I am running Windows 10 OS, connecting to Canon MG6620 via USB. I do not have LAN or Internet. Disable LAN is set and I am connecting via USB.

I am able to print just fine.

But when I try to scan via IJ Scan Utility, I receive a message: Cannot communicate with scanner.

Code 5,157,69

I have the latest driver installed - I went to Canon website and downloaded & installed full driver published 7/22/15.

If anyone can help me troubleshoot, I'd greatly appreciate it.
