Since the recent update to Big Sur, my Canon Pixma Scanner will not work (non permission error message). Have been in touch with Canon who are aware of the issue but state I must contact Apple. Anyone have an easy fix for me please? Thanks
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
In desperation I went into Applications and deleted every possible printer & scanner driver that existed as an earlier download.
I also deleted all existing printers and scanners in my Settings/printers.
Then from the Canon official website in my country, I downloaded fresh printer and scanner drivers for SUR and the MacBook in question.
Somehow that got the beast started both for both print & scan function. I refrained from downloading any of the other desktop features (Garden, desktop menu, etc).
Hi there!!! Cannot thank you enough for breaking "the Spell"!!! Finally using the steps in the prescribed link, I was able to get my MX537 to print, scan and copy!!!!
So pleased to hear that! Happy to help... Enjoy!
I believe my Epson Scanner was working under Mac OS 11.5 but when the update to 11.5.1 none of my Epson Scanners are connecting. I hope they fix this soon. I can't even locate an EPSON Scanner.app on my machine.
First thing I did was go to Canon & download new driver (which apparently I’m not supposed to need), did nothing so rang them and they said they had received numerous calls re this issue and, as usual, I would need to take it up with Apple!
Would suggest opening a New Posting with your question. Piggy Backing will probably not get the Assistance you desire.
Thank you! This also fixed the issue I was having with my Epson WF-3720 (using Epson file instead of Canon).
