Canon MP810 no longer scans

After I installed Mavericks my Canon MP810 unit ceased to scan. Help please

Hi ..
There's an alternative for scanning ...
Launch Image Capture located in your Applications folder.
Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.
You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:
You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Import To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.
If you need help with the Image Capture software, click Help from the Image Capture menu bar.

Canon MP 610 : no scanning with Leopoard

As soon as Leopard is installed Canon MP610 no longer scans and YES! there will be updates but it is still up to the Apple user to check every day on the Canon websites (US and Canada) to see if updates are available.
It would be too much for Canon to send an email to all registered Canon owners to inform them that the drivers (and all updates) are available with a link to go to their website for immediate downloads.
Excellent printer, such poor customer service....
"Thank you for your E-mail inquiry regarding the Canon PIXMA MP610.
Mac OS X version 10.5 drivers are currently not available for this product. If drivers are made available, they will be posted on our website under the downloads section. We suggest visiting our website periodically to see if Mac OS X version 10.5 have been released for your model."
How nice.....

It's so easy to point the finger at the vendor now but did you check with Canon first before loading Leopard to ensure that your AIO was going to work? My bet is that you didn't as most people don't. You all rush in and load the "latest and greatest' and then blame everyone else when things go wrong. This same problem occurred when Tiger was released and it will happen again when all the 10.5 updates get rolled out and when 10.6 becomes the best OS ever.
As consumers we need to be more careful. Always check before installing something new and ensure you have backups when things do go wrong.
With regards to your MP610, the current version of ScanGear (v13.4.0) does work with Leopard however this is an issue with multiple page scanning. The new version, 13.9.0, is due for release at the end of November.

After upgrading to OS 10.8.1 I can no longer scan from my Canon MP240 printer when it is connected to Airport Express.

I can no longer scan from printer (Canon Pixma MP240) when it is connected to Airport Express, although printing is no affected. However, when connected directly to MBP scanning works fine. I have tried all the standard remedies; reinstalling drivers, resetting printer system, selecting sharing options, but no luck. Previous to Mountain Lion this function worked fine. Any ideas how to regain this capability?
Thanks,
J.

I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

Can No longer Scan

My HP 2575 All in one printer will no longer scan any documents. I just up-graded to Leopard,
anit it worked fine up until now.
Can anyone help me with this situation?? Thanks in advance.

Check with HP to see if there are new printer/scanner drivers. My scanner won't work in 10.6 or 10.7, Canon never updated the drivers to non PPC code, and 10.6 and 10.7 don't use rosetta anymore.

Canon MP500 & Vuescan

I have a Canon MP 500 Multifunction and I would like to use Vuescan as my driver. When I try to use the program it keeps telling me that it has detected an MP500 but cannot connect it. I have been through the set up notes from Vuescan and have changed btn to btn.sav. I have emailed Vuescan support but they cannot offer an answer. Does anyone know anything about this glitch and can help me.

Well I eventually solved my own problem. After another email to Ed Hamrick at VueScan we found that I did not have the latest version of the driver for my Canon MP500. I downloaded it. Changed one file name as suggested by Ed and now my MP500 works perfectly. Thanks to Ed I now have the use of his great software for scanning.

10.3 to 10.5 Canon MP500 Print Sharing not working - Apple's Fault

I have an iMac which I upgraded to 10.5. When I did this it stopped being able to print to our Canon MP500 connected to our G3 running 10.3.9 I think I just had regular drivers installed and turned print sharing on....no longer works.
Whats the deal?????? Its Apples fault because I didn't change anything. How can they advertise "it just works" when it clearly doesn't. Why are they not supporting their old machines/software?
I've mailed Canon, but I doubt they have a working solution. I tried installing the cups driver on the 10.5 machine, but I didn't see anything come up.
any actual solutions would be great. This is ****** up.

Have a look at this Apple article.

This explains the workaround to let your 10.5 Mac find the 10.3 printer share.

Canon MP500 and two-sided printing

Hi all,
I have bought a Canon MP500, when I try to print something, Two-Sided options (off, long-edged binding, short-edged binding) in the Layout menu, aren't selectable.
Googling I found this is a "common" problem, tried some workarounds (like configure 2-sided printing in CUPS panel at http://127.0.0.1:631) but nothing works.. any suggestion ?

According to Canon support, their printers use Duplex Printing & Margin rather than Layout in the Print dialog. It is lower down in the list.

Can no longer scan with the HP Envy 4500

I can no longer scan documents with the HP Envy 4500. When I try to scan it times out and I receive the following error message:
"Scanner communiocation cannot be established. Ensure your product is powered on, check the connection, and ensure your network is functioning properly. If these conditions are correct, restart the product and try scanning again." I use a wireles connection to the HP Envy 4500 and it is working fine as I can print documents with no issues. I ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it flagged the issue as a potential problem with the device driver. I uninstalled the HP software and downloaded the latest version from the HP site, installed it, and tha did not correct the problem. At this point, I am not sure what else to try and correct the problem. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thanks for getting back to me
If the printer will not make copies, the unit may have a "Scanner Failure", unfortunately, and resetting the router, or computer troubleshooting would not make a difference.
You can try a power reset on the printer, to see if that will help:
Power reset the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
You can also try using a different wall outlet to see if this makes a difference.
If the problem continues, contact HP's Technical Support directly to discuss your printer replacement options, as you would require a new printer if there is a Scanner Failure.

HT1338 I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP. HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' . Does anyone know how to do this?

HP couldn't find its own apps with both hands and a flashlight.
As of Lion all scanning functions are incorporated natively in OS X. You can scan three ways:
Use Preview: File > Import from scanner
Use Image Capture
(Preview and Image Capture are both in your Applications folder.)
System Preferences > Print & Scan. Select your HP and use the Scan tab.
If you have HP's "Image Zone" software installed, you no longer need it and it no longer works anyway.

After updating to the current versions of Adobe, I can no longer scan and send emails.

After updating to the current versions of adobe, I can no longer scan and send emails nor can I open an attachment upon receiving an email.

What exactly is "adobe"? Adobe is the name of a company that has hundreds of software products, each with a distinct name.
You are posting in the Flash Player forum; do you really receive emails with Flash attachments?
Flash Player also cannot scan or send emails.
Finally you give no information regarding your operating system, email client, etc.

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine.

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine. Have used this device several times over past 2 years on different wireless networks (at home) but usually at some point I lose wireless scan function but maintain wireless Printing. I used to be able to reload the software and resolve the issue but now in this "new network" cannot get wireless scanning to work. Setup software; original software (CD) and current download as well as "Print/Scan Dr" hangs-up at "network check" for hours. Compaq laptop, Dell Laptop, Cell phones and Roku work fine thru network. Scanner works fine with USB to Laptops.

Which model Epsons are they?
I'm assuming you're using Yosemite (OS X 10.10), and that the problem developed when you upgraded from a previous OS.
(Your profile says 10.6.7 BTW).
Maybe the scanning function is not compatible with Yosemite.
You could try a few things:
reset your wifi system:
power down everything: modem, router, computer, printer/scanners.
wait a minute.
power them all up again, in that order: modem, router, computer, printers. Let each power up completely before going on to the next.
try a factor reset on your printer/scanner (if there is such a function). You'll have to check your manual for how. If you do that you'll have to enter the wifi password in your printer/scanner, assuming you have security on your network.
uninstall any printer manufacturer "utilities" that are on your Mac, and try Image Capture again.
If it is a compatible software issue, you could try VueScan, but I've never needed to use it.
