Canon PIXMA MP140 Scanner not working in Windows 7

I have been having problems in getting the Scanner function to work properly in Windows 7. This is the message I receive everytime I try to scan or preview a scan in Windows 7:
Cannot communicate with scanner.
Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status.
Scanner driver will be closed.
I have installed the latest drivers from the Canon Support website. I have even tried installing the latest Windows XP driver in Windows 7 with no effect. I have also tried using a different USB Cable and connected the USB Cable to a different USB Port on my Computer with no luck.
The Scanner works fine in WIndows XP SP3. I upgraded my Computer to Windows 7 SP1 and now have a problem with the Scanner.
Any ideas? It is supposed to work in Windows 7 I've checked the Canon and the Microsoft website which both say that its compatibie.

This printer/scanner is NOT compatible with Windows 7 32-bit.
I tried installing the latest MP Driver v1.06 and the MP Navigator 3.1 software in Windows XP compatibility mode and Windows Vista compatibility mode.
I even tried using the MP Driver v1.00 and MP Navigator 3.1 software (provided on the CD-ROM that came supplied with the printer) in Windows XP compatibility mode and Windows Vista compatibility mode.
I only had slight success with the MP Driver v1.00 which comes supplied on the CD-ROM with the printer.
When I installed this driver in Windows XP compatibility mode, it wouldn’t scan in MP Navigator 3.1 at all but in Windows Fax and Scan it would let me preview a scan then complete a full scan. But would then refuse to preview or scan anything else after that unless I turned the printer on and off and restart the computer.
This is obviously a driver compatibility problem with Windows 7.
I’m amazed at how Canon has tried to pass this printer/scanner off as being compatible with Windows 7 when it clearly isn’t. I know it works with Windows 7 64-bit but lets face it most people are using 32-bit systems not 64-bit.
It looks like there hasn’t been any proper testing done by Canon. Its poor form from Canon and the lack of replies in this thread is deafening. Seeing as this is the official Canon forum I was hoping there would be at least 1 or 2 replies saying try this and try that but I’ve tried everything there is to try at my end and I’m at a loss at what to try next.
I won’t be buying any Canon products in the future because of the poor after sales service and outright lies about compatibility of one of their products with newer Operating Systems. My next Printer/Scanner/Copier all in one will be an Epson or a HP.

Canon pixma mp500 scanner not working with mac osx 10.6.8

I'm having difficulty using my scanner. I've updated the Canon driver with the most recent version. It recoginises the printer/scanner but won't import image. Has anyone had a similar issue and successfully resolved it?

duncan, I've got an MX 880 series all in one printer, and have the same issue. A work around that I use is to select "e-mail" the scanned item. The scanned item is then inserted into an e-mail format where I can choose to download/save the scanned document into whatever folder I want. This was the only expedient method I could find. The Canon software capability between some of their newer printers and Mac operating systems is not totally compatible. For example, sometimes the top half of a line of text gets printed on one page, and the bottom half of the line gets printed on the ensuing page. Doesn't happen often, but it is annoying.

Canon pixma IP4000R will not work with Snow Leopard

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, my Canon IP4000r printer will not work. I have tried both the Canon Printer Drivers 2.3 (my printer is listed) from Apple and the latest printer driver from Canon. There are multiple problems ... the first thing I noticed is that not all of the printer options are available on the print dialog. When I tried to print, I got "fatal::internal error -9660."
It looks like both drivers I've tried so far are CUPS (which is probably why all of the printer options are not supported).
Anyone have any ideas? Other than buying a new printer ...

The driver version provided by Canon is v10.26.x while the update provided by Apple will increase the version to 10.30.3.0. The v10.26 and v10.30 drivers provide all the features that the previous v4.8.3 driver for OS X 10.5 and earlier provided. However the layout for these menus is definitely different.
Also, a lot of user who upgrade from a previous OS X may not realise that the default print dialog is in a minimised view. You need to press the disclosure triangle next to the printer name to get the expanded view.
When I tried to print, I got "fatal::internal error -9660."
I suggest you try a printer reset.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac
This will remove your iP4000R print queue but not the printer drivers. So you will only need to add the queue again.
It looks like both drivers I've tried so far are CUPS (which is probably why all of the printer options are not supported).
Yes they are both CUPS by name as they are both made by Canon. But this is not your issue. If you believe that a particular option is not available then please reply with what that is.

Cannot make Canon PIXMA MX922 fax to work with "Windows Fax And Scan" on Windows 7, 8.1

I have Canon PIXMA MX922 multifunction printer installed wireless on iMac OS X Mavericks. It works great but there is no fax drivers for Mac. I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installed on Parallel Desktop. I am able to print and scan on these machines. I can scan using "Windows Fax and Scan" and other programs including My Image Gardens but no luck with faxing. I can send faxes using print function and chosing a Cannon MX920 series fax driver. The problem is to recieve faxes. I've connected MX922 wireless and wired with no help.
Does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

Hi Anton,
thank you for your advice.
In case this is going to fix itself in 25 hours I will check for the issue then. I'm gonna let you know whether the issues has disappeared.
But it sounds to me a little bit, like you have been expecting that behaviour? Have you? Especially within a Lab it is very confusing to have test clients which appear fully functional 25 hours after the setup has been succeeded.
I've followed your annotation and posted the log files on the Connect portal.
Thx
Peter

HP 3050 Scanner not working with Windows 7

My HP 3050 worked fine with XP. Now that i have a computer with Windows 7, the scanner will not work. I called HP, and they do not have a fix, and their Windows 7 computer with HP 3050 scanner works the same way. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Donaldparis,
After researching from the HP website, I realize that they do not release the HP LaserJet 3050 All-in-One Printer driver for Windows 7. It means that you will install the Windows 7 built-in basic driver and use the basic features. For more information about how to install the basic driver, you may refer to the following link:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=3463669&prodTypeId=18972&objectID=c01856597#category4
Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
If it does not work, you may also try to install the printer driver for Windows Vista under compatibility mode.
Install driver under compatibility mode & Administrator level
==================================
1.Right click on the exe file for driver and click Properties.
2.Click on the Compatibility tab.
3.Select “Run this program in compatibility mode for.”
4.Choose Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) from the drop down list.
5.Select “Run this program as an administrator” option under the Privilege Level topic.
6.Click Apply, click OK.
7. Please double click on the exe file again.
Good luck!

Welcome to the forums mvcad!
I saw your post about the installation issue you are facing with your Photosmart 7520 model. I will gladly do my best to assist you with this! Thank you very much for all of the excellent screen shots as well by the way! I have some questions and something for you to try to start out with.
Are you able to make copies from the printer itself?
If the copies are working fine, remove/uninstall the printer from the Device Manager, complete a Clean Boot and Disable your Firewall (Re-enable later) and then try to run the installation: HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Download.
If those steps don't do the trick to have the printer installed correctly, please answer the following question and let me know the results from the above steps.
You mentioned you have tried installing the printer on 2 PC's. Are they both showing the same error when attempting to install?
Thanks for posting in the community, hope to hear from you!

Validity fingerprint scanner not working on Windows 10

I downloaded the Validity driver from the website, but my fingerprint scanner isn't working. When I was running the Insider previews it did work and I was able to use Windows Hello.

Canon mf4720w scanner not working on windows 10

i've updated to the latest windows 10 driver. printer is working fine but the scanner is not. the mf toolbox doesn't recognize the driver...

OK, after reading about people having the same problem after upgrading to Windows 8.1, it appears all you have to do is uninstall the Toolbox and drivers, re-install them, and after rebooting the computer everything seems to be working again.

Therefore, with Toolbox, when I press any scan button, no windows appeare. I have try also with the Microsoft Scanner application from the store but the application stay on wait... status for ever. Also in Toolbox settings there is the Canon MF4100 series as device to use but nothing is possible. Thanks for the attention. Marco

Right click and select Properties
On the Security tab, select your username, or the home group, in the list of user names
Click 'Edit'
Click on 'Allow' for all permissions.

Canon Pixma MP520 does not work with Airport under Leopard

Before this printer MP520 worked without any problem.
After installing Leopard, I can print through USB but not through Airport.
I installed all latest updates for Leopard, firmware for Airport and even the latest Canon driver.
I can see the printer in my Bonjour list. Then it looks like it's connecting and then an error window pops up. Error A 306, print attempt failing.
I also restarted Airport with and without printer connected.
Any hint is welcome

Are you using Windows or Mac? Are you using the IJ scan utility? Can the printer make a copy? It looks like you have a European model, so not sure if the process is the same.

It sounds like you are experiencing issues with your Canon scanner, I'm sure that is frustrating. I have found an article with some resources that may help get your device back up and running:

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.
