My Image Garden does not enable scanner

[rwood359]

I just installed Ny Image Garden.  The printer is functional (MG6220), but the scanner is greyed out - not enabled.

Canon Navigator and my other photo editor recognize and use the scanner.

I have installed both the network and USB drivers to no avail.

Any suggestions?

I have the same problem: My Image Garden can print to my printer but it has the Scan icon grayed out.

I have a Mac with OS High Sierra v10.13  and my printer is a Pixma MX882. I downloaded the My Image Garden software v3.6.1. from the canon website, from the available Software/Dirvers for this specific printer, but it is not working.

Can you please help or can Canon confirm if there is a fix for this problem or point me in the right direction to solve it? I will highly appreciate it.

Thank you!

I realised I didn’t have the Printer drivers installed, if you don’t have the disc the drivers can be downloaded from websites and then reinstall Image Garden. Works well now.

Seem to me that the Image Garden software are useless to be  installed, I have successful resolved this same problem,

I switched to my old computer which has window 7, I only installed the MP240 driver and MP Navigator 2.0 and then scanning works.

Before on my other two computer with operating system window 10, it didn't get me any luck by installing and reinstalled any ** software that match my printer model MP240.BTW this Image Garden software turn grey and untouchable on my old computer too, AGAIN IT IS USELESS. MP NAVIGATOR SOFTWARE IS THE KEY to resolve all your scanner problem trust me!!!

rene1970,

The MX882 is not compatible with the High Sierra operating system.  Use a computer with OS 10.12 or earlier in order to be able to scan with the MX882.

I just bought a brand new Canon PIXMA MX922 and I am running Mac OS 10.13.4 w/ a wifi connection to this printer. I was able to scan with it yesterday, but now when I open My Image Garden the scan option is greyed out. I can click on auto-scan and get a scan to happen, but then I get a message that I don't have permission to open the file in which the document has been stored, so the only option I am given is to open My Image Garden and I have no idea how to find the document in there. It doesn't show on the calendar for the day, and I can't find anything or scan from this software.

Hello everyone.

I have re-installed MacOs 10.11 from scratch, due to a HD fail, with a Canon MX925 and cannot overhelm a greyout scanner error on My Image Garden.

The scanner is ok and works with other software, but not with My Image Garden.

Previous installation was OK: My Image Garden worked flowlessy.

All Canon software is updated.

The only thing I can tell is that I installed directly a Wi-Fi printer. But I have tried 1 month ago to disinstall the printer and Drivers & softwares and re- installl the USB printer as first: no result.

I tried also to remove and re-install all Canon drivers and softwares. Tried on USB, Wi-Fi and ethernet connection. Tried changing IJ scan utility settings...

I am a skilled installer but ... all your solution are not working.

I repeat: the scanner is ok and works with other software, but not with My Image Garden.

As a result of this mulfunction, when I try to send a document from scanner to PC, My Image Garden says that can't open the file's directoriy (before it was a fantastic feature I have used many times). 

Help is welcome.

I also just installed MIG on my new laptop. Windows10 and printer MG3540 working with WiFi. Is there a way to make it work?

Hello,

I'm using a MP640R with MacOS 10.14 Mojave. The printer/scanner is connected via LAN. Scanning via the built-in "Image Capture" tool from Apple works, but in My Image Garden the scanner is greyed out. Canon Support, can you solve the riddle / problem?

Thanks,
