Canon MP560 prints wirelessly ok but scanner is not recognized

Something is going on with the latest Mac OS. Seems to be only with Intel Macs only.Image capture does not recognize either scanner I have.(Canoscan 8400F also).
I see others have broken connections other than Canon also.
Has Apple given an official release about this problem? Some have workarounds that are at programming level,but i'm not going anywhere near that fix. And Twain Sane isn't much of a fix as it doesn't give full capability of scanning like the original program used to run the scanner.I don't want to go through a whole number of steps to get it to work.I don't have Photoshop to make a workaround.
Here is what my friend had to do to get his new and old one to work:
"I am okay now, as I have the older CS3 Photoshop now sitting next to the CS4 version, and I've got the older one running in Rosetta compatibility mode and this lets me run the Canon scanner driver in full 16 bit colour mode. If I only wanted 8 bit colour files, I could just use the Canon utility but for working with restorations of old images, you want 16 bit greyscale (for old B&W pictures) or 16 bit colour mode."

In order to use Image Capture for scanning via USB from either Canon device you may need to update the Canon ICA drivers included with Snow Leopard. The Canon v1.5.1 update can be downloaded via the following link.
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100213301.html
This will update the Canon IJScanner1 package located within the core Image Capture > Devices folder.
For the wireless connected MP560 I don't believe Image Capture can be used. But you can use Preview or even the MP560 Scanner queue in Print & Fax. You will need to install the Canon MP560 scanner driver listed below.
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100204302.html
With regards to using Preview, to see the networked scanner you will have to click on File > Import from Scanner > Included Networked Devices. Then when you click on File > Import from Scanner again, the MP560 should be shown as an available device.
Has Apple given an official release about this problem?
I don't believe there is a known problem with OS X 10.6.4 Image Capture so therefore I would say there is no official release from Apple.
Some have workarounds that are at programming level,but i'm not going anywhere near that fix.
I would suggest that the workaround you have seen, especially at a programming level, would be meant for older models of scanners that have no official support from the vendor. But this is not needed for your scanners as Canon has provided drivers that function correctly on 10.6 for the majority of their scanners and AIO's.
And Twain Sane isn't much of a fix as it doesn't give full capability of scanning like the original program used to run the scanner.
There is no need to SANE. The following link is the Canon provided scanner driver for your CS8400F.
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900334701.htm
I don't want to go through a whole number of steps to get it to work.I don't have Photoshop to make a workaround.
Like SANE, Photoshop is not needed. I am scanning over a wireless network at home with my new MP990 using the Canon MP990 scanner queue without a problem.
And my LiDE200 connected via USB to my Mac works fine also.

  • Hp officejet pro 8500a - could print wirelessly previously, but now does not print documents.

    Our HP Officejet Pro 8500A was successfully networked via our wireless network to both computers in our household.  We were able to print from both, as well as IPod Touch.  We have not changed any settings, etc.; however, the printer is no longer printing.
    We are able to print a test document from the printer; however, we are receiving the following error message on the printer:
    Connection Error
    The printer was unable to connect to the server.  Check your internet connection and try again.  Would you like to retry?
    When we retry, it just brings the error message back up.
    When we check the printer status on the computers, it shows that the printer is connected, but is in idle status.
    Please advise what would be causing this issue, and how to correct it.

    Sorry that you are having a problem printing. 
    Can you print a self test page or printer status report from the printer itself?
    Do you get an error message when you try to print?

  • Hello, I currently have a MacBook snow leapord and i'm trying to connect it with my Canon MP560 printer, i put in the CD and installed everything properly but now when i add a printer it says a Queue already exists, i click continue and nothing happens???

    Hello,
    I'm using a MacBook Snow Leapord and I'm trying to connect it with my Canon MP560 printer/scanner.
    I installed the CD and followed along with the manual and did everything it asked, at the end it told me it was finished.
    So then I went to go print something and an error had occured so i went to the file menu on Microsoft Word for
    Mac and clicked Print/Add Printer and then i click on the Canon MP560 series-1 as it was the only one to click on.
    When I did it stated that I already has a Queue for this printer and if I'd like to add a new one so I clicked continue and nothing
    had happend. PLEASE HELP
    sincerely,
    Laura.

    I would recommend to download the driver appropriate for your system from the Canon webiste or, after installing it, to run software update and it will detect it for you.
    If you have the last driver appropriate for your system, you may wish to reset the printing system. To do this, go to Sys prefs/print and fax and, upon clicking minus button, also press Option/alt key. You will be asked to confirm, do it. Then, add the printer by pressing plus button, it should work now.
    But, before doing this, download the last good driver, CDs usually contain outdated drivers.

  • Canon MP560 Printer is not detected by System Preferences

    Hi everyone,
    I am using a 2010 Macbook Pro with OS X Version 10.7.5, I have had this Canon MP560 Printer for about 2 years now and it has been working perfectly until lately when it starts to keep on returning "a communication error has occured" whenever I tried to print something.
    I have read through the forum and noticed that people have experienced the same thing as me.
    So for me, I have tried the following solutions:
    1. Checking if the LAN connection is working and printing the LAN test page from printer. It does print ad says that wireless LAN is enabled an active.
    2. I deleted the printer and scanner from System Preferences and try to re-add it
    3. Update my software
    When I tried to re-add it, there is no printer detected. I tried doing the step-by-step that PAHU recommended that worked for some one but unfortunately it does not work for me. My printer still does not appear when I tried to look up a printer.
    (Here is the step by step that I followed:
    The printer component of the MP560 can take longer to appear than the scanner component. The scanner uses Bonjour to advertise itself on the wireless network, while the printer component uses a proprietary protocol called "canonijnetwork". If you select to add a printer and have the Default Add Printer view open, you will see the MP560 as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. But if you wait at least 15 seconds more, the printer should appear showing "canonijnetwork" in the Kind column.
    If this printer component does not appear after 30 seconds maximum then it would suggest a problem with the printer driver installation. So open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter and trash the contents of this folder. Then download the latest MP560 driver via this link and run the installer. With the installation completed, try to add the printer again.)
    Since I have tried these suggestions but still is not successful I wonder what's wrong with my Printer/Macbook and if there's any other way to add printer (using IP address for example ). If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Yes I can Ping the IP address from Network Utility.
    Before, my Macbook couldn't even recognize the scanner, but now I can add the Scanner from System Preferences.
    However, my printer is stll not detected. I am missing some sort of an application or something?

    Well that certainly is the correct path to the networked printer. So with this queue not printing then this is a concern.
    There are several things I suggest you do if you haven't already.
    1. Turn off the power to the MP560 and unplug the power cord for 1 minute. Then reconnect the power cord and turn it back on again.
    2. Open Print & Fax and delete the MP560 network printer. Highlight the printer in the list and then press the minus button to remove it.
    3. With Print & Fax still open, move the mouse to the printer list and Control-click. Click the menu Reset printing system. This will delete all printers and scanners in Print & Fax, so if you have other printers or scanners that are still working fine then you may not want to perform this step.
    4. Restart the Mac
    5. With the Mac restarted and connected to your wireless network, open Print & Fax and click the + button to add a printer. With the Default view displayed the MP560 should be seen - once as a scanner (showing Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column) and after a few seconds it will also show as a printer (showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column). Select the printer entry and ensure the Print Using menu changes to Canon MP560 series. Click Add to complete the print queue creation.
    6. Try to print to this newly created queue.
    7. Cross your fingers
    8. Scream for joy when the printer starts to print or curse and reply to me when it doesn't....

  • Canon MP560 printer

    Pahu was trying to find a solution for me but I think I stumped him.  Everytime I try to print wirelessly with my Canon MP560 I have to first delete the printer then re add it.  How can I avoid having to do this every time?

    I'm running 10.6.8 and have a Canon MP560 printer which I print to (and scan with) wirelessly, and it works fine. I did need to load the latest Canon drivers and software in order for it to work.

    Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

  • Printer prints wirelessly fine but it won't copy

    Just bought hp photosmart plus Series B210. It prints wirelessly fine but it won't copy. Press black copy or color copy on printer screen "and says Starting Copy..."  but gets stuck there and does not copy. Have to pull out plug and plug in to reset printer. Have tried numerous times but unable to print. Help, please!

    After several weeks of not finding answers here or elsewhere on the web - and after waiting for an iTunes 7.0.1 and getting it - I "gave up" and went to the Apple Store last night.
    The Genius bar took my ipod, plugged it in to a mac, reached under the counter and handed me what they said was a NEW ipod (it was in a generic brown box with no accessories, cables, etc). I did not like that solution for two reasons. First, all of my family photos and videos were on my iPod and I did not like the idea that maybe those photos would turn up on the web someday. Second, it was a gift and had a personalized engraving on the back. When I pressed them on what they thought was wrong with my iPod they said it was not worth the time to figure out and they would just give me another one. Or I could ship in to Apple Support and they would send me a new one WITH the same engraving in a couple of weeks. I took the "new" iPod.
    And, sure enough, when I connected it to my powerbook it was detected, the firmware was updated and iTunes synced all my music, photos and videos (and games).
    The Genius bar people seems pretty sure that the problem was hardware (the port where you connected the USB cable at the bottom of the device). When I pointed out that it had been working fine right up until the day I upgraded to iTunes 7.0 and that it had not worked since they did not seem terribly interested.
    So, my problem is "solved" in that I have a working iPod sans engraving.

  • Since upgrading my Macbook pro with Yosemite, I have problem with my Xerox Work Centre 3045 - the printer works normally but it does not recognise the scanner, can you help with this?

    Since upgrading my Mac book pro with Yosemite, I have problems with my Xerox Work Centre 3045 printer. The printer works normally but it does not recognise scanner, I can not scan anything. Can you help?

    Open Disk Utility and select your hard drive, then Repair Permissions, it will probably return a very large number of errors, primarily printer and library errors, so run it a second time.  Then restart the MacBook Pro.  If it still will not scan, try using Image Capture from Finder > Applications and see if that will work.  If not, contact Xerox about updated drivers.

  • I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detect

    I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detected.

    Looks like all Epson scanners will fail under Mvrx. And who knows when an updated driver will be available. It's not as if they have had a while to do it already.
    After I noticed mine wouldn't work, I deleted my Workforce 610 and re-added it by pressing the + and instead of going for the IP versions that may pop up, that they say to do under normal conditions, select the Bonjour version. When you select the new printer/scanner in the Printers & Scanners Control Panel, then open the control window and then look in the dock and see if your printer is there. Right click on it and go to "Keep in Dock" for easy Access. In the printer panel there should be a little picture of a scanner on the right side. Click on it or type Commmand-3 and the built-in scanner software/utility will come up. After playing with it I think it's better than and there are some cool features that are not in the stock Epson software.
    Hope this helps.

    I will need some more information in order to assist. What model of printer do you have? Different printers have different features such as the ability to display the printer's ePrint address on the front panel of the printer. The website that the printer can be viewed at is eprintcenter.com. Click on this link here to see the sign in page. Have you signed up and register the printer at this site? Is the email address for the printer one that you have customized? Or is one consisting of what appears to be random letters and numbers?
