For several years I have had a Canon LIDE 210 connected via USB to my Macintosh tower, running OS X 10.6.8. Last week I bought a Canon PIXMA MG3520, primarily to replace an unsatisfactory HP printer.
So far the new printer installed and works fine as a printer, but--using Print and Scan under System preferences--I cannot add the MG3520 as a scanner. When I try to do so, OS X thinks I am adding it as another printer. If I select Scanner instead of Printer in the dialog, I get the message Scanner Not Selected. I have installed the scanner driver several times from various downloads.
I don't want to delete the LIDE 210 as a scanner, since it looks as if it can handle longer documents (i.e., legal) than the MG3520 as a scanner. Besides, it continues to work fine at 300DPI, which is the resolution I need for the Kurzweil 3000 OCR-Speech program. Still, it would be nice to have a second scanner available if I need it.
Is there a solution?
