ICA driver for Canon MX512 scanner?

I've exhausted Canon Support, trying to get a Canon PIXMA MX512 multifunction printer/scanner/fax machine to work on my father-in-law's dual 2.0 GHz processorr PowerMac C5.  They do have a printer driver, downliaded from their website, that allows it to work as a printer but the only driver for the scanner function is the TWAIN driver which only works on Intel processors.  They suggested that I try the scanner using Image Capture, but Image Capture doesn't recognize the scanner.  Canon does not have an ICA driver, and no plans to create one.  The frustration is that both the Box and the Specification sheet says that the Minimum System Requirements for the MX512 on Mac is "Mac OS 10,5,8, Intel Processor, PowerPC G5, PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) 512MB." Unfortunately on their website ONLY there is an "additional disclamer" footnote 18 which reads "System requirements vary by application"... a "cop-out" which really means that all the functions may not work on your computer, which means if it doesn't work, you're stuck with it!  Even the Canon support tech was frustrated after an hour working with me and consulting his co-workers and reference sources.  So.... does anyone out there know of an ICA scanner driver, canon or 3rd party that might work for this Canon MX512?  The frustration level is high.....

I'd see if the older version of VueScan works for the MX512, it mentions the MX510...

Hmmm, I have ViewScan 5.2.19 on my G5/10.5.8 & I don't see that version there!?

  • Missing raw file driver for Canon S90

    I miss raw file driver for Canon S90. The software delivered with the camera works, but it doesn't work in finder, Aperure and so on, just in Canons own software. When will the driver be available for SL?

    Apple hasn't said anything about it, but they're always quiet on everything (I think this works to their advantage for new products, but it works to their detriment for product updates.)
    Anyway, they recently released the latest Camera RAW update and surprised a lot of people by not including the S90. Adobe had problems with the S90 -- images would "load" but looked poor. I can only guess Apple also had problems and decided to push it to a later date rather than hold up the whole stack of RAW camera updates people had been waiting on (typically they release an update with support for a list of cameras).

  • Missing scanner driver for Canon MG3560

    Hi there,
    I've installed the software for the Canon MG 3560 all in one printer as well as the Canon IJ scan Utility however when I try and launch the scanner utilty it comes up with an error message " A scaner driver supporting this software is not installed. Install it and try again. Code:15,230,0"
    And when I try and launch the Quick Menu that runs the printer the scanner section is blank.
    Does anyone know what software I need to install to support the canon IJ scan utility? Is it a mac os software install? The printer is working fine so its just the scnner that has issues.
    Cheers

    This is the log for the IJ Scanner installs - I cant see any install failure but there might be some other info here that makes sense to you?

  • Scanner driver for Canon DR-2580C desktop document scanner

    Hi
    Does anyone know if there is a driver for the Canon DR-2580C document scanner which will work with Snow Leopard? The scanner shows up in the System Profiler under the USB section. The Canon web site only lists Windows drivers for the scanner and a Google search was unable to find any reference to a Mac OS X driver. Any suggestions other than purchase a scanner which is Snow Leopard compatible?
    Thanks advance!

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    At this point in time, Canon only offers three models of DR scanners with Mac OS X support; the P150, the DR2010C and the DR2510C. Your DR2580C has no official Mac OS X support.
    So you could look at third party packages like VueScan or SANE, although these tend to offer support for the consumer scanners rather than the high volume business scanners.
    Or you could get a virtual machine application for your Mac like VMware Fusion or Parallels and run Windows XP, Vista or 7. This may prove the cheapest and easiest option if you don't need to scan all the time. But if you need to scan often then I suggest having a Windows computer permanently connected to the DR2580C and share the scans folder so the Mac can connect directly to it.

  • Lion Print Driver for Canon MG8150

    Can't find a Lion Print Driver for my Canon MG8150 Printer? Thanks.
    And thanks for answering my last question so quickly and accurately.
    Paul

    Hi Paul, I find none either, but...
    Consumer Inkjet and Scanner Products
    Important: Some older versions of Canon drivers will function with limitations on Mac OS X 10.7. Therefore it is recommended that you perform one of the following on Mac OS X 10.6 prior to updating to Mac OS X 10.7.
    Software Update - On the Mac running Mac OS X 10.6, perform a Software Update so that the Canon Printer Software Update v2.6 is installed and updates your existing printer drivers.
    Manual Driver Removal - On the Mac running Mac OS X 10.6, open System Preferences > Print & Fax and remove your Canon printer or scanner. Then after you upgrade to Lion use Software Update to obtain the latest Canon driver from Apple.
    Printer and Scanner Drivers
    The following Canon consumer devices have drivers that are included with the Canon Printer Software Update v2.6 and will be downloaded via Apple Software Update on Mac OS X 10.7.
    http://www.canon.com.au/Support-Services/Support-News/Lion-Support
    So try SWUPD.

    When I try to install my Canon i9100 printer on my HP laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Windows cannot locate a driver.  Visiting the Canon website, I find an update module for the Windows driver.  Canon says the printer MUST be installed using Windows Updater before their driver update can be installed.  I have tried everything, but I cannot get Windows to find a driver.  Windows Updater says that my computer is Up To Date.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • Can't use correct driver for Canon MF4140 USB printer shared by Windows XP

    Hi all,
    I have a Canon MF4140 printer connected to my Windows XP desktop machine via USB. The printer is shared and I can see it over the network with my MacBook running OS-X 10.4.
    I've downloaded the OS-X version of the printer driver from Canon, but I can't select it when adding the printer in OS-X, so I can't access any of the printer settings. I've selected the generic driver but that doesn't allow me to do double sided or 2-up printing.
    Is this because the printer driver does not support network printing, as the printer doesn't have a network interface?

    I guess this isn't clear on the iFelix page. To use any of the built-in network printing protocols on OS X, you must either have a postscript printer (postscript printers don't require a driver, just a PPD), or a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). So far, Brother is the only non-postscript printer manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. For every other non-postscript printer, you need a third-party CUPS driver. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print drivers (open source CUPS drivers), but your model isn't in Gimp-Print. You can look around for other CUPS drivers, but Lexmark hasn't been cooperative with driver writers. Here are the CUPS driver sources:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/
    http://www.easysw.com/printpro/
    http://www.printfab.net/
    You may find it easier to share from OS X.

  • Windows 7 64-bit driver for Canon Digital Rebel XT

    How do I interface my Canon Digital Rebel XT with a computer running Windows 7 64-bit?

    You are correct.  Canon does not provide a driver for Windows 7 64-bit.  You have to change the communication mode in your camera and then use Windows Photo Gallery or other software to transfer the photos.  Here is the response that I received from Canon tech support (it works):
    "To connect your camera to a Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer, you'll need to change the communication mode.
    To set your camera up for this, please do the following:
    With the camera disconnected from the computer, turn the camera on.  Press the "Menu" button.  Now select the [Wrench, Hammer, 2] tab.  Scroll down to "Communication" and press the "Set" button.
    Select the [Print/PTP] and press "Set".  This process is more completely described (and illustrated too!) on page 121 of your Digital Rebel XT Instruction Manual.
    Now connect your camera to your computer and turn the camera on.  Your computer should now recognize and have access to your Digital Rebel XT.
    Unfortunately, Canon software cannot communicate with the Rebel XT when operating in this mode.
    You may download your pictures using Windows Photo Gallery, or you may use a card reader to download images.  If you haven't already done so, you may retrieve and install this program from Microsoft's download.live.com."
