I just upgraded to Moutain Lion and now my
CanoScan LiDE200 scanner does not work. MP Navigator EX 2.0 keeps crashing.
Does not work now? Upgrade does not show any new drivers. The Canon site shows it is compatable with 10.8 but does not list any drivers.
I really need to use the scanner. Any suggestions? Thanks.
CanoScan LiDE200-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion, MP Navigator EX 2.0 crashes
You could try removing the scanner from System Preferences/Print & Scan. Then add it back. It may be best to log out and then back in before adding it back. May or may not help.

If you are not able to get MP Navigator working then see if you can scan using Image Capture. I have a LiDE 210 and this is working fine with Image Capture on 10.8.
Thanks, that worked. A big help.
I downloaded MP Navigator 2.0.6 from the Canon site:
I lied and said I had Lion because this software is not be listed under Mountain Lion. I had been running verson 2.0.4 and that had the crashing behavior you described.
(I also downloaded MP Navigator EX 2.0 Opener -- not sure if that made a difference).
Anyway after installing the new code, which triggered a reboot, all is well.
I was not happy with the Image Capture solution which produces a Jpeg. For document scans, I wanted the PDF option.
Thanks that works. Nice to have MP Navicator EX working again. It looks like Canon just posted driver and software for Mountaion Lion. I still had to download MP Navigator EX Ver. 2.0.6 (Mac OS X 10.2/10.3/... from the Lion drivers to get MP Navigator to work. Also had to change my security settings to open it as that version did not seem to be regisgtered with Apple.
Hi Guys-
I have a Canon MP Navigator MP 600 that is having the same problem, MP Navigator 3.0 continues to crash in Mac OS Mountain Lion.
I've followed the links that you've posted above, and Canon doesn't even offer an MP Navigator update for the scanner I'm using.
Any suggestions?
THANK YOU!
I too had the same problem with my old CanoScan LiDE 200... upgraded to Mountain Lion then MP Navigator EX 2.0 cashed and crashed and crashed.
Followed mradler's advice (see above) reinstalled MP Navigator 2.0.6 with a restart and all is well in the land of scanning.
Plastac-
I did what mradler suggested, but it didn't work. I trashed my old copy of MP Navigator, then reinstalled 2.0.6 from the LiDE200 Mac OS LION.
Why should I install 2.0.6 when 3.0.4 doesn't work?
Does anyone have any suggestions here?
I have a PIXMA MP600, not a CanoScan LiDE200, so mradler's links may not work for my scanner...
Unsure if this works on a MP600.
MP Navigator 3.0.4 never worked on my system. I even tried it after reinstalling 2.0.6 and it still crashed repeatedly while 2.0.6 worked as it used to.
Try installing the Mountain Lion driver update that Canon has just posted then trash MP Navigator and reinstall and restart. Hopefully that may get it up and running.
But once again, not sure if it works on a MP600... sorry :)
Update with Mac OS 10.8.2
http://www.usa.canon.com/nw3s/CanonUSA/DownloadContents/English/0200041018EN.htm
Update site does not work.
Must start at Canon site and go through all of the steps to get to the Lide 200 driver. If you do not you will not be able to select the “Accept” icon. Will have to change “Security and Privacy” setting in General System Preferences in OS 10.8.2 if “Allow applications downloaded from Anywhere” is not checked.
Disconnect the Lide 200 from the computer before doing the update.
For my CanoScan Lide 200 > OS 10.8.2, doing it through Image Capture [Spotlight > Image Capture] works perfectly but you do then have to enter the Image Capture drop-down menu carefully.
THANK YOU Pahu in Sydney - & Happy Xmas.
Image Capture is supposedly produces PDF as well as TIFF and PNG (also JPG, of course).
At least up to 10.6 it does.
