Image Capture before scanning using the Operation Panel or Scanner Buttons on the machine."
I'm having trouble setting up the opener in Image Capture. The scanner still scans beautifully through Image Capture, I would just like full functionality back. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I recently install Lion OS on my iMac and just found out that my Canon 4400F scanner won't work with Lion, what can I do to get it working again?

I am having trouble with some of my previously installed software before installing the New Lion OS. I just found this evening that my Canon 4400F Scanner will no longer work with the new OS. I need to know if there is a solution for this short of buying a new scanner? I am also upset that my Microsoft Office Professional will no longer boot as well. Anyone know why this took place?

If it will not longer work due to Lion, it's most likely becasuse no drivers for Lion have been released. No way to get aroud it other than going back to Snow Leopard. MS Office wont work if it is '04 or earlier becasue it is a PPC application. Mac switched from PPC to Intel in 2006 and created the Rosetta emulator to allow companies to make their software compatable or allow users to buy new software. After 5 years, Rosetta support was dropped, with the release of Lion. No way to get this software to work with Lion.

Canon MP180 scanner won't be recognized after Mavericks upgrade

Dear Apple Support Communities members,
My Canon MP180 scanner won't be recognized after Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) upgrade: neither in Image Capture nor in MP180 standalone app.
The printer works well though.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot.
Best wishes,
Yves

Well...
I asked Canon support and got the answer that OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) was not supported.
I am kindly being suggested either to downgrade from 10.9 or to buy another scanner. Cool.

Downloaded Canon printer/scanner drivers for Canon PIXMA MP520 and MX860 on Mac Book laptop, and they worked. However, when I downloaded the same two drivers on Mac Book Air, neither worked.

I wasn't aware that VueScan charged a yearly license.
You simply launch Image Capture and if the scanner is recognized it will be listed in the SHARED list in the left display column. Select the scanner name and the app will start an overview scan. You will also see a list of scanning options in the right display column (resolution, paper size, file output format, etc.
The above description is when everything is working correctly, which has been the case for me.
Good luck.

Canon MP510 scanner not available under 10.9, who can help?

Canon MP510 scanner not available under 10.9 since update, who can help?
Canon informed me that Apple does not support this device any more, apple informed to contact the manufacturer.....
Any ideas how to activate scan function again?
Printing is okay under 10.9 and under 10.8 scan+print was okay.

Canon has a scanner driver and the MP Navigator scanning application for the MP510 for OS X 10.8 so you could try installing them on your 10.9 Mac. I am not sure if either file is digitally signed, so Gatekeeper will block the installation. To install them, you can Control-click on the respective installer and select Open from the pop-up menu. You will then be given the option to install.
And for the record, Canon makes the drivers - not Apple, so it is Canon that is not supporting the MP510 on OS X 10.9.

Can't scan from a networked Canon fb630u scanner

I run a linux server with a shared fully supported canon fb630u scanner through xsane,. Linux server configuration is ok, scanning from windows seven xsane-32 application works.
This is the macbook net.conf
connect_timeout = 15
# localhost
192.168.2.21
Ok, now running the command scanimage -L gives this result:
device `net:192.168.2.21:canon630u:libusb:002:004' is a CANON Canoscan FB630U flatbed scanner
So networked scanner is recognized by macbook...
But if i open Image Capture i can't see any devices neither in DEVICES nor in SHARED...
Moreover If i try to scan with simple command line scanimage all works!
So where am i wrong?

First of all, even though you mention network scanning, I am not sure if you have the printer using the internal wireless support or if you have it connected to the USB port of the Airport Extreme. Some users interpretation of network connections vary. So if you do have it connected to the USB port of the Extreme, then scanning is not supported. This is a limitation of Airport devices.
If however you have configured the MP640 to connect to the Extreme via wireless and you are trying to initiate the scan from the MP640 to the Mac using the Scan button, then you need to have the [Canon IJ Network Tool v2.70|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0200080802.html] installed on the Mac.
Also, if you want MP Navigator to open when you use the MP640 Scan button, you need to install [MP Navigator Opener v3.0|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0200087801.html] on the Mac.
Note that for the network scanner, there should be a separate MP640 entry under the heading of Scanners within the list of devices in Print & Fax. With this MP640 selected, you will have the Open Scanner button visible in the right hand pane. If you click this button, the MP640 scanner window will appear and attempt to connect to the AIO. Does this occur for you?
