Solution to canon scanner software not working

I have a Canon Lide 90 scanner, and had a heck of a time getting it to work.
The scanner came with bundled softare (Scan gear -the driver-, MP Navigator EX, Arc Soft photo studio, etc...) and even if I followed canon's instructions step-by-step, I couldn't get it to work with its own software.
The only thing that worked was to delete all other scanners that has been used on my computer.
How to do this:
1. Go to your hard disk
2. Open Library
3. Image capture
4. TWAIN data sources
5. 'move to trash' the other devices ( I had an HP scanner and 2 other Canon scanners listed in there...)
After I deleted the other scanners, keeping the Canon Lide90 I was using, everything started working perfectly. I didn't even have to restart or reinstall a thing!
Yours truly,
Relieved.

Nice bit of trouble-shooting. Thanks for sharing the final solution.

Apple scanner software not working with HP

HP claims that the Apple Scanner Software on PowerBook is not working properly with the HP scanner

Is this a question about the scanning software in the MacBook Pro computer shown
in your post's lower boundary area, or do you have a PowerPC G4 PowerBook, too?
There may be a newer or alternative driver for a recent version of OS X, that the
older obsoleted PowerBook can't run; but a later supported MacBook Pro, can.
Issues with Apple products, software or hardware that may elicit comment,
can be addressed to Apple Feedback... in case you want to tell them direct.
Mac OS X - Feedback
If you have posted in the vintage/obsolete PowerBook notebook ASC discussion,
by accident, Hosts could relocate this thread to one more appropriate, on request.
You may have to look into alternative drivers or software for scanners, if whatever
Mac you are using with the HP scanner is unsuitable. The older PPC based Macs
can't run an OS X version past Leopard 10.5.8. With a later MacBook Pro running
Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, you may have difficulty if HP does not support it...
Drivers for current printers & some scanners may be included in Mavericks; but
for users of older printer/scanner/copier all-in-ones, bits may be left behind. If
the HP product is older, a different version HP scanner driver may work. There
are a few open source drivers available, however I do not recollect the web site.
Please make clear what version HP product, which Apple computer portable, and
what OS X version, your discussion actually pertain to. Some users refer to a
MacBook/Pro as a PowerBook; and for a time, a MacBook as an iBook. Oh well.
{edited & re-posted -- after accidental reference to an unreleased software version}
Good luck & happy computing!

I downloaded yosesemite and now my canon scanner will not work. any ideas ?

Canon does not have any software updates, and mentioned that the driver should be in my operating system.

You need to download the Yosemite drivers for the scanner or use Apple supplied drivers, if said drivers do not exist, you will have to try a third party alternative such as VueScan or the like. See this website for a list of Canon Scanner models supported with VueScan:

Hello parvenza,
It sounds like you are experiencing issues with your Canon scanner, I'm sure that is frustrating. I have found an article with some resources that may help get your device back up and running:

hi,
recently i have installed new OS windows 8.1 for my HP PAVILION DV6 laptop, but my bluetooth and finger print scanner is not working. can any one suggest me solve my problem..
txs
best regards

Hi @sam1211 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook and Bluetooth and HP Simplepass complications since doing a Windows upgrade. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application. Just to make sure all drivers and software are updated as well.
Here is a document on troubleshooting and using Bluetooth if needed. Under the tips for finding a Bluetooth device, there is a section on making sure the wireless communication is turned on. This is an important section.
Here is another document with some great information about Bluetooth fixes.
Here is a link to troubleshoot the HP Simplepass software.
The HP SimplePass Identity Protection Software must be updated to v8.00.57 or later. Here is a link to download the latest. You will have to uninstall the old software.
Hope this helps you with the Bluetooth and HP Simplepass.
Thanks.

To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP LaserJet M1522nf is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Enterprise Business Community.
The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime:

After upgrading to maverick my epson WF-2540 scanner will not work. There are no upgrades showing so what do I do?

After I upgraded to Maverick my Epson WF-2504 scanner will not work. There is no software update showing necessary either. I have gone to the Epson website but it doesn't offer a download. It tells me to go to "software update" ??? Any suggestions?

Thanks Arthur,
I was hoping for a good bubble bursting, but I tried that HP "update" as soon as my printer stopped responding. I really really wanted my bubble popped.
One needs the Apple supplied driver for this work. It will not work because the driver to basically function on the updated Mavericks is not supplied by Apple Updates, so the HP driver that stops printing an extra page is rendered useless. I spent, wasted two days going back and forth between Support threads, HP chat and on the phone, through all the Mac channels where I was told that the 2011 HP was antique. HP said Apple had the drivers. So, they pointed a finger at one another with this unlucky customer caught in the crossfire. HP said Mac did it and Mac said HP did it. BOOM ! goes the guy in between who spent a good bit of money to have good equipment. What is wrong with expecting a printer to last beyond 3 years, or for a back up drive to last more than 3 years?
I do appreciate the attempt to help though. It was here in Discussions where I was guided to the gimp driver, drivers which in the past always worked when needed but in this case something wicked about Mavericks prevents it from working. No matter how many times HP says it works on their site all you have to do is try and then speak with customer service to find out that in a parellel universe this may logically hold. It does not hold here. If it were the case that by working in Lion it would work in Mavericks then there must be something wrong with me. But why, APPLE, is it that one day it works, do the update and then it does not when Lion was the previous OS? I did Everything, every single thing recommended by people who had good ideas and wanted to help but all too often the facts tell us nothing of the world. Facts are tools used to decieve, the world is where it works or does not work and in this case Mavericks has cost me close to $300. Probably not a big deal in some cases, but money is money. When it is gone it is gone.
I followed the complete uninstall, going into library and removing all HP, then restarting and lo and behold HP driver for 4500 not only was not present but along the way my 500gig back up drive died, as in dead, nothing.
Of course I will not buy another HP product. If you go to the list of drivers Mac says it carries the HP Officejet 4500 wireless may be present but is not carried by Apple. I have tried Apple update over and over. What I have done is wasted my time and money. In one fell update I lost a printer and a back up drive. No storms, no loss of electricity, no boogie men lurking, no malware, no gremlins, nothing but an innocent customer updating when Apple said "update". Sure it is serendipity that both my printer and back up drive died on the same day at the same time following the Mavericks update. Who am I but a loyal customer? I must be stupid because my equipment stopped responding after the update. It is not new that there are bugs and glitches following updates. I was a beta tester for OS X, it wiped my computer clean, but I understood, it was beta.
A friend told me the same about planned obsolescence in that since printers are cheap and ink is expensive they don't really care about customer satisfaction. Three years old is antique, out of date. We should and must all be angered by this hatred for the customer shown by manufacturers across the board. Blaming the customer is ridiculous and absurd but not unheard of, in fact it has become the rule of thumb from the other side. The customer is innocent. All we want is to buy premium equipment and to have it behave in a manner befitting the cost. I am an Apple user since 1994. I designed a restaurant on a 333 mhz black and white Mac. You know, the big floppy disc one. I am not new to Apple. Fiercely loyal for 20 years. This is the most angered I have been by the flippant attitude shown to us all.
Thank you for giving the links and hopeful advice. I tried them all when I first had the troubles. The good people in discussions, not the Apple plants, but the users, tried their best. I thought that by coming back later there would be updates and new links that would help. But no. Maybe one day. HP lost a customer, it means nothing to any of the manufacturers when a customer is ridiculed by their cynical attitude towards the customer. Maybe there will be someone else to come along here that has had similar experiences and found a way to fix. Used to be a gimp driver could do the trick. Used to be a way. I fear we lose control of our equipment more and more every day. This is not a rant. It is a somewhat sad expression of having been ripped off. Discussions here have helped in the past but the more things advance the less we matter. And as in the past when I was mad about an Apple failure a member sent a fix and I printed the fix for others to use in return. We help one another in the best of ways. Please spread the word, maybe there will be a fix to show up here sometime. I kissed my iOmega back up drive and the 500 gigs of writings, photos, backups and music goodbye, gone forever, poof! But the HP printer is still here on my desk. I don't want to give up hope.

Scanner is not working properly

My scanner is not working properly .It used to work properly .Recently I had just changed the Black catridges with new ones .The catridges were purchased from HP online store itself .
I am not sure whether the issue is occuring after the catridge replacement .Whenever I am trying to scan I am getting a completly black page with some stripes towards one end ..

Welcome to the forums @Sangeetha123 !
I read your post about the scanning problems you're experiencing with your Deskjet Ink Advantage 2060 when scanning to your Windows XP system, and I hope to help you!
I want to start off pretty basic and have you make a copy from the front of the printer. Make a copy in black and white, and also a color copy. Please let me know what the results are from making those copies.
If there is any issues with the copies, try a power reset (below instructions), and make sure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors.
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
I hope to hear back from you!

You need to be more specific about which software applications you're using, the versions and what happens when you try to open them.
It would also be nice if you could include which model MacBook Air you're using.

Hi rokibinu,
If you are getting errors on WIA - Windows Image Acquisition this is a windows based program. Run the steps below to correct the errors on WIA, and then download the new version of Print and Scan doctor to see if you continue to have issues on WIA scan.
Follow the steps below to check the WIA Service:
1. Type services.msc in run or search program and files
2. Scroll down to the WIA Windows Image Acquisition
3. Make sure that this service is running. Click Stop, and then Restart to make sure
4. Restart the computer
Restart the Dependencies services:
1. Click on Start, in Search box type “services” without quotes.
2. Scroll down until you see Windows Image Acquisition (WIA).
3. Double click on it and go to the tab called Dependencies.
4. 2 services should be listed.
5. Exit that window and look for Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
6. Make sure it’s on manual or if it is on Auto, just leave it. Make sure the service is started though.
7. Go to Shell Hardware Detection and Double click.
8. Set the Start up Type as Manual and hit Apply.
9. You should be able to Start the service by hitting Start.
10. Now you are done and the Twain Manager should be working and not give you an error. This should fix your problem
11. Print and Scan Doctor v 4.0

What A3 scanner will not work with CS6

I cannot find a solution, my exisiting A3 Mustek scanner will not work because Twain is no longer supported. OK what do I replace it with? Can any body help, because photyoshop and scanners are a marriage of necessity!

You will have no alternative but to wait for Epson to update their drivers to be compatible w/Mavarick. Why not call them (tech support) or send them an email?

Canon pixma mp600R not working after security update

Hi,
yesterday apple software update installed the last updates for my intel imac with 10.4.11. After that my canon printer is not working via airport. USB works fine. the networking utility sends and receive pings to the printer.
Tried to reinstall with the canon network tool. after checking of the airport signal (good) the printer utility open but I cannot add my printer, because its not shown.
does have anyone a idea to get the printer working wireless again?
P.S. My ibook prints pretty fine wireless to the canon. So its not a airport problem.
