How do I update my canon printer so I can scan onto my mac?
I don't know how to update my printer to allow for scanning to my mac book pro?
The version of mac that I have is OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
My printer is a canon mx420 series
Download and install its drivers here: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_s eries/pixma_mx420#DriversAndSoftware
I don't know if that particular model has any dedicated scanning software, but scanning is easily accomplished in Yosemite in at least three ways:
- The Preview app (select File > Import from ... )
- The Image Capture app
- System Preferences > Printers & Scanners (select the Scan tab)
If one of them suits your needs, you won't need to use any other software.
