Why can't I scan with Printer MX 850 to my IMac since I changed to Mountain Lion?

Hi! I have a Cannon MX850 printer/scanner. Used to be able to scan anything into .pdf to my IMac, but since I changed to Mountain Lion, nothing works. Has anyone solved this problem? Thanks in advance.

There is a printer driver and ICA scanner driver available from Apple, as per this article. So with the MX connected to the Mac via USB, both drivers should be downloaded from Apple and you should then see a Print and a Scan entry under the same icon in Print & Scan. Do you only have the printer icon in Print & Scan?
Also, for future reference, this is the Lion forum so please use the Mountain Lion forum.

  • Why can't i scan with my new Macmini

    I just bought a new Macmini & i cant get my Canon Scanner N676U to work, has anyone got any tips as it worked perfectly with my old macmini ?

    So, did you upgrade the OS latlely?
    Do you have a backup of the old OS in that case?
    It is supported by Vuescan...

    Try the Demo, he's really generous, you get to use it as long as you want until you decide to buy it!?

    What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
    You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
    All sales are final and there are no refunds.
    Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

  • Why can't I get my printer to print out a playlist from i-tunes? It used to work but now my printer doesn't seem to receive the "print" command.

    Why can't I get my printer to print out a playlist from i-tunes? It used to work, but now the printer doesn't seem to recognize the "print" command coming from i-tunes. The printer works for other applications!

    I  finally solved this problem after toiling with it for a couple of  days.  Solution:  Once you have  burned your CD you must go back into  iTunes to your music/playlists and select the playlist you just burned  and click file; print and you will  get the mosaics that we have been  accustomed to.  I was on hold with  Apple Support when I found this  myself.  Yes......!!! Problem solved..for me anyway.  Good luck!

  • Why can't I scan a document to pages so I can make changes?

    Why can't I scan a document on my HP Printer to my MacBook Pro as a pages document?

    Because scans are image files and not text files. You will need some sort of OCR software to convert the image to an editable document.

  • Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?

    Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?
    thanks,
    Simon

    First question that I am not clear on your answer about: Is the Apple ID itself a valid email address, and the same one that you have as your Primary email address on your account? If the actual Apple ID is not an email address, then that is why you are not able to sign on to iCloud or to verify it....it must be an email address.
    If it is an email address then:
    Update your OS to the latest version - 10.8.5
    Once you have updated, reboot the Mac and then go to Preferences>iCloud and try to sign on with your Apple ID again.
    Check Manage your Apple ID to make sure that your Apple ID/Primary email address is verified.
    If the problem persists, contact iCloud Support to see if they can provide you with an explanation of the meaning of the message. If the Apple ID has already been verified, then I'm not sure why you would be getting this messge:

    Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

    You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.

    Lyall,
    I have seen this before, a long time ago (several years), and I cannot
    remember how/if we resolved it.
    If this is an impotant issue to you, I suggest that you open a case with
    BEA support.
    Regards,
    Peter.

    This is a rather important issue, I have seen another post with a similar problem.
    While not being a show-stopper it certainly raises concerns.
    The application works ok until the application exits (in both development and
    executable form)
    Apparently this did not happen with Tux 7.1
    It does with 8, I do not have 7.1 so I have no workaround.

  • In the file menu why can't i open 'close', 'print', 'properties'?

    in the file menu why can't i open 'close', 'print' and properties'?

    I have a document open. I clic print, then i select 'more options' to print a partiel view (or 'active view') of the document. But i want to have it 100%. When i choose the size of the document, if i select 'adjust' the scale is 73%. If a select 'real size' then i have shades at both end so i don't have the entire page. If i choose 'reduce pages to ...' i get a 73% scale and if i select personnalized scale (100%) there is still shades at both end. So what do i change to get a 100% active view? On the late version i never had that problem. Thank you.

  • Why can't I communicate with both of my GPIB devices?

    I have 1 NI PCI GPIB board in my computer
    I have 2 identical devices (keithley 237) connected one at address 15 one at address 16
    and 2 different programs one program to connect with 15 and 1 to connect with 16
    after I tell the 1st labview program to communicate with 15 then I tell the 2nd labview program to communicate with 16. then both communications come back with error device timeout. one at a time, I can communicate find with either device.
    Why can't I communicate with two different GPIB devices at the same time?

    Hi mrutter,
    first I would try some other addresses, e.g. 5 and 11. 15, 16 could be
    a special address used by the controller.
    Are there any other devices on the GPIB? If so then there could be
    another instrument with the same ID. Do both (or all) devices show in
    MAX, and can you communicate with them in MAX (e.g. query a *IDN? )
    And are you sure that you *have* setup the correct addresses in the
    Keithley instruments (look in the manuals if you don't know how to
    change their addresses)? Some Keithley instrument are in local mode by
    default, and you must explicitely set them in GPIB mode.
    Sometimes, GPIB message termination can be an issue (although both the
    GPIB cards and the instruments seem to get more tolerant of this).
    Also, you must be very careful not to mix different versions of
    LabView drivers and LabView version. I once had three different
    LabView versions on a PC, it was terrible. We had to format the
    harddisk and start afresh since we couldn't remove all of the older
    versions.
    I first try all GPIB instruments in MAX. If all devices appear there,
    and I can query commands in MAX, then I usually write my own LabView
    drivers with the standard GPIB-read and -write VIs. I write them with
    my oldest LabView version (say 5.1), then I am sure they will work
    with all versions up to 7.1
    Actually I once had a project where *no* GPIB instrument worked 100%.
    We could never really find out what was the problem (it was probably a
    bad PC <-> Win98 <-> GPIB card <-> LabView 5.1 constellation).
    Good luck.

    Why can't i export with OR without taking language into consideration ?
    I'm from Denmark  and I need it just to convert into TXT with OCR with out looking af the language.

    You can't do OCR without knowledge of the language, because a crucial part of OCR is spell checking to test the possible text  extraction. Well, you could try claiming the language is English, but the result may be unhappy.
