Hi,

Is the printer connected to your Mac vis USB cord or is the printer connected to your network? 

We look forward to your reply.

USB

Hi,

Please make sure you installed the CUPS driver: mcpd-mac-mg3600-16_70_0_0-ea21_3.dmg and ICA driver: misd-mac-ijscanner15f-5_0_0-ea21_3.dmg. 

Once both files are installed, go back and add the printer in printers and scanners. Make sure for Canon driver is listed and not the built in Apple driver. After the printer is added, open IJ Scan Utility and try to scan again.

Thank You for your time & info reply; had completed driver install as you mentioned; continued error message not scanning not printing: war to official Cannon site as have an account & 3 cannon printers, paying $19.99 help fee; after 1 hour 40 minutes no correction, Cannon offered rebate Voucher for the $19.99 & applied to purchase a new MD3620. 

Again, thank you & all others offering your input as I did listen & follow suggestions; for what ever reason my printer needed to be replaced. 

When new printer 

Arrived I will scan & print & update  Y'ALL IN CANON FORUM who have been so kind in reaching out to my error messages dilemma:(

Thank You¡
