Canon MP600 Scanner not recognised

Canon has no official driver for the MP600 for OS X 10.8. They do have a scanner driver and the MP Navigator scanning utility for Mac OS X 10.7, so you could download and install these two packages.

Note that neither package is digitally signed so Gatekeeper will block the installation by default. Look at this Apple article about getting non-signed drivers and applications installed on OX 10.8.

Look in the HD/Library/Applications Support/Canon folder. That's where the driver for my Canon printer is located. If you install it for only the current user and not all users it might be in the Users/Home/LIbrary/Application Support/Canon folder.

For other files for the printer look in the HD/Library/Printers folder.

NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Hi, to everybody who has a problem with the scanner MP600 on Mavericks or Mountain Lion. Found a way how it works:

Uninstall and Reinstall the software according to the instruction that Candacefae gave us. Instead pick software and driver for Lion including MP Navigator. Then Restart Computer. After done click on Application folder and Canon Utilities. Then click on MP Navigator. And voila. You can scan.

A little annoyance but it works. Keep in mind - clicking on System Preferences and Open Scanner will not work!

For everybody else who does not want to deal with all the steps there is always Vuscan - just cost $79.95 for the Premiumversion. Works with all Models no matter how old.

I had this problem and did ecactly as mentioned and now I can scan form MP Navigator
