TICKET ARCHIVE -> How to scan with multifunction printer?

jennyquatro - Jul 25, 2008 - 4:53 pm

I have a Canon Pixma MP610 multfunction printer/scanner/fax/copy machine. Prints great, but how do I scan in Leopard? Recent switcher, obviously. :P

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jennifer

The built-in application for scanning is Image Capture.

Thanks for the suggestion, however I get an error message when I access Image Capture (which seems to relate to a camera, not the printer). The message is: No Image Capture Device connected. This is true as I have not tried my digital camera yet with the iMac. Thanks anyway, Jennifer

Image Capture relates to both cameras and scanners. There could be a driver. Make sure you've installed the scanner driver from here.

After talking to Canon Support (luckily it is still under warranty), apparently every time I want to scan, I need to unplug the USB cable from the Airport Extreme and plug it directly to the iMac. Wow, what a pain as I do a lot of scanning! I also have a macbook which is why I have the router. Sigh. Thanks for trying. Much appreciated.
