CANON Pixma MP510

Have a problem with my scanner! Hi there, I have an all-in-one Canon Pixma MP510. Installed the software fine, printer works all right, but can´t get the thing to scan. Tried to reinstall, but the same problem occured. It keeps reporting an error: "Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected (which it isn´t) or scanner may be turned off (sure isn´t). Check status. Code: 2,155,0. Any usefull advise will be much appreciated. Cheers!! Klara

Hello, I have a Cannon MP510 which worked fine when I forst installed it, printed, scanned and copied. I moved my pc to another room and since then It prints, it copies but It cannot scan. It says "cannot communicate with scanner and then " There is a TWAIN error. Maybe the device is not connected. I have reistalled the cd that came with Cannon, I have tried through control panel and all programs I have installed for scanning but nothing works. What is going on? thank you

I have installed the software for the Canon Pixma MP510 All in One Printer. However I get the message scanning software not installed. (printing is not a problem). How can I solve it?

Hello!
Please go to this page: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp510#DriversAndSoftware
You will need to scroll down just a bit to the box that says "Select OS" and choose which operating system you have.
Then scroll down a bit more and click on "Software" and under software you will find "MP Navigator" closer to the bottom of the list. The download button will be to the right of the software description.
That is the program you will need to download and install to get your scanner working! Hope this helps! Have a great evening!

If you are pushing scan and then black or color and the scanner is not working then check to see if the scanner loaded whth the rest of the options. Click start, chose printers and faxes, choose scanners and cameras, right click WIA Canon MP510, choose properties, check status. If not active or not there, you will need to reinstall.

Pixma mp510 with Mac

Hey,

I had the same problem. First you want to install what is called MP Navigator, you can google that and download it easily. Then after 4 hours of searching I found out you need the driver from this link: http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/256522/canon-pixma-mp510-scanner-driver-v12.13.0-mac-os-x-free-download.html

It's the scanner driver. Hope that helps!
