Canon Pixma MP460 printer doesn't function with Mavericks

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mavericks over the weekend, and discovered this morning that my printer (Canon Pixma MP460) is not functioning with the new OS. I haven't been able to find software or driver updates on either the Canon or Apple sites to fix this problem, and urgently need access to the printer and scanner functions. I was able to upgrade via the Canon website in the past (e.g., when I upgraded to Lion), but am having no luck this time. I also haven't been able to set up the printer for wireless printing on our network since the previous OS upgrade. Any suggestions for either or both problems?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9), Canon Pixma MP460 Printer

I also (foolishly) upgraded to Mavericks My Canon EOS utilities software doesn't open in Mavericks and no updates available from Apple or Canon. Also Logic Pro 8 not working with Mavericks the timeline blacks out as the track progresses. I do wish Apple would issue compatibility info befor encouraging OSX updates my music and photography equipment is rendered useless - any ideas welcome

While my problem remains unsolved, I at least know why now. My printer is not on the compatibility list from Canon. You can check for yours here: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/mac-osx. I've emailed their customer support to find out if they can propose a work-around, otherwise, I'm going to need to try and revert my OS.

We also have the Canon MP460 Printer/Scanner and the scanner function is no longer working with Mavericks. I was able to figure out a workaround. I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 on my computer and there's an import function that was able to detect the MP460. I could scan through Photoshop but not through scanner buttons or Image capture.

Great news!!!! I just installed OSX Yosemite and the new OS works with my HP 4070 Scanner. Seams like the solved the problem. Saves in PDF, JPG, and I suppose in it will work in other formats as well. I am guessing it will work with other brands, like Canon, etc.


Problem solved!!! Just wait for the new OS or download the Beta version that is open to non developers.
