Dear Jhihath.
Unfortunately, this error indicates that there is an internal hardware issue with the printer.
Please try the following to see if we can resolve your issue:
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Unplug the power from the printer for at least 5-10 minutes.
3. While unplugged, remove any paper from the unit.
4. Double check for any obstructions found in the unit or paper paths.
5. If no obstructions are found, plug the power back in and turn the unit on.
If the issue persists, please contact our support group using the "Contact Us" link below for additional assistance.

PiXMA MP250 scan error 5,202,54. Prints and copy so scanner works. Has software problem. Need a fix.

Hi Horseheadjdj,
If you have any antivirus or firewall programs on your computer, please temporarily disable them and then try to launch MP Navigator again. Sometimes these programs can block the scanning process of the printer. If you still have difficulty opening MP Navigator, we can remove a file/icon on your computer named "My Websites on MSN" to see if this will resolve the issue. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Click 'Start' and then 'Computer'.
2. On the left-hand pane, click the down arrow beside Local Disk (C).
3. Click the down arrow beside Users to open the folder.
4. Click the down arrow beside your username (for example Joe).
5. Click the down arrow beside the AppData (Application Data) folder.
6. Click the down arrow beside Roaming.
7. Click the down arrow beside Microsoft.
8. Click the down arrow beside the Windows folder.
9. Click the down arrow beside Network Shortcuts folder.
10. Locate an icon named My Web Sites on MSN.
11. Right-click on My Web Sites on MSN and select 'Delete'.
After performing this process, attempt to scan. If you still receive the same error after removing the file, or if the file does not exist, we can try to temporarily remove files from a folder called TWAIN 32 that may be causing a conflict with the MP Navigator program to try and resolve the issue. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Go to Computer / My Computer and locate the C: drive, then double-click on it to open.
2. Locate the WINDOWS folder, then double-click to open it.
3. Locate the TWAIN_32 folder, then double-click to open it.
4. Inside of the TWAIN_32 folder, you will see a folder for your PIXMA MP250 printer as well as a WIATWAIN.DS file. If there are other files in that folder, you will want to move them to another location, preferably your Desktop by doing the following:
4-1. Click on each of the other items in the folder other than the the WIATWAIN.DS file and PIXMA MP250 folder to select them. You will want to hold the the CTRL key on your keyboard while selecting each of the items until all of the items except for the two referenced above are selected. Please be sure to leave the WIATWAIN.DS file and PIXMA MP250 folder inside of the TWAIN_32 folder.
4-2. With all of the items you want to move selected, please go to the EDIT menu and select the CUT option.
4-3. Go to your Desktop (main window that comes up when you start Windows with all of the icons on it) and right-click your mouse in any blank area, then choose the PASTE option. The items you selected from the TWAIN_32 folder should appear on the Desktop.
5. Try to launch and scan using MP Navigator again.

Canon Pixma MP470 all in one scanner printer "scan fail"

I found earlier posts that described similar problems as mine, they were marked as answered. I continue to have problems even tho I have followed earlier instructions from other members i.e. PAHU.
I am trying to use a Canon MP470 printer connected by USB cable to my iMac. I don't use it much and it has worked unreliably in the past. Today all scans fail except one which to me would mean that I have installed the correct driver for OSX 10.6. I am not sure if I have deleted the old preset and created a new preset for the new driver correctly. I hate to say it but I am a little unsure how to go about this. I don't remember having as much trouble before I upgraded to OS 10.6.3.
If anyone has some suggestions or instructions, I sure would appreciate them.

Okay, the Presets in this post did refer to the Printer preset. The poster had a black and white preset they had created with a previous OS and was trying to use it on Snow Leopard, which did not work because the printer driver was different on the new OS. This does not apply to the scanner portion of your MP470.
As for checking the scanner driver version, this is not an easy task. But the new driver installation typically overwrites the previous version. If you are not sure which driver install you did last, I suggest you run this v13.9 installer again. to ensure it is what you are using.
I would also suggest you have MP Navigator v2.04 or later installed, as earlier versions may not be that compatible with Snow Leopard. Again, running the newest version of MP Navigator installer should overwrite an older version.
If you have the latest MP Navigator and it is still not scanning correctly then please reply. At least you now know about Image Capture so if you did find that MP Nav stopped working, you are not totally stumped

Canon Pixma MG5250 scans and prints images wrongly stretched/contracted

hi!
i have a problem with my pixma 5250 which is an all in one. When i scan an image, what i get on my screen is an image with the correct width, but with a shorter height.
see this image:
i have tried two different programs to print, tried updating the driver, fiddled with scanning settings on the printer, tried several different scanning settings in the software, tried different images, but to no avail.
When i try to print, however, it seems that the effect goes the other way round: now the images i want to print are strechted along the vertical axis, but still of the same width.
see this image:
Anyone got an idea what could cause this problem? Is it a hardware thing? A driver malfunction? Maybe my OS (Win XP)? I must add that i have issues with my hard drive, and with my usb drives (i connect with my printer via wifi btw) .
Anyone has a clue? I'd be grateful.

Hi thom36,
Regarding the scanning issue, I suspect what is happening is that the scanner is incorrectly detecting the end of the image at the top, causing it to crop incorrectly. Assuming you are using the MP Navigator software to scan, you should see a checkbox in the scan window for "Scan with Scanner Driver. If you put a checkmark in the box, then press Scan it will open Scangear. Within Scangear, press Preview to preview the entire image, then drag a box around the part that you want to include. Press Scan to finish scanning. Everything within the box should now be included in the final scan.
Regarding the picture you are printing, the dimensions of the original don't match the dimensions of the printed picture, so I suspect what is happening there is that it's stretching the picture to fill the whole paper. This can occur when you select borderless printing. If you print the picture without using borderless printing it will give you a true reproduction of the image. One thing to note when you do this is to make sure that the size of the picture matches the size of the paper you are using. For example, if you are printing on 4x6 paper, which I am guessing is the case in the example you provided, make sure that the picture size is no larger than 4x6, or else the entire picture will not fit onto the paper when you print it bordered.

Scanning question

I just purchased Elements 8 and am starting to scan in some old photos from a HP photosmart printer. 2 questions for advice. 1) Elements can scan from the printer either by the ip address or the id address with TWAIN. When the TWAIN address is selected the HP scanning software is used. Both get my scans to Photoshop, but is one better? Also, does the dpi of the scan matter? The HP scanning software defaults to 200 dpi but can go higher. I am not sure I need this but I am a neophyte as this and want to get it right the first time. Thanks,

Hi,
The twain route launches the manufacturer's scanning screen. This has generally customized options for the specific scanner.
Yes, the dpi (resolution) at which you are scanning does matter. The higher the dpi, the larger the file size and generally better the image quality.
200 dpi produces fairly good results. No need to go higher and unnecessarily increase the file size.
Thanks/Tarun

Scanning Question: OCR software, Vuescan

Is there any OCR scanning software for the Mac besides OmniPage?
I'm taking a look at Vuescan for graphics scanning, but I couldn't tell from its web site whether it includes its own OCR program as well. Can anyone who uses it let me know? (I know I can email the developer, but since this is a non-technical question, I thought I'd check here first.)
iMac G5, 17", 1.6 Ghz PowerPC, Combo Drive Mac OS X (10.3.9) 768 MB RAM, 80 GB HD

Thanks for the reply mreed. I have looked at ReadIRIS Pro on versiontracker. From my research, I see that we Mac owners apparently have only 4 choices for OCR software:
1. ReadIRIS Pro -- $130.00 (yes, it is rather pricey when I consider that OmniPage SE came with my scanner for free). Ave. user rating on versiontracker -- 1.7 stars (beating OmniPage Pro X by a hair. OmniPage rated 1.6 stars). USER COMMENTS: Quirky, several said it crashes half the time (and not just on Intel Macs) and is very slow. One commenter attributed this to the fact that it's really a Windows program "adapted" for the Mac without a true Mac interface. Pluses: Excellent OCR quality: handles paragraph alignment, font style, and zoning better than Omnipage Pro X (though Omnipage has better OCR proofing).
2. WorkingPapers ver. 2.2.2 -- $99.00. Ave. user rating on versiontracker -- 3.9 stars. USER COMMENTS: Works with even the oldest scanners, easy to use (virtually no learning curve), and is really the only decent OCR out there for the Mac. Negatives: Doesn't appear to have a demo, there has been no update since 2004, and the recognition of previously scanned TIFFs is poor.
3. OmniPage Pro X -- $500.00 (gasp!) Ave. user rating on versiontracker -- 1.6 stars. USER COMMENTS: Has not been updated for Mac since 2002.
4. OCR engine in DevonThink Pro Office -- don't have a price or versiontracker rating. While Devon is a Mac-only company, they didn't develop their own OCR engine. They're using (or will be using?) the IRIS OCR engine. USER COMMENTS: The version of IRIS in DevonThink isn't all that flexible: "You can't pick and choose as you can in ReadIRIS, nor can you tell it what is a table and what isn't - and it's a LOT slower... DevonThink offers no real OCR options other than full automatic."
So, after looking into this, I agree with the consensus that Windows users have a lot more options in the OCR department. One reviewer praised Visioneer PaperPort (now owned by ScanSoft/Nuance, as is OmniPage), which he used to use on his Windows computer, saying it had an intuitive and elegant interface and simple but powerful features that he wishes Mac OCR developers would emulate.
If someone develops a really good full-featured OCR program for the Mac (please ... without the Windows 95-era GUI of OmniPage), that person would make a fortune. I wish someone would invent one that could let me keep behind-text graphics. In OmniPage SE, if graphics are behind text (like a watermark), you can keep one or the other in the finished document, but not both. Adobe Acrobat can turn image-PDFs into text-PDFs AND retain background graphics, but I don't want to pay all that money for it if that's the only purpose for which I'll use it. I guess I'll have to stay with my freebie OmniPage SE for now.

Scanning question with the Canon LiDE 110

Hello, I am trying to scan pictures with the Canon LIDE 110 using Photoshop Elements on a PC. The Get Photos/ from Scanner in Photoshop works great when i have the image set to save as a jpg' but when i set preferences to scan in and save the image as a TIFF, I get a message that says "Software for this Device could not be launched. The device is not connected or busy" What can I do to be able to scan in and save a TIFF?
Thanks, Walter

Hello wtneary.
Unfortunately, we are not familiar with some of the message you described.
However, our MP Navigator program has the ability to save images in TIFF format. Please visit the following link to download the program:

Photo scanning question: automatic cropping is imprecise?

Hi, I am trying to scan a large body of family photos, and have read a bunch of tutorials on many websites. I bought a Canoscan 8800 scanner for the job.
However, when I scan a photo and set the scan size to either a fixed size (3x5), or even "automatic" the scanned image produces unwanted edges that I will have to manually crop later. Is this normal? Isn't the point of choosing a fixed size or automatic, is that you don't have to re-sized it later?
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, of if the scanning software or hardware is the issue?
Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to manually crop each photo.

Hi jfk83,
I see you are having some difficulty scanning now since upgrading to Windows 7.
This document explains how to scan in Windows 7. There are multiple ways to scan a photo or document, using either the HP software that comes with your printer, or functionality built into the Windows operating system. This document provides instructions on scanning with either option. - How to Scan: Windows 7
If you continue to struggle with the scan task you are trying to perform, please let me know. I will gladly provide the best assistance I can. Thanks.

Virus Scan Question - using clam xav + OSX 10.3.9

When running Clam Xav virus scan,
the scan seems to stall (it just keeps working without moving on to another file) on a file that i cannot identify:
Desktop/.QT-0227-beff2e81-bfffe964-00
- What is this file?
- What should I do with this scenario?
(I have had viruses in the past, because I sometimes use macros in microsoft word)
MANY THANKS Y'ALL!
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

.QT-0227-beff2e81-bfffe964-00The period in front of the file name indicates that it is hidden (an invisible).
You can use a utility like OnyX to show invisibles and delete it or do it through Terminal.

AP invoice scanning question

Hello all,
We are currently scanning our AP invoices and viewing those AP invoices using a commercial product, Filenet.
We replaced FileNet in a different homegrown system with our own custom code solution and our manager wants us to investigate doing the same thing in SAP. Is anyone using a home-grown system to associate scanned images with AP invoices?
If this is a fool's errand, I would rather know that early so that I don't waste any time on something that can't or shouldn't be done.

General Scanning Question

Not sure this belongs in the Apple forums - don't see a forum here this fits.
I have an older Umax Astra 6450 FW scanner. Seems to do an adequate job, but have noticed from time to time I have to remove the glass bed and clean it. Some how a 'haze' develops on the under side of the glass. Also, I wonder about it's speed when I want a high res photo scan. It's been a while but memory says it can take a minute or longer. Does the cpu have bearing on scan speed? I have pretty much only used Vuescan as my software.
I'm intending to put it (or another scanner) through some grueling paces soon, I would like to scan decades worth of old photos. I hesitate to guess how many, but could be 1000.
Pointers, tips, suggestions .... maybe there's another forum somewhere I should try this?
Thank you

It only supports Mac OS 9 which won't run on a MacBook Pro, and Windows XP, which will during Boot Camp. If you are going to make thousands of scans, you would do well to find a compatible feeder scanner, if you can find one that keeps the photos flat. Epson makes a few that might work.
Pardon me, but I don't know what 'It' are you referring to? It - the scanner and It - the software (Vuescan) work fine on my MBP 10.5.6
Please, I did a quick google search of 'feeder scanner' and didn't learn much. Could you expound a bit on why you suggest the feeder type? Is it a speed issue, quality issue??
Thank you for the reply.
I just did a sample scan at 300 dpi and it took about 20 - 30 seconds (got distracted as it finished).

Dell MFP 3115cn printing info and scanning question

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a printer driver available for this printer from Dell's site.
It worked with Leopard & Snow Leopard.
For scanning, I have no idea how to get that to work with Leopard or Snow Leopard.
Does anyone know how to get the scanning to work between Mac OS X & Dell MFP 3115cn?

Dell presumably used the engine of another manufacturer for their printer. Find out what printer's engine they used, and you may be able to find comparable drivers to work with it. For printing, see my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
For scanning, see my other FAQ*:
