Q: El Capitan scanning
I have installed elCapitan 10.11.4 and now my Canon MP240 will no longer scan through image capture. It continues to function as a printer, but produces an error when trying to connect to the scanner through Image Capture. I have reset the printer multiple times to no avail. I have downloaded a trial of Vuescan, which does work, but I do not really want to spend $80 on this solution. Graphic converter is a cheaper option, but works through Image capture for scanning, so is a no go. Does anyone have any workarounds?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

The Scan tab in Printers & Scanners uses an ICA driver - not a TWAIN driver. The last ICA driver that Canon released for the MP240 was for OS X 10.9. This should still install and function on 10.11 so here is a link to the Canon ICA v3.1.0 driver. Note that after installing this driver you should restart the Mac and when you have logged back in see if you can use the Scan tab without the error you show above.
