Hi Drunken Hobo,
after searching for days how to fix my scanner MP600 on Mavericks I found the best solution:
Follow the instructions that Candace gave:
Uninstall your Canon Driver and reinstall it.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers should resolve this issue. Please perform the following to remove the currently installed drivers: (If any items are not listed, move on to the next step.)
- 1. Open the hard drive (Macintosh HD).
- 2. Open the 'Library' folder.
- 3. Open the 'Printers' folder.
- 4. Open the 'Canon' folder.
- 5. Send the 'BJ Printer' folder to the trash.
- 6. Return to the 'Library' folder.
- 7. Open the 'Receipts' folder.
- 8. Locate any items related to your printer and send them to the trash. However, leave the 'Canon Printer Drivers.pkg' file in the folder if it happens to be listed.
- 9. Return to the 'Library' folder.
- 10. Open 'Image Capture'.
- 11. Open the 'Twain Data Sources' folder.
- 12. Send any Canon files related to your printer to the trash.
- 13. Open the Applications folder.
- 14. Open the Canon Utilities folder.
- 15. Send the MP Navigator to the trash.
- 16. Restart your computer.
- 17. Empty the trash.
Once this has been done we will reinstall. To get your PIXMA MX700 operating on your network, please follow these steps:
- 1. Visit Canon's website at: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer
- 2. Just below 'Browse by Product Type', select your model in the following manner:
2-1. Under Product Type, choose Printers & Multifunction.
2-2. Under Search, choose Canon MP600 Pixma
- 3. On the Support page for the your unit, click the 'Drivers & Software' tab.
- 4. Choose your version of OSX from the Operating System drop down boxes.
- 5. Select the Appropriate driver: OS X Lion 10.7.
- 6. Read the License Agreement on the next page, and if you agree, click on 'I Agree - Begin Download' at the bottom.
- 7. Save the file to your computer using the options in your web browser.
- 8. Once the download is complete, go back to the top and click on the 'Support & Service' tab and then click on the 'Drivers & Downloads' tab.
- 9. Choose your version of Mac OSX from the Operating System drop down boxes.
- 10. Under the Drivers listing, click on the MP600 series Scanner Driver.
- 11. Read the License Agreement on the next page, and if you agree, click on 'I Agree - Begin Download' at the bottom.

- 16. Read the License Agreement on the next page, and if you agree, click on 'I Agree - Begin Download' at the bottom.
- 17. Save the file to your computer using the options in your web browser.
- 18. Once the download is complete, close all windows.
- 19. Double click the downloaded printer driver. Open the installer package to begin the setup.
- 20. Double click the downloaded scanner driver. Open the installer package to begin the setup.
- 21. Double click the downloaded IJ Network Tool. Open the installer package to begin the setup.
Once this process is complete, try printing to test the unit. Then return to our website to download the MP Navigator for scanning. (dont forget!)
Since Canon does not support 10.9 I used the printer and scanner driver for Lion 10.7. I also downloaded the MP Navigator Software as well. Then I restarted my computer and followed the instructions of Drunken Hobo: Open your Application folder, click on Canon and then on MP Navigator.
And voila: The scanner works just fine. Keep in mind the scanner does not work when using System Preferences and Open Scanner.
In case you don't want to deal with all the annoyance there is always VuScan. Just cost $79.95 for the Premium.
GOOD LUCK!
