Mac no longer works with scanner

Luis, I was able to figure out that solution. Thanks so much. :)

You’re very welcome. This forum is where I found that solution. Thanks goes to Luis.

This all seems to be related with a scanner application not being signed.

There have been others who have posted the following solution:

In the Finder, press Command-Shift-G and paste

/Library/Image Capture

Locate the application with the name of your scanner there.

CONTROL-Click and choose Open. Confirm.

Hello Folks! I use a Xerox printer/scanner and ran into the exact problem, however I found a solution!

I had to enter the hard drive library, looked up Image Capture and located the printer driver. From there, right click on the driver, Get Info, at the bottom you’ll see sharing preferences and set everyone to Read and Write.

Also make sure you run the actual driver before running Image Capture. I think you need to run it everytime you want to scan so I just set it as a program to run everytime my Mac boots up. You can set this up in Users. Here’s a pic to clarify a few things:

I hope this helps everyone with this problem! Lmk if you need further explanation!

This was very helpful Luis! THANK YOU!!! I would just like to add that when I clicked "Open" nothing happened. I had to Get Info, UNLOCK it (in the lower right-hand corner) and then change the Privilege for Everyone from "Read Only" to "Read & Write". (And I'm not a specialist in ANYTHING, especially "Apple Watch"; not sure why this was assigned to my user... but will change it if I ever figure out how!)

I did get my Canon scanner working again. This helped:

It should only be necessary to launch this driver separately once.

There is nothing in this thread that has to do with Xerox printers and you should have started your own separate main post, so more responders can see it, including those with Xerox printers.

Excuse me for sharing my solution for literally the same error…

Thank you! This worked for me on my older Epson WF-3720.

Glad it works for you, too. I saw the idea originally in a post by Luis.
