How to properly locate and "Uninstall Canon ij Network Scan Utility"

Question

I had this same problem so I went thru my computer's specifics.
If you try doing a spotlight or "find" search for canon, canon lj network utility, etc. you'll only find a "Canon" folder, but it won't necessarily give you the information you're looking for.
Here's what I did:
First turn off the "canon ij network scan utility"
Then:
1. Click on Finder
2. Click the Macintosh HD icon (hard drive icon under iDisk)
3. Click the Library folder (make sure it's the folder with the picture on it, building with columns)
4. Scroll down to the "Printers" folder
5. Locate the "Canon" folder, then the "BJPrinter" folder.
6. Once you installed the "canon ij network scan utility" to your computer, various components will be scattered throughout this "BJPrinter" folder. Click on each folder, and check the "Date Modified" column. Every file within this folder that has a Date Modified similar to the date you installed the program, is a file with a relation to the "canon ij network scan utility." I suggest deleting them all.
7. If you're looking to make sure you're getting rid of the"canon ij network scan utility," after you click on Macintosh HD>>Library>>Printers>>Canon>>BJPrinter, click on the "Utilities" folder. In this folder you'll find a couple of utilities installed with the "canon ij network scan utility" program, but you'll also find the actual "canon ij network scan utility" program. I suggested dragging the utilities folder to the trash and disposing of it all. Do a "secure empty trash" if necessary. It may not empty right away since you still had it on the top right, so restart your computer then try to empty the trash when everything reboots.
Hope this helps.

Answer 1

Under System Preferences, System, Accounts, Login Items, I removed the Scan Utility from the list of programs that open automatically when I log in. The program no longer starts but I fear that the program is lingering some where on my computer hard drive.
