TS3938 Can no longer scan with my MP800 Canon printer

I've seen lots of posts on this, and it is extremely frustrating that I'm starting to think it's just assumed that the owners of MP800 Canon printer/scanners will just toss out a perfectly good, little-used piece of hardware and buy something new. I've tried going to the HP site, loading the new drivers, etc.  I've also tried changing from MP Navigator to Image Capture, but nothing happens when I open the Scanner, except for an empty screen that turns completely white when I click on Show Details.
I am REALLY disappointed in Apple OS update.  In the PC world (which I bought a mac to get away from) I would just uninstall the entire printer, then re-install it and count on the correct drivers etc. to be loaded.  I've tried to find a way to do this on the forums, but no luck.  Is there any way to un-install the printer/scanner completely?  And then re-install it to pick up the new drivers/software or whatever, that would work?

Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers should resolve this issue.  Please perform the following to remove the currently installed drivers:  (If any items are not listed, move on to the next step.)
1. Open Finder
2. Open the 'Library' folder.
3. Open the 'Printers' folder.
4. Open the 'Canon' folder.
5. Send the 'BJ Printer' folder to the trash.
6. Return to the 'Library' folder.
7. Open the 'Receipts' folder.
8. Locate any items related to your printer and send them to the trash.
Leave the 'Canon Printer Drivers.pkg' file in the folder if it happens to be listed.
9. Return to the 'Library' folder.
10. Open 'Image Capture'.
11. Open the 'Twain Data Sources' folder.
12. Send any Canon files related to your printer to the trash.
13. Open the Applications folder.
14. Open the Canon Utilities folder.
15. Send the MP Navigator to the trash.
16. Restart your computer.
To get your MP800 Canon printer operating , please follow these steps:
Download  the following  drivers:
mcpd-mac-mp800-10_51_2-ea11.dmg
msd_-mac-mp800-12_13_3-ej7.dmg
mpnosx207ej7.dmg
Once the downloads are completed,   open each installer package to begin setup.
Once this process is completed, try scanning and printing with your MP800 Canon printer.

  • HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine.

    HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine. Have used this device several times over past 2 years on different wireless networks (at home) but usually at some point I lose wireless scan function but maintain wireless Printing.  I used to be able to reload the software and resolve the issue but now in this "new network" cannot get wireless scanning to work.   Setup software; original software (CD) and current download as well as "Print/Scan Dr"  hangs-up at "network check"  for hours.  Compaq laptop, Dell Laptop, Cell phones and Roku work fine thru network.  Scanner works fine with USB to Laptops.

    Which model Epsons are they?
    I'm assuming you're using Yosemite (OS X 10.10), and that the problem developed when you upgraded from a previous OS.
    (Your profile says 10.6.7 BTW).
    Maybe the scanning function is not compatible with Yosemite.
    You could try a few things:
    reset your wifi system:
    power down everything: modem, router, computer, printer/scanners.
    wait a minute.
    power them all up again, in that order: modem, router, computer, printers. Let each power up completely before going on to the next.
    try a factor reset on your printer/scanner (if there is such a function). You'll have to check your manual for how. If you do that you'll have to enter the wifi password in your printer/scanner, assuming you have security on your network.
    uninstall any printer manufacturer "utilities" that are on your Mac, and try Image Capture again.
    If it is a compatible software issue, you could try VueScan, but I've never needed to use it.

  • Can no longer scan with the HP Envy 4500

    I can no longer scan documents with the HP Envy 4500.  When I try to scan it times out and I receive the following error message:
    "Scanner communiocation cannot be established. Ensure your product is powered on, check the connection, and ensure your network is functioning properly. If these conditions are correct, restart the product and try scanning again." I use a wireles connection to the HP Envy 4500 and it is working fine as I can print documents with no issues. I ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it flagged the issue as a potential problem with the device driver. I uninstalled the HP software and downloaded the latest version from the HP site, installed it, and tha did not correct the problem. At this point, I am not sure what else to try and correct the problem. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for getting back to me
    If the printer will not make copies, the unit may have a "Scanner Failure", unfortunately, and resetting the router, or computer troubleshooting would not make a difference.
    You can try a power reset on the printer, to see if that will help:
    Power reset the printer:
    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.
    You can also try using a different wall outlet to see if this makes a difference.
    If the problem continues, contact HP's Technical Support directly to discuss your printer replacement options, as you would require a new printer if there is a Scanner Failure.

  • Can No Longer Scan With Canon MG5220 But Printing Works Fine

    Hello,
    I have not had luck with Canon so hoping my Apple community can come through for me   Here is my problem.  I have a Canon MG5220 "all-in-one" that I am able to print to just fine.  I was able to scan a year ago but something has changed and I am no longer able to scan.  I have all the Canon software and the error I get is as follows when using MP Navigator 4.0 EX:
    "Error 2.10 -  Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner is turned off. Check status."
    I have deleted and re-added my printer several times but that has not done anything.  I believe there was a time in the past when it was scanning properly that I had a separate printer icon under "Printers" on left of  "Print and Scan" sscreen for the scanner but not sure (can someone confirm?).  Regardless, I only have one now. 
    My printer is connected as follows: MG5220 is wireless to my FiOS Actiontec router and then hardwired Ethernet to iMac. I have turned Wi-Fi status on and off o Mac and that has not made a difference.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    epie

    Open Finder and navigate to Applications > Canon Utilities > IJ Network Scanner Selector EX and open the Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector EX utility. This utility will search your local network for the MG5220 and if found, should show something like below.
    If the MG5220 is found, ensure that it is selected - as opposed to "Do Not Use" - and then press the OK button.
    Now open MP Navigator and select the Preferences (as shown below)
    From the Preferences window, with the General tab selected, ensure you have the MP5200 Series Network set as shown below (which is for my wireless MG6250).
    If it is set, press the OK button to close the Preferences window and then see if you can scan.

  • HT1338 I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP.  HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' .  Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP.  HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' .  Does anyone know how to do this?

    HP couldn't find its own apps with both hands and a flashlight.
    As of Lion all scanning functions are incorporated natively in OS X. You can scan three ways:
    Use Preview: File > Import from scanner
    Use Image Capture
    (Preview and Image Capture are both in your Applications folder.)
    System Preferences > Print & Scan. Select your HP and use the Scan tab.
    If you have HP's "Image Zone" software installed, you no longer need it and it no longer works anyway.

  • After updating to the current versions of Adobe, I can no longer scan and send emails.

    After updating to the current versions of adobe, I can no longer scan and send emails nor can I open an attachment upon receiving an email.

    What exactly is "adobe"?  Adobe is the name of a company that has hundreds of software products, each with a distinct name.
    You are posting in the Flash Player forum; do you really receive emails with Flash attachments?
    Flash Player also cannot scan or send emails.
    Finally you give no information regarding your operating system, email client, etc.

  • With Mountain Lion I can no longer digitize with my pixma MG6150; any solution please ?

    With Mountain Lion, I can no longer digitize with my Canon Pixma MG6150. Any solution please ?

    If you are using the Preview application and it is not letting you scan then have a look at this post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19168365#19168365
    You could also try using the Image Capture application to scan.
    If you are using MP Navigator then you may need to update it to a later version.

  • I just updated my iPad 3 to ios 7.02 and can no longer sync with iTunes on my computer running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion, which may cause any number of apps on my computer to no longer work. Although I may consider purchasing a new laptop

    I just updated my iPad to IOS 7.02 and unfortunately can no longer sync with my MacBook running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion as this may cause any number of apps on my Macbook not to work at all or malfunction. Also my MacBook is 5 years old, and I was thinking about purchasing a new computer. I would like to decide when rather than be forced though. Does anyone have any suggestions for a work around? At the moment I do not subscribe to the cloud, and it looks like that is the only way I can back up my iPad now.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • After upgrading to OS 10.8.1 I can no longer scan from my Canon MP240 printer when it is connected to Airport Express.

    I can no longer scan from printer (Canon Pixma MP240) when it is connected to Airport Express, although printing is no affected. However, when connected directly to MBP scanning works fine. I have tried all the standard remedies; reinstalling drivers, resetting printer system, selecting sharing options, but no luck. Previous to Mountain Lion this function worked fine. Any ideas how to regain this capability?
    Thanks,
    J.

    I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

  • Just installed 11.0.5.5 and I can no longer sync with my iPhone 4 or my iPhone 5

    I just installed 11.0.5.5 and I can no longer sync with my iPhone 4 or my iPhone 5. Any thoughts? It went from accurately displaying my content to showing most of the content as "Other" and now says it can't sync because it can't determine the apps to sync.

    Hi,
    I have sync issue, too, but a bit different. When connecting my iPhone 4 and hitting the sync button in iTunes 11.0.5 (5), the synch process starts, gets stuck at step 5, then eventually finishes without any error message, but content (TV series / movies) are not updated on the iPhone.
    I already tried to power cycle my MacBook (Intel 13" running Mac OS X Lion) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.1.3).
    Was working perfectly before upgrading iTunes. Anybody has a solution to this yet?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I upgraded iPhone 6 to IOs 8.1.3 and I can no longer pair with my 2015 Toyota Highlander.  Upgraded to 8.2 and it still doesn't pair

    I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 8.1.3 and can no longer pair with either the phone in my 2015 Toyota Highlander or my Jawbone earpiece.  Upgraded to iOS 8.2 and still no resolution for the car, but now my Jawbone will finally pair with the iPhone.   Is this a known problem or do I need to get a different phone?

    Hi. You can reset the connecting system on your car to try or make sure if password's verifying is needed to connect.

  • After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?

    After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?

    apps are stored in
    C:\Users\<your account name>\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications
    their extensions are .Ipa  you can try doing a search on your harddisk
    unless you formattet it when you reinstalled
    but an app can only ever be bought 1 times on an appleID so if you try to buy them again it will give you a free download of the app and not charge you
    about sync then if you connect the ipad and click info tab and set it to sync your outlook data it should sync without any problems
