MP Navigator and High Sierra

[Mike12]

After installing macOS 10.13.1 (High Sierra) MP Navigator EX 4.0 has ceased to work.

Finally got my PIXMA MX 870 to scan with High Sierra 10.13.1 using Preview on a new iMac.  Wifi worked with auto doc feeder.  Not quite MP Navigator, but it works.

After reading this thread, I am very diappointed in Canon. My HP printer is 5 years older than my Canon and I have never had a problem with updates. I can't believe that Canon is leaving us high and dry! I have an MP650 and had been happily using MP Navigator EX 3.0 up until the latest Mac update. It's ridiculous that I should have to use a work around for scanning just because Canon doesn't feel like keeping things updated. No work around that I have found is equal to using Navigator - especially when it comes to scanning photos. I guess it's time to retire my Canon and buy another HP - my old HP still works well but it's in use on our secondary computer.

Hello HowardB,

How did you make it work with Preview ?

[stamperlisa]

If you are looking for a workaround for scanning, I suggest going to your Applications and using "Image Capture" -- I put it in my dock and have been using it since the update took out navigator. It works ok for my needs - but I did have to make some setting adjustments.

I have the very same issue, I have Pixma MX882. When will there a fix?

Hi stamperlisa,

Thanx for your help and advice. I have got it working too now.

Hi Chielmos, I made sure my MX870 and iMac were both on the same network with the correct printer driver and printed a page to make sure my problem was just with MP Navigator. Then I opened Preview, which is an app in the dock at the bottom of your Mac screen. Now click on the Preview “File” tab, and you should see “Import from Canon MX870 series” as a choice near the bottom of your menu. When you click on that, a window will open for a moment saying “waiting for scanner.” Then you will be able to choose scan mode (flatbed or document feeder) and the other options from the menu on the right. You can choose whether to create a single file or separate file, resolution, duplex scan, etc. MP Navigator was a better solution, but Preview is lots better than nothing. Hope that works for you!

this worked for my MG6120!

Thanks.

but why  is it on the Asia site and not the rest of the world?

Just got a new iMac. I have a MP970 and it will print with High Sierra using one of the older drivers, but not scan.  I use the scanning for old photo negatives, so it is important to me for the scanning function to work. MP Navigator EX  MP970 series will not download with High Sierra.  Any suggestions,
