Cannon Mx880 Series And Is

Scanning is not a high priority task at this time, and the only thing i would be scanning are old photos (I edit photos with iPhoto, for now) Again, thank you both for getting me to this point of being able to use the scanner function.

An error box appears saying that I need to use OS X 10.4.1 or later.

Im using 10.6.8. I think there is an install script error, but Canon says its Apples problem.

If your scanner is connected and on, you might see your scanner in Previews File menu Import From Scanner.

The last I have any record for was for an MP520 installing on Leopard.

Based on the version of the ScanGear installer you quote, it would suggest it is for the new MG series and is the latest.

I use the same version of scanner driver for my MG6150 and I installed it fine on Lion, but did not test it on 10.6.

But I dont see there is much difference between the two OSs with regards to the scanner files and locations, so your issue is probably due to some other Canon software already residing on the Mac and failing to be overwritten by the new installer.

If you open Console (Applications Utilities) and select All Messages (you may have to click on the Show Log List icon to see the All Messages entry) there should be reference to the ScanGear installer and an explanation as to why it thinks it is being installed on the wrong OS.

Motorcyle Michael: Tried Preview, and selected File Import From Scanner Include Networked Devices and shazam, it shows up as a menu choice.

Selected that attempted scan was successful Thanks PAHU: Found these in the Messages, Could be because of the HP stuff, perhaps (I havent used HP in about a year) 122611 10:36:14 AM0x0-0x141141.jp.co.canon.bj.printer.app.MPNEX4132045objc2045: Class SplitViewController is implemented in both ApplicationsCanon UtilitiesMP Navigator EX 4.1.appContentsMacOSMP Navigator EX 4.1 and LibraryImage CaptureSupportHewlett-PackardFrameworksHPScanProfiles.frameworkVersionsA HPScanProfiles.

This software cannot be installed as it does not support the version of your current OS.

Update your system to Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later and try again.

At this point, I am able to scan using Preview application, so I do know that all the features of the MX880 work now.

Getting Scangear installed and running is a secondary problem, and if I dont really need it, I wont worry about it.

Canons web site lists 4 drivers for the MX882 having mx880 in their filenames (and 8 other downloads), all for the Mac and MacOS 10.6.

The file you mentioned is not on this list() which may be found here: eriespixmamx882DriversAndSoftware (Select Mac OS X v10.6 from Choose Operating System popup.) One of these drivers should work for the MX882.

There are other drivers listed for MX850, MX860, and MX870 models, all appear to have drivers for MacOS 10.6.

You have to drill down thru Service and Support Support and Drivers Product Type (Printers and Multifunction) PIXMA MX series PIXMA 8XX Drivers ans Software OSX 10.6 (popup menu).

Then you get to try and figure out what the difference is between available drivers and which one to use.

Suggest uninstalling previous drivers prior to installing a new one.) Piece ocake, eh Hope this helps;-).

Checking the same package for the latest version that was released in July 2011 to add support for Lion, it has a version of 170701.

For your information, the scanning via Image Capture Preview uses what is called an ICA driver.

For Snow Leopard, this driver for a number of Canon AIOs was included with the various delta updates, as well as the Canon driver updates.

To scan via MP Navigator or some other TWAIN compliant application, like Photoshop, then you need the ScanGear driver.

So if you are happy with scanning via Preview then you can continue with what you are doing now and not worry about getting this latest driver to install.

PAHU: My apologies, I didnt realize the log was from an attempt to install the previous version (170601) to see if the problem was with the later version (170701).

Both installation attempts aborted due to the same error shown in the log (i.e., the logs for either installation were the same except for the version numbers).
