MG7520 as scanner only?

Steve56 — Sat, 21 Mar 2020 18:10:36 GMT

I have a Canon Pixma MG7520 that has no ink cartridges in it. I just want to use it to scan photos and documents but it refuses to work without ink. Is there a way around this?

Greetings,

The MG7520 requires ink and will not operate as a scanner without inks installed.

Well that seems like a piss-poor design choice.

I appreciate your help @shadowsports!
