Canon "scan to" button no longer working
Hi there,
I have had a Canon MX700 for a few years now, and have generally been very happy with it - when it works.
One bugbear of mine is that the "Scan to" button on the scanner stops working from time to time. It will work magically for AGES, then....
Pressing the button shows "Set the PC to start scanning" on the printer.
This usually results in me spending hours removing, and re-installing Canon drivers/software, restarting my Mac(s), the Printer, my Wireless, etc, until I eventually get this going again. (Pressing the "Scan to" button results in a list of my Macs to scan to).
When the printer is doing this, scanning from the Mac(s) works no problems - using Canon's Scan software, or Image Capture. Printing works fine also. So, the Printer can clearly communicate to the Mac(s). It just doesn't allow you to initiate the scan from the Printer.
Can anybody suggest why this just stops working out of the blue? I am at a loss, and my wife is ready to kill me!
Thanks,
Nathan
