How does one install Canon Imageclass mf 4800 scanner driver to imac?

Question

I just purchased a Canon Imageclass 4890 wireless printer for my office. I successfully connected to my wireless network, and I can print from my imac rather new, purchased last year. But for the life of me I can not install the scanner driver, or it just won't take. I spoke with Apple support, but they really could not help me as the problem, apparently, is with the Canon software.
I also run Windows on my mac, and can both print and scan using this OS, although I can not print checks or reports, either in Windows or Mountain Lion.
I replaced my Canon 4680 (which worked fine in all aspects) with this printer because I wanted to free up some desk space and get rid of the USB cable, but this new printer has proved quite a problem so far.

Answer 1

I had the same problem so I called Canon support and they gave me the following instructions:
1. Open the MF Toolbox
2. They will give you the message that "Scanner is unavailable
3. Click the "Scan" button on the device and select "Remote Scan"
4. Click on the "MF ToolBox" next to the Apple on the top left corner of your screen and select "Network Scanner Setting" from the drop down menu
5. Click on the + Button to add a scanner
6. A screen should pop up with your network scanner on it.  Select the correct scanner you want to add and close the window.
7. Then click on the "Scanner" tab in the MF Toolbox Mode and you should see your device have been added and start scanning.
These steps worked for me.  Hope it helps!  Cheers!
