canon mp620 all-in-one scanner driver

I was able to download the latest canon printer drivers from the apple site, and the wireless printer now works but I was unable to scan!
The download states it was for printing and scanning ugh!!

Any Ideas

Thanks

mbp, Mac OS X (10.6), cannon mp620

The scanner driver included with 10.6 should work via USB and network. How are you connecting to the MP620?

I'm connected wirelessly.
The driver download from the apple site worked fine so I can now print wirelessly.

I needed to scan a document and I received a message that the scanner driver was incorrect.
The download from apples site says it was for the printer and the scanner. I thought this would have solved my problem but it didn't.

Do you think I need to reinstall Snow leopard disk? Are the drivers on the disc?

I am fairly new to macs, switched from windows and glad did.

Thanks for your help.

I don't think so. If you just download the scanner driver from Canon, then you will have all you need. Here is a link to the scanner driver from the Canon Australia web site.

Note that if you want to 'push' scan a document from the MP620 to the Mac, you will need to install the Canon IJ Network Tool. You can download from here.

Well then a big welcome to the Mac world. Hopefully this little hiccup doesn't put you off making the switch 🙂
