iMac and Canon MX882 AIO - will print, won't scan

You either don't have the scanner driver installed or if you have the scanner driver installed, then you don't have it configured for the network scanning.

So the first thing is to ensure you have the scanner driver installed. If you open Finder and select Applications, there should be a Canon Utilities and inside of here will be the IJ Network Selector EX folder. If you don't have this folder then go to your local Canon web site and download the scanner driver, not the iCA driver, for your MX882.

If you do have this folder then open Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector app. The MX882 should be listed and if so, change the selection from Do Not Use to Canon MX880 Series. Then click OK and open MP Navigator again.

Hello, I have the same error.

Macbook Air OS 10.7

Canon MX 410

I have the drivers installed but it wont scan through Wifi. It will only print through Wifi?

Any ideas?

Same as the OP; you don't have the MX410 scanner driver installed or, if you do have it installed, then you don't have it configured for network scanning.

So, for starters, here is a link to the scanner driver. With this installed you will have the IJ Network Selector EX folder located in Applications > Canon Utilities. Open this utility and the MX410 should be shown. Select it and click OK to close the window. Next, open MP Navigator and select the Preferences then General and for the Product Name, ensure the network MX410 is set.

that;s what I was missing 🙂

Thanks for the help, it worked!

Im havin the exact same problem but I have the scanner driver installled AND I have it configured for network scanning. Any ideas?

After following ur advice. I still was not getting the Scann to work over WIFI.

I found that it WOULD print and scann from the preferece folder, but not from Canon's software.

Turned out, I had Scanner sharing, tuned off.

System Preferences > Sharing Folder > Make sure both Printer AND Scanner are checked in.

I follow all these steps but the Canon MX 882 isn't listed as a scanner option even though it's hooked up.

I'm still trying too, but on a whim I fired up VueScan and it worked perfectly... Go figure...

I finally got my MX-700 to work with Image Capture under Yosemite.

Canon's software uses a TWAIN driver. To use the Mac OS apps, you have to install Canon's ICA driver:

Install the driver, then re-boot the Mac.

Then, turn off and turn on the device.

Then, in the Printers and Scanners contol panel, you have to add the device. (Even though it's already there as a printer, it has to be added as if you had a separate scanner.)

You should now see the Scanner as an option in Image Capture. In Preview, the "Import from..." command should now be active as well.

Thank you !!

spent far too long trying to get this work and came across the thread - also had to re-add as a scanner and share for it to work

:-)

Amazing! This worked! Thanks.
