1. I downloaded new driver for MP160 at the Canon download center. Ran the driver, replacing the old one.
2. From the Start-Printers and Faxes-MP160,
3. Select 'Scanners and Cameras', at "Other Places" at the lower left panel.
4. Click WIA Canon MP160
5. Then finish scanning.
NOTE: When I did it again I had to repeat steps 2-5. My Windows is XP.

If you have another USB device attached (besides a mouse or keyboard), try disconnecting the other device and rebooting the computer. If the scanner now works, the software for the other device is interfering with USB communication. This is usually another printer or scanner.
