"Regrettably, if you are running Mac OSX only printing and PC faxing is supported on the imageCLASS MF4150. There are no plans to support
scanning in Mac OSX from this particular unit. We sincerely apologize
for any inconvenience this may cause." same here, we are an all mac office :) shame on canon, they are usually such great products. well, actually, i like this product but how are they going to go and sell it with only half the drivers? i emailed them and their respose was:

There is not yet Mac driver support for the scanner portion of this printer. The printer should work fine, but no scanner as of yet. Too bad no one told me at the Office store when I bought it.

To the best of my knowledge, you need to run a Windows virtual PC with the unit installed to that virtual PC or a second computer running Windows to get the Scan functions. For the virtual computer option, you will need a licensed version of Windows, the Windows version of the drivers from the above link and a program like Parallels.
Uninstall all your drivers (and delete the preferences) and download the Mac drivers from this link. The drivers that came with your printer were developed before Snow Leopard came out.
