SCANNING ISSUES: Canon LiDE & HP 3020 - HELP!!

AIM: to be able to scan documents on my Mac!!! (the Mac i am using is a PPC G4, using OS X 10.4.11)
I am tried to install a Canon LiDE scanner onto my office Mac, as i have a Canon LiDE scanner working on my home Mac through both Image Capture and Photoshop Elements (originally installed on an iBook, i then used Migration Assistant to transfer all files onto my Intel iMac - and the Canon LiDE still works no problem - i seem to remember when i was trying to set up the scanner about 4 years ago on my iBook that i had to install something extra to the operating system before the Canon LiDE would work, but i can't remember what that was - does anyone know???
As i couldn't get the Canon LiDE scanner to talk to my mac i then decided to give the HP 3020 a whirl, which is a copier, scanner and printer, although we have never used the scanning function - just the copier and printer. I installed the HP printer software from the original printer discs but i was unable to get my mac to see/ detect the HP printer for scanning, again using the Mac software; Image Capture and Photoshop Elements.
It would be really great to get one of these devices working!!! in the end i scanned the document on my home Mac, but i would like to get the scanning function working the same on my office Mac!? it is frustrating that something so simple has turned out to be such an annoyance! - please help!.
Oh - The HP printer and the Canon LiDE are both connected via USB.

Thanks for replying...
i have tried both these the CD and the website downloads, but can't get it to work. i was posting here wondering
A) if anyone used the same line of scanners (either HP or Canon LiDE)???
B) if anyone has a clue what the 'extra' install was i did on my iBook from my Original install DVDs, so that i could try installing it on my office machine so hopefully it will work.

Help with canon Lide 50 installation really stuck!

so after about two hours of trying to install my canon lide 50 again to scan some drawings I know now how bad canon is with its support with their scanner software. I have read a few very helpful sites but my problem is unsolved
this blog ( http://blog.dylanmullins.com/?p=254#comment-146) covers the problem by making two folders /Library/Application Support/Canon/ScanGear/Plugins and installing the new canon drivers there.
I did this and everything is in place correctly named but still my scanner goes unrecognized, I have the exact problem as this user.
CNYMIKE: I’ve installed the CanoScan Toolbox 5.0 for my Intel iMac but when I go into settings, the scanner doesn’t show in the dropdown because it can’t see a driver. I have the driver but do not know where to install it so that CanoScan Toolbox 5.0 can see it. Putting it in the same folder as the CanoScan Toolbox 5.0 does nothing. Neither does putting it in /library/application support/canon/ScanGear/plugins.
I installed canoscan toolbox 5.0 and this is the driver I got from canon http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0019057.asp?model=
if anyone thinks the drivers are not in the correct place or know a different driver please let me know this issue is beyond frustrating WAY TO GO CANON!

Are you connected to the scanner directly by USB or are you trying wirelessly?

Wireless canon scanning issues

I actually have this problem on Mac Mini (10.6), MacBook Pro (10.8.2) and iMac (10.8.2).
I installed a wireless printer scanner Canon MP495 when logged in as admin. When logged in as an admin I can print and scan as expected. When other users on any of these computers log in they can print as expected, but when trying to scan a message pops up "Can not locate scanner, connect scanner".
I can not figure out what I should do, and what to try. Any tip or hint of what to look for will be much appreciated.

Universal Scanning Program for canon lide 30 (older scanner

i have a canon canoscan lide 30 scanner. the drivers and toolbox are not supported with leopard. you can get it to work but theres alot of work arounds , turning off permissions on folders etc. so i was wondering does anyone know of either a free program or a inexpensive one, that i could use my canon lide 30 scanner with. i tried the program vuescan, cost 40 but wanted to see all my options cause i'm done with trying to make canon drivers and programs works

Elements 2 should work in 10.4.6. Install PE, then download an install the latest driver for your scanner. (Elements (any version) is not scanning software on its own--it's just that many scanner manufacturers include a PS/PE plug-in for convenience.)

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:

Canon Lide 35 No Longer works in Snow Leopard

Here some more specific results on what happens when you try to scan with the Lide 35 in Snow Leopard.
1) The ONLY choice is to use image capture. Canon software doesn't work
2) Detect Multiple images is completely broken
3) The image size is super small. )i e, the dimensions settings don't work right
4) You have to increase the resolution to 600 to 1200 in order to "fool" Image Capture into scanning at the proper size
5) As soon as you select Ovweview a second time, it stops working and gives you a blank scan. You have to log out and back in to get it working.
6) The only "workaround" I've found is to scan the same dimensions every time at 1200 dpi and edit and save the photo in another app.
I realize the Canon Lide 35 is an older scanner, but please Apple, none of us want to buy a new scanner just because we upgraded to Snow Leopard.
I've spend an hour on the phone with Canon who tried to be very helpful. This happens on all my Snow Leopard Macs (I have three) and it seems clear that this is an Apple issue.

Hi Tee,
I can confirm what you are saying. I am running MacOS 10.6.2 on MacBook Pro and when I was trying to use my Canon LiDE 35 after installing "lide35osx7721en.dmg" and also "cstbosx5013ej4.dmg" I am still getting the error message "driver not found". The same Canon LiDE 35 still works beautifully with my PowerPC G4 under 10.4.11. - I am not sure whether there is any other software? The only oddity when installing those files I noticed was that "CNQL1208_ClassicNotSeize.kext" would not load...
I have no solution to offer at this stage other than using the old Apple... Anybody any ideas??

Problems with using Canon LiDE 210 and OSX 10.7.4

I am getting nowhere with installing the Canon LiDE 210 scanner software on my 2010 MBP. All I get when I try to scan is "insufficient memory". I can scan using Image Capture and with the trial VueScan software so the problem looks as if it is something to do with the Canon software or the way that it installs on the MBP. Has anyone else had a similar problem or can anyone suggest a fix? Many thanks

Hellooo, I realise this thread is a year old and yet I'm having some real difficulty, hopefully this will fall on someones ears...
Firstly I have a mac mini bought recently and running on Mountain Lion 10.8.3 I tried downloading what is apparently the most up to date drvier and mp navigator for use with the CanoScan LiDE 210 meaning, that both the driver and mp navigator are compatible with Mountain Lion. Here is the following link I used that was forwarded to me by Canon:
http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100434402.html
http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0200153502.html
I install both of the downloads, plug in the scanner, and nothing... no noise, no beep nothing to say that it is on. I try and open the scanner through system preferences-printer/scanner-canoscan icon yet I am then presented with the message; "failed to open a session on this device"
Strange, I call canon back and they do not know what else to suggest apart from all the usual trouble shooting, the type that is very patronising and annoying... did you click the icon and press scan, did you click the install button after downloading the software... the sort of thing that might otherwise result in the beating, of ones own face with the phone
At the end of this call, and after forwarding me a couple more useless links to unworkable downloads they say that it must be the product, and that I should contact the seller for a replacement.
So I do, I contact Amazon, I get my replacement and voila, exactly the same problem.
I even try getting it going using my mbp which is on snow leopard, which means I can use the installation disc that it is packed with it, it makes a noise, it sounds like its turning on but then when I click "open scanner" ... nothing, no option to scan, no acknowledgement of the device other than the icon itself in system preferences.
Does anyone have any experience of this issue, does anyone know how I might resolve it?
Many thanks,
Jeff

Canon lide 210 not recognized in yosemite. Latest driver downloaded

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite (10.10.1) I have lost capability with my Canon Lide 210 scanner and Jam XT bluetooth wireless speaker.
I have downloaded and installed the latest Canon driver to no avail. Any ideas? Both were working great before I upgraded to Yosemite.

The scanner driver file is installed in HD > Library > Image Capture > TWAIN Data Sources. Here you will see the LiDE210.ds file. This package file contains information used by the scanner and removing the scanner entry in Print & Scan does not remove this file. You could trash this file (make sure you remove the entry from Print & Scan first) and then run the v17.7.1 scanner driver installer again.
If MP Navigator still fails it could actually be this application rather than the scanner driver at fault. Note that Image Capture uses a different driver called an ICA. So to test that the TWAIN scanner driver is okay you would need a TWAIN compatible application. And one such application is VueScan. Install this and see if you can scan without any error. If you can then it indicates the issue is with MP Navigator. If VueScan also fails then you do have a scanner driver issue.

Paper Jam and Scanning issues for the HP Officejet 6600

Hi @Uguessedit,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry to hear that your HP Officejet 6600 refurbished printer is worse than your previous printer, but I am happy to help!

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Crashes When Scanning with Canon DR-4010C Native Interface

When doing a custom scan in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2, I need to be able to show the Canon DR-4010C native interface so that it will auto-crop when I am scanning small documents such as receipts, etc. I have another model scanner that does it automatically (a Canon Dr-2510C) but I need that same functionality when I scan with the 4010. I can see the setting when I configure Adobe to use the scanner's native interface however when I choose "auto detection" on the size (in the scanner's interface) and press scan, Adobe immediately crashes. Please help!

Also, your log says: Acrobat.exe, version: 9.0.0.332
Looks like you have not updated Acrobat after install. The current version is 9.4.6. Also try updating Acrobat, Help->Check for updates

Canon Lide 80 - not working after 10.5.8 update

Hi,
Wondered if anyone has a workaround for getting a Canon Lide 80 scanner to scan using Photoshop Elements 6, it worked in OS X v10.5.7 previously as I copied the latest ScanGear CS 7.2X plugin into the Photoshop Elements plug-in folder then ran Elements through Rosetta and it scanned with no problems however this now does not work.
The plug-in is still selectable when using PSE6 but I get the following message "The necessary file could be missing or damaged, or the settings are incorrect. Reinstall the scanner driver. Scanner driver will be closed"
I have made sure I have the latest plug-in but to no avail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Andrew

Can't speak specifically to Photoshop Elements, but my LiDE 80 works fine on 10.5.8 using both Canon's CanoScan application as well as VueScan, both of which use the same plug-in architecture as Photoshop.
This is on a MacBook (Santa Rosa) after updating to Leopard 10.5.8 (it was previously running 10.5.4, where the scanner also worked).
I am using the latest ScanGear driver and CanoScan Toolbox installs from Canon's US support website, where the
filenames are LiDE80_7252MXEN.dmg and CSTb4130MXE.dmg respectively (the Canon site shows an update date of July '09, but in actuality none of the files have been updated since 2005).
I didn't do anything special -- the scanner continued working normally after the system update.
What I'd try is remove the driver (just to be safe, download & use Canon's driver removal utility from the same download page), search & nuke any files called Scangear on the machine (I'd also remove CanoScan if you have it installed), then reinstall from scratch.

Duplex Scanning from Canon MX7600 Not Recognized in Acrobat 9 Pro

I am trying to duplex scan in PDF docs with a new Canon MX7600 scanner. The utility that comes with the printer has a complete duplex scan utility which includes PDF docs, but limits the names to around 28 characters which is not enough for our naming conventions. Also, I cannot scan directly to Secure PDF's. Nor can I set it to automatically ask for Meta Tags.
The Acrobat Create PDF Scan only recognizes or offers the standard set which does not include duplex scanning. Canon tells me that the naming length limitation is built into the software design. They suggested that I contact Adobe and so I am.
How do I get Acrobat 9 Pro to duplex scan directly into Acrobat?
Thanks and all the best, Craig.

They sometimes monitor, particularly in the last month or so. However, most of the answers here come from users. In many cases you might find the answers from users to be more useful than from tech support, unless it is an off the wall problem no one has run into or tried. Typically when you scan from Acrobat, there is a settings selection on the window where you select to scan. That may be where you can find what you want. As far as I know, the information in the settings is only what is made available to Acrobat through the product twain driver.
The other suggestion to try to scan into another product, such as a graphics package, might help you get a better feel of what is possible. You might also check the manual if you have not done that already.

Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize Canon Lide 200 Scanner

My recently installed Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize my Canon Lide 200 scanner even though Adobe Photoshop CS2 does. I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
"ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

Acrobat 7 Pro Windows Scanning Issues for Non-Admins

Hello,
We have several users that are having scanning issues. WE recently removed administrator rights from our end users and now for some reason Acrobat 7 Professional doesn't show any scanners in the list when they try to create a PDF from the scanner. Windows shows the scanner in the scanners and cameras section of the control panel. Any help would be appreciated.
-Jared

I was able to install it on Win 7, even the 64-bit version. But neither AcroTray or the Adobe PDF print driver for AA 7 works on Win 7. That means you have to use workarounds to get things done if you succeed in installing. it is time for you to probably buy a new copy.

Canon Lide 30 Trouble Fix

Wanted to share this solution as we COULD NOT scan to Image Capture or Canoscan Toolbox 5, on Leopard, with our old Canon Lide 30 scanner.
We did find an old version of Canoscan Toolbox X (4.1.3) and IT WORKED like a charm with Leopard. We scanned 100 photos into JPEGs using the toolbox alone.
Don't know where you can find a scan of toolbox x 4.1.3 online, but if I find it, I'll addend a link.

Thank you so much. Several topics that came up when I googled the scanner declared that Canon Lide 30 with MacOS 10x was a dead-end trip. Following are more explicit instructions for newer Mac users.
1) make sure that users have read/write permissions in Macintosh HD/Library/CFMSupport (find this folder and command-I it to change permissions) Found this tidbit on another website.
2) download the Canon scan toolbox http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16292&mode=feedback&vid=84900
3) unstuff it. You might need to download StuffitExpander to do this.
http://my.smithmicro.com/mac/stuffitexpander/download.html
4) Finish the Canon toolbox installation
5) Download the most recent driver for Lide 30 from Canon's website. (this might change so log on yourself.)
I did not try the latest version of toolbox after I corrected the read/write permissions so, perhaps, Canon has fixed this. Who knows?
I have been able to scan everything I have wanted so far. Thanks again.
BTW: I changed to the iMac from HP & Vista because I was unable to use much of my computer investments after my XP system was stolen. I have been able to use my Palm Zire 71, my Canon Lide 30 scanner, a plethora of software unsupported on Vista. So far everything has been either directly on the iMac or supported via VMFusion and XP on the iMac. Truly an awesome experience.
