Rebooted and configured the scanner - this was a little confusing as right after the reboot the IJ Network tool wants to configure the PRINTER and the dialog looks quite a bit like the one to configure the SCANNER.
Note I did not install ALL the software from this site, as I am only interested in getting the front-panel scanning to work.Īlso, I am confident that I did NOT need to install the IJ Network Tool as the MP Drivers include it, but I didn't know that at the time. So I reinstalled these items from the Canon web site: I would like the front panel buttons to work - did I mention the MX850 is in a different room? The front panel buttons don't work, the scan button doesn't detect my Mac. Also the Apple version of scanning worked fine: use the "Image Capture" application and I could scan just fine from the computer. First thing I tested/noticed was that the Canon print drivers where already installed and they worked fine. I am slowly getting everything back to normal.
I tried a lot of things, and got the new computer in a mess, and I wanted to reinitialize anyway, so I did an "archive and install" following these instructions:
This appears to have something to do with PDF versus JPG. The system cannot find the path specified." a PDF), I then get the dialog box "Unable to save file. If I scan from the MX850 panel as a "PDF document" (i.e. a JPG), it works fine, saves in MX Navigator as normal.ģ. If I scan from the MX850 panel as a "document" (i.e. If I scan from within MX Navigator, everything works including saving as a PDF file.Ģ. Looked at a lot of these threads, tried a lot of stuff, reinstalled the Canon drivers, and I got to this point:ġ. I "Migrated" all my software from my old 24" iMac, most worked but the Canon scanning did not. I got a new 27" iMac (Yay!) The MX850 is connected via Ethernet, not USB. To be honest I may have changed the one click setting first then the preferences one. I don't know whether it was the second change I tried which solved the problem or a combination of the two.
I then changed them both back to show the full path for neatness and it still worked. The odd thing is they were still saved in the 'user/Pictures/MP Navigator' directory even though I changed both save paths. My scans were then saved automatically again. I then clicked 'One Click' and changed the 'Save In' value to in the same way as described above (saving directly in the Pictures directory). (It was 'user/Pictures/MP Navigator' and I changed it to 'user/Pictures'). Then a changed the 'Save In' value to something different. I ran MP Navigator and then clicked on Preferences.
No single suggestion there worked but they pointed me to what to try. My hard drive failed recently and I had to restore the system from by back up. I had same problem after restoring from back up
