Canon MF4150 Scanning

Question

Canon MF4150 Scanning

Simply, is it possible on Tiger 10.4.9? I've gotten the printer and fax setup, but can't seem to get the scanner recognized...is there any hope? (I bought this printer on an amazing deal, and would hate to have my bubble burst by the inability to scan stuff) - thanks much!!

You ought to be talking to Canon and see if it's compatible with ICBMs (Intel-chip-based Macs) and 10.4.9.

According to Canon Australia, scanning from the MF4150 to OS X is not supported.

Just in case anyone else has the same question here's the official response from Canon tech support:

"Regrettably the MF4150 only supports scanning on computers running Windows. There are currently no plans to update the drivers to support scanning on Macintosh computers at this time."

So, yeah, if you want an all-in-one laser that includes scanning on a Mac don't buy the Canon MF4150.
