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?

  • Canon PIXMA MX860 Error 311

    Hi,
    I recently bought a Canon PIXMA MX860. I want to print wirelessly via bluetooth from my computer, but an error message keeps on popping up "Error Number : 311 Printer is in use or an error has occurred. If an error has occurred eliminate the cause of the error."
    I updated to all the newest drivers. I tried looking at the gutenprint drivers, but I couldn't find one that works with the Canon PIXMA MX860. Any help would be much appreciated!

  • Canon PIXMA MX882 error message b200

    I just received an error message b200 and a message saying I should disconnect the power cord and contact a service center.  I did what some others did and removed the printhead and flushed it with water to clean it and put it back.  Didn't make a difference.  Also, when I turn on the printer, it makes a nasty scraping noise.  Does anyone know how serious this problem is?  Can it be fixed, or do I need to retire this one and get a new one.  If I get a new one, any recommendations.  I need the print, scan and fax functions and am willing to spend up to $200.  We usually don't print photos from the printer.  I need a working printer very badly since I use it for work.

    Hello,
    Please try unplugging the printer for at least 10 minutes.  If the issue persists at that point, the best thing to do would be to get in touch with our technical support team at http://bit.ly/Phone_Support for further assistance.  They will let you know of all the options you have.
    Thanks!

  • Canon PIXMA MX860 driver problems with OSX 10.7.5

    Somewhere along the road of updates, I have lost the ability to have my Canon PIXMA MX860 recognize the envelope feeder.  Does anyone have a suggestion what I need to do to get all of my printer's functions working again?  I am on OSX 10.7.5 with a 17" MacBook Pro.  I have also loaded the latest drivers that came from Apple updates.

    Tested the Envelope facility in Word 2011 and I was able to print on the envelope loaded in the rear tray.
    After I created my envelope I selected the Print button.
    This made the normal print dialog appear. I clicked on the Copies & Pages menu and selected Quality & Media.
    And from this pane I selected Envelope and Rear Tray. I then pressed Print and the address printed on the envelope.
    This test was using the v10.72.1.0 driver for the MX860.

  • How can I repair Canon Pixma MP550 Error B200?

    How can I repair a Canon Pixma MP550 error 200?

    Hi dlp1962uva,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand you are trying to install your Canon printer after replacing your hard drive on your MacBook Pro. It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting by trying to install the drivers. I did some research on your printer, the Canon PIXMA iP6000D and it appears that this printer software is no longer available through software update.
    OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
    Additional Information
    Printer software no longer available through Software Update
    The third-party vendor no longer provides software for the following models to download and install through Software Update. Contact the vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    The The Additional Information section where I found this information is at the very bottom of this article. This printer specifically is listed as a printer that is no longer supported by software update is the list under Additional Information. I would suggest contacting Canon to see if the printer drivers are still available through them.
    I hope this helps,

  • MG3250 Printer throws up error message - Scangear cannot communicate with scanner for these reasons

    Hi
    I have an MG 3250 printer running off an HP Pavilion Laptop using Windows 8.1. Every time I try to scan  I get an error message that 'cannot  communicate with scanner for these reasons...........etc'. The only way I can get the printer / scanner to work is by going through the Control Panel / Hardware & Printers route. This seems terribly slow and time consuming. What is wrong and what needs to be done to correct the problem?
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem as you with my new Canon LiDE 120. The errors I get are: 2, 156, 182, 55 and sometimes 77 when using it on my Windows 8.1 (64 Bit) desktop PC. I have tried installing and uninstalling the drivers multiple times, used different ports and still nothing. It does however work properly on a Windows 7 device.
    My PC's specification is as follows:
    Windows 8.1 (64 Bit) - With latest updates
    Avast Premier
    Malwarebytes
    ASUS z87 Pro
    Intel 4770k
    ASUS GTX 670 (4GB)
    8GB 1600MHz Kingston RAM
    Things I have done
    Tried different ports (USB 2.0 and 3.0)
    Installed all software & driver from CD
    Installed all software & driver from Canon Website
    Installed only the latest driver from Canon Website (April 2015)
    Tried to use Windows Fax & Scan, Scan, IJ Scan Utility, Scangear and Vuescan.
    What happens
    The physical buttons on the device are unresponsive
    The computer says it is warming up, but nothing happens
    It starts to scan for a few seconds and then comes to an abrupt end - this can happen at 10% of the scan or even at 91%.
    Surely the problem cannot be with Windows 8.1 since the device was only released last year. What could be the issue? I called their support line and was advised to clear the drivers of previous scanners used by my system, I did this and there still is no change. Could somebody please help me! 

  • Canon PIXMA MX860 printer on Snow Leopard

    After upgrading from OS 10.4.11 Tiger to OS 10.6.4 Snow Leopard, my Ethernet connected MX860 stopped working.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    On OS X Server, you need to use the Server Admin utility (Applications > Server ) to share the local print queue. This requires the Print service to be added/started and then a queue created for the local printer.
    Seems unusual that you would want to share a wireless printer from the server. The MacBook 'clients' would still be able to connect directly to this printer without having to connect via the server share so without knowing all the details of your setup it just seems an odd requirement.

  • Pixma MG2520 error message when trying to scan

    Every time I try to scan a picture with my Pixma MG2520 it gives me the error message "You do not have the required privileges to access the specified folder. Code:9,244,3" It was working fine when I first bought it 10 days ago and I scanned about 700 pictures. Now this error code keeps coming up every time that I click on "Photo Scan". I am using Windows 8.1 on an Asus laptop. When this code came up last time I just took the printer cartridges out and put them back in and it worked fine, but this time that did not work. I do not use my printer for printing, I only use it for scanning. What can I do??

    Hi xloriricex, Please try scanning and then saving your images to a different folder. Does the error persist?

  • Trouble importing from Canon HG21 AVCHD - error message in iMovie 08

    We bought a Canon HG21 AVCHD camcorder. I am able to see the videos and play them when connected using iMovies '08. When I import them, however, I keep getting an error message (no number, just error in importing, check video). I have about 10GB of space. I thought I'd try simply importing a 25 second clip to see if that was the problem. Still, same error. I tried hooking up my external drive to import to that instead, but it will not show it as an option in the drop down menu.
    I've spent all day trying to find the solution. I'd love some help if anyone can tell me what to try next.
    Thanks!

    You do not have enough space on the internal drive to do the import. (You need a good bit of free space just to run the operating system.)
    So you need to use an external drive.
    For iMovie to see an external drive, it must be formatted as MacOS Extended (journaled). You can check the formatting by right-clicking on the drive in the Finder and selecting GET INFO. If the drive is FAT32, it will not work, but it is likely that you could reformat it.
    Note: Reformatting a drive will erase everything that is on it, so be sure to back up anything you need to keep.
    To reformat, open DISK UTILITY. It should be in your Applications Folder under the Utilities folder.
    In Disk Utility, select your external drive, and press PARTITION. Make a single partition, and choose GUID as the partition scheme. When that completes, press ERASE, and choose Mac OS Extended (journaled) as the formatting. Let it run and you are done.
    iMovie should now see this drive.

  • Log & Transfer of Canon HF 11: error message

    Hi guys,
    I just got a new canon HF 11 (basically the same as the HF 10) and i tried to import footage using Log & Transfer but every time I click "add clip to queue" it spins a grey icon for a few seconds which then turns to a red circle with an exclamation mark inside and says "Error: No Data". I have tried giving the clip an in and out mark but this doesn't help.
    Any ideas,
    Thanks

    I have had a similar problem with my Canon HG21 which has both hard disk and 32GB flash drive. My method is to copy files from the Hard Disk to the flash drive and then place the flash drive into a card reader. I was able to see FCE downloading in log and transfer for a second or two and then it went into an idle mode and never downloaded the file.
    My solution was to delete ALL from from the flash drive followed by copying the videos and stills from the hard disk onto the clean flash drive. I realize you don't have the luxury of the hard disk, but perhaps you can extract the files using the Voltiac tool to clone the Canon structure from the camera and see if log and transfer will work directly from your hard disk on the Mac.

  • Canon Pixma MP640 Error B200

    Hi,
    When I turn on my printer it give me B200 error. A week ago I disconnected supply cable for 12 hours and it go well.
    Now I tried to disconnected already for 12 hours but this time it don't go.
    I I replaced all cartridges, clean printer head with water and dry it, but it don't go.
    I tried to go in service mode and green and orange led  flashing alternatively. If I try to press resume 4 times in service mode to reset ink waste, nothing happens.
    Advice???

    *** DISCLAIMER *** You'll try the following advices solely on your own responsibility!  
    After B200 error in my MP640 (Europe version) I firstly carried out a print head cleaning method with alcohol and distilled water (6 + 6 min) proposed at [link removed per forum guidelines] (see down on the page and use Google translate if needed).
    Well, cleaning alone didn't help.
    After that I found from another forum an 'open print head bay boot' (like I'm calling it...) trick which I combined with an idea of nozzle cleaning. So I managed to solve my B200 problem as follows:
    1. Turn OFF the printer and make sure there is plenty of ink left in every tank.
    2. From "Devices and Printers" open MP640 properties and further the "Maintenance" window.
    3. From Maintenance section select nozzle cleaning (all colors), preferably the 'deeper' one. And then STOP! Don't start any cycle yet.
    4. Open the print head bay (as though you were about to change inks).
    5. Turn ON power.
    6. Wait for print carriage to start moving to the left and let it go past half way.
    7. Before print carriage reaches left hand side (but after going halfway across) shut the cover.
    8. Printer's display turns now into dark color and shows text "Canon" above the 'running balls'. During that time start the cleaning cycle but don't do anything else, i.e. don't try to print the test page yet.
    9. Nozzle cleaning should start right after printer initializing.
    10. After the cleaning cycle is finished run another one without printing anything. Make sure you don't run out of any ink.
    11. Print the test page to check if additional cleaning is still needed.
    I had to do the print bay boot + nozzle cleaning another time because B200 error returned quite soon after the first try. But after some more cleaning cycles and printing everything seems to be ok now. Hope this helps with your printer!

  • IMac and Canon Pixma MX860.

    Awesome printer. Really, it does a great job. But I want to throw it, and my iMac out the freakin' window.
    Before Snow Leopard I was always able to print wirelessly, after I downloaded Snow Leopard, the two just wont talk to each other. I can print wired, but my printer needs to be across the room, not sitting here on the floor where the cable can reach.
    This problem is driving me bananas. I put the Canon in the closet for a while and just let it be. But I need it WIRELESS again and I just cannot solve the problem.
    I have tried everything possible, I have googled the problem, and have posted this question here before, followed the suggestions, and nothing. I have also tried the Canon website and have done what they have suggested.
    HELP!

    That device does not support duplexing according to it's system specifications.

  • Faxing with the Canon Pixma MX860?

    I just bought this printer,mostly so I could network print with my tablet PC, but partly so I could fax directly from my Mac. My old Canon couldn't do it: I had to print the document, and then put it on the platen of the printer, and fax from there (kinda defeats the purpose, no?!). So when I read all the specs on the Apple Store website (http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A) that included specs on Faxing, I figurered, why would they make all that fuss if it couldn't fax from the Mac? But it now appears that I'm back in the 20th century. I called Canon, and was told that I'd be able to fax directly from the (Vista) laptop, but not my Mac! How can this be true?!?! (I have a Mac V 10.5.7). My new Mac does not have a built-in modem. Why can't it use the one in the Canon? Does anybody have a work-around????? Thanks.

    Checking the Canon web site, there is no fax driver for OS X for this model, so you are out of luck. In fact, looking at several other models of the MX series, there is no fax driver for Mac OS X. So it seems that Canon has once again shown its usual support for Mac owners.
    With the machines that can fax from the OS X desktop, like my MF4680, when you connect the machine to the Mac and select to add a printer queue, you see two printer names - one of which has the word fax. To add this queue you need to install the fax driver, which is a separate driver to the printer driver.
