Q: I can't find the scanner on my Macbook Pro

Hello

I'm operating Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.2 Mavericks.  I'm trying to install the scanner part of my PIXMA MP560.  The printer installed, but the scanner doesn't show up.  I downloaded the drive for it but still no luck.  Any suggestions?

 

Thank you

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

    Try using Image Capture for scanning (it's in Applications).

    As arthur mentions, try using Image Capture...

     

     

    Launch Image Capture located in your Applications folder.

     

    Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.

     

    Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.

     

    You'll see this pop up menu:   Connecting this (device) opens:

     

    You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Import To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

     

     

    If you need help with the Image Capture software, click Help from the Image Capture menu bar.
