Uninstall Scanner Drivers

Hi. I'm hoping someone can help me.
I used to use a Canon scanner, which I have no replaced. I noticed that I still get the drivers appearing briefly in my icon dock when I start the machine, so I assume they're running a process that I no longer need.
How do I get rid of them? They're in the Users / Shared / Library / N067U folder, and is called 'N067U Bundle'
Deleting doesn't work - because they're in use on startup, so can't be deleted.
Many thanks.
Richey

Might start with >SystemPreferences>Accounts>Log-in items
Remove the the Canon from the list by using the minus sign. You can kill the active process in Activity Monitor or reboot and delete your folder.
See if this does it, if not we can go deeper.

How do I uninstall print drivers that do not work?

I've downloaded the HP drivers for 10.6 from here
http://support.apple.com/downloads/HPPrinter_Drivers_for_Mac_OS_X_v106
However, I am still unable to get my HP PSC 1400 to print via the Time Capsule. Since the driver package ended up being +500 MB, is there any way that I can uninstall these drivers to regain that space?

So the printer drivers for the PSC1400 series unfortunately did not make it onto the DVD. They will be available through a software update at some point in the future. You should able to install the 10.5 solution to get basic functionality working again. As for deleting the files, yes there is a way, but it still leaves some of the files laying around so software update won't work.
If you want the space though, most of the files are in /Library/Printers/hp. That being said the software update to provide printing support will probably put most of them back.
Just trying to help.

Windows 8.1 can't use older Brother DCP8040 network scanner drivers

There are a lot of older multifunction centers and scanners that will not scan across a network to a windows 8.1 pc. Upon migration to 8.1 many of us are losing our ability to scan across our networks. I have a lot of Brother DCP8040 machines
out there. Brother refuses to rewrite and support network scanning capabilities under win 8.1 for its older machines. The drivers we now have support network scanning under XP, Vista and win 7... but not under win 8.1. Win 8.1 cannot
find the scanner on the network. I can connect a DCP8040 directly to a win 8.1 pc, load the drivers and both print and scan. I can print across the network, but cannot scan. Again, windows 8.1 cannot find the scanner on the network.
Anyone know of any 3rd party solution where the older scanner drivers can be used under win 8.1? My clients refuse to migrate to win 8.1 as it means they have to trash the older MFC's and make considerable investments in new equipment.
I am reading that the same problems are being experienced with older HP, Epson, and Cannon scanners. Someone has to come up with a generic solution.

Maybe you've been at it too long. That is an answer/comment in typical MS big business mentality. You are dramatizing the whole thing to suit your premise. You are overestimating the time necessary to write the driver and you are understating
the significance/size of the problem and the potential return. Stocks of the Brother DCP8040 are still being sold new and refurnished. Literally millions of other brands and models are being affected. So it is not like these machines wont be around
tomorrow. Its not like the problem is not significant enough to draw attention.
If you've really been around that long, go back and think about when you started. If I had a dime for every solution that was sold as freeware "as is" with no support and the condition "if it works, if works, if not,
sorry". But so many have worked and have provided a solution.
I am not suggesting that anyone should jeopardize their personal or corporate well being or devote their entire work week to solve the problem. There are many out there who will write the thing and put it out there as freeware, collecting
donations, just to see if they can do it or help the situation. There are those who even relax buy doing such things, "solving the problem." I mean, if it takes 5-40 hours work, I would be surprised. I myself can write, but I just don't
understand enough about the workings of a printer driver across a network to do the job.
Again, WHERE ARE YOU? And the proof in my words would be for someone to take the task and do it. Again, HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?

Epson 3170 scanner drivers for Yosemite?

Hello
I tried to find my epson scanner 3170 driver in mac APP store as is suggested in epson web page:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=25021&infoType=Down loads
But nothing from epson appears in my updates...
Anyone knows how to get the driver for epson scanner 3170 for Yosemite?
thank you

The OS doesn't download scanner "drivers." If the scanner is ICA compliant, you can scan with Image Capture. If it is not, or you wan to use Epson's (or anyone else's) software, you have to download it from them.
There is an ICA driver installed for the Epson Perfection 3170 as noted here: OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support

Epson Scanner Drivers

With my new iMac using Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I find I cannot use my Epson Stylus Photo RX620 scanner using Apple Image Capture software.
I can take an overview, but cannot capture the final scan because a scanner error occurs.
It suggests updating the driver, but Apple's update server has been unavailable for some time now for downloading printer/scanner drivers.
Epson's scanner software is unavailable for Mountain Lion.
I've tried downloading the entire Epson driver library to no avail.
Using my MacBook with Snow Leopard, I have no problem using this scanner with Image Capture.
Suggestions appreciated.

Edward, I am 99% certain that you will.
From looking recently at the Epson site, their mention of Intel macs is to inform us that their drivers now also work with the dreaded Intel Macs despite Rosetta.
It will certainly work with OS 10.4.6 - I have the Epson Perfection 3490 and that works a treat.

Downloaded Canon printer/scanner drivers for Canon PIXMA MP520 and MX860 on Mac Book laptop, and they worked. However, when I downloaded the same two drivers on Mac Book Air, neither worked.

Downloaded Canon printer/scanner drivers for Canon PIXMA MP520 and MX860 on Mac Book laptop, and they worked. However, when I downloaded the same two drivers on Mac Book Air, neither worked.

I wasn't aware that VueScan charged a yearly license.
You simply launch Image Capture and if the scanner is recognized it will be listed in the SHARED list in the left display column. Select the scanner name and the app will start an overview scan. You will also see a list of scanning options in the right display column (resolution, paper size, file output format, etc.
The above description is when everything is working correctly, which has been the case for me.
Good luck.

I have down loaded printer,scanner drivers and 2 applications Navigator and Network from Canon's website. I cannot seem to get these to run althought the printer works when connected to the Mac with a LAN cable Canon's documentation is useless because it relies on downloading a disc which you cannot do without a CD drive that MacBook Air does not have. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks

How to uninstall print drivers Canon MF4150 issues

Hello all, I am having a nightmare of a time getting my Canon MF4150 to print. It looks from all of the threads on here it was a less than ideal choice for a Mac owner.
When I first bought the unit I managed to get it to print, everything seemed peachy.
Problems arose when I wanted to use the unit to scan. I downloaded a variety of third party software and drivers in an attempt to get the scan function working. I had mixed results, and this process seemed to upset the printing side of things. Once I scanned a document, the printer would then not work.
I abandoned the idea of scanning through the MF4150 and have gone back to dedicated Epson scanner.
Since then I have not had any luck getting the printer to print again.
I have gone through all the MF4150 related threads on these boards I can find, and followed the process to installed outlined here - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7657893#7657893 but to no avail.
I really just want this thing to print and it's driving me nuts.
I have the printer attached directly to my MacBook Pro running 10.5.2. I'm not trying to print through the Airport.
I would like to know how to completely uninstall any UFR II drivers and related software / information and start this process from the beginning again.
So far, using the answer provided by PAHU here https://discussions.apple.com/message/7657893#7657893
I have -
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
> DONE
2. Select the MF4150 printer and press the minus " - " button to remove the printer. Do the same to any other printers that are in the printer list.
> DONE
3. Hold down the Control key and click in the empty printer list. A window showing 'Reset printing system' will display. Click this.
> DONE
4. Close the Print & Fax utility.
> DONE
5. Run the Canon UFR2 v1.70 installer and select Uninstall when the Easy Install menu appears
> This is where I get snagged. I'm not offered a Uninstall option. I have attached a screen grab of the window I am presented with. I am currently trying the "o1141enx_m_ufr224" version of the UFR driver. I have continued to complete the points below regardless of the fact i cannot uninstall.
6. Restart the Mac and run the v1.70 installer again to add the UFR2 files back onto your Mac
7. Go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Select the Mac OS X partition in the left pane and select 'Repair Disk Permissions'. When this has completed, quit Disk Utility
8. Open Print & Fax and add the MF4270 again
9. Open TextEdit, type some simple text and select to print.
10. Report back if the above doesn't get you printing.
I have also attach a screen grab of the process I go through when adding the printer.
Any help with this would be amazing. I've tried everything I can think of.
My latest idea is to try and remove any trace of previous printer drivers and go from there. You can see in my list of available drivers in the file attached I now have all sorts of UFR drivers in the list.
Again, if anyone can throw me a line on this that would be great.
Thanks & Regards
Coz

Hello Coz,
It's been a while since you've posted, I hope you have not given up. I was having grief with my MF4150 as well, but got it working. There is a more current driver - search for Mac_UFRII_V230_uk_EN and install it.
Then, when you go to add your printer through System Preferences > Print & Fax, make sure you click the "default" icon in the top of the dialog. It should show your Canon MF 4100 series , then use the bottom drop down menu to choose your driver and select Canno MF410 Series UFRII LT (UK) from the list.

I finally solved my Canon LiDE Scanner Drivers install problem

I see there are many threads about LiDE (20/30/80 etc) Canoscan scanners no longer working under Snow Leopard. I had so much trouble and so many re-installs that I was wondering if 64-bit was never going to function with the old (2003) Canon software and drivers. My error was rudimentary - I failed to properly uninstall the scanner driver before I reinstalled. Here's how to clean install LiDE software:
Go to the website and get the 2008 or 2009 downloads: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=SupportIndexAct
Start with selecting your Canon scanner series. Next click "OS" and then "OS X". The next part is annoying in that you have to download 3 things, but each one requires a licence "agreement" - and the refreshed page is a little clumsy to work.
When you have downloaded the latest software - use the Canon uninstall software first. It takes a few minutes to finish, but it will finish. Next install the ToolBox software so that the Driver will have a place to go later. Next install the Driver.
I believe you can do the above if you already have the ToolBox (without removing the ToolBox). Just properly uninstall the Driver and then install the newest 2008 or 2009 Driver from the Canon website.
My mistakes from the beginning were: 1.) to install old drivers, then to 2.) install the newer Driver OVER the old Driver, or 3.) to install the Driver first (before the ToolBox).
I was sooo surprised when it finally worked - I couldn't believe these details matter so much!
Cheers

This didn't quite work for me — almost but not quite.
Download the relevant drivers, the Deldrv program and the Toolbox from Canon as suggested.
First run the DELDRV uninstaller.
I found that this did not properly deal with everything! I could load the Scan program but everything crashed when I pressed SCAN. So:
Delete any existing Scan Toolbox from your user directory. — use APPZAP if you have it.
Install the Toolbox.
Install the relevant driver. I received an error message to say that some files could not be found on installation. Despite this the installer returned the installation complete message.
If Canoscan still refuses to work follow this:
Open two finder windows (or use Path Finder) so that you have the LIDE (or driver) folder open in one and Route - MacintoshHD/Library/CFM Support in another.
Open this.
In the driver's folder open Intro Lib_SFM Support.
Copy these over into the Library/CFM Support directory (even if the files look as if they are identical).
r
Have a good look through the diver folder. It is quite easy to find where some of the folder files fit into the Library structure but you should find most of these are there already.
For me it was the installation of the CFM files that cracked it !!!

Deleting Scanner Drivers

Hi - New to Mac, and I just downloaded the drivers for my old Epson 2450 photo scanner. The bundle contained drivers for four other Epson scanners and I ended up loading all five. Not that it's a big deal, but I like to keep as much junk off of my hard drives as possible. Question is: how can I find and delete the drivers for the four unneeded scanners?
Thanks!

I had the exact same pet peeve. I finally resorted to using the Epson install/uninstall dmg file. I uninstalled all models then did a custom installation selecting only the 2450 model.
It took a couple of cycles of quiting applications, logging off and restarting my scanner before my mac finally recognized it and allowed me to go straight into the scan mode without first selecting a model type.
