PIXMA MX452 scanner retains image from over a year ago

[rmcape]

I have a PIXMA MX452 attached to my mac w/OS-X (latest).

The last time I scanned an image with it was over a year ago.

I wanted to scan some photos and when I tried to scan the first, I saw the image I scanned over a year ago.

Even with NOTHING on the glass, the old image keeps showing up.

I tried unplugging it - no difference.

I found a video that showed how to do a reset - no difference.

I tried downloading the latest drivers and installing them - no difference.

Can anyone explain what's going on and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Bob
