Question

Canon Printer drivers no longer work

Mar 8, 2016 6:54PM PST

Hi Everyone,
I am running OS10.6.8 on a Mac Book and now the software drivers for the Canon MX850 will no longer work for scanning. It still prints but that is all. I've tried downloading the drivers from Canon's site but to no avail. Any ideas?
Thanks
Barry

Maybe the Printer no working drivers are in the Apple database.

and Canon may not have made them for this version of OS X or, if they did, they may have made a cut down version of them.

Meanwhile, you can carry on scanning via the application called Image Capture, which you will find in your Applications folder
