Hi bucksnort,

 

The first step would be to reinstall.  To do this, please follow these steps:

 

 1.  Press the Windows key on your keyboard and the letter R, then let both go.

 

 2.  In the Run window, please type CONTROL PANEL and click OK.

 

 3.  Click on View devices and printers (or Devices and printers, depending on your view).

 

 4.  Right click the Canon MX470 series and left click on Remove device.  Repeat until all MX470's are removed.

 

 5.  In the upper left corner, click on Control Panel (or the Back button).

 

 6.  In Control Panel, click on Uninstall a program (or Programs and features, depending on your view).

 

 7.  Click once on "Canon MX470 series MP Drivers" and then click Uninstall at the top.

 

 8.  Follow the on screen prompts to uninstall the driver.  When you click Complete,  the driver is uninstalled.

 

 9.  Once done, please reboot your computer.

 

When your computer restarts, we will reinstall:

 

 1.  Please use the following link:

 2.  Click the Select button next to "MX470 series MP Drivers Ver.1.02 (Windows)".

 

 3.  Click the Download button.  The drivers will download.

 5.  Double click "mp68-win-mx470-1_02-ea33_3.exe" to begin the installation.

Once the installation has completed, please attempt to scan.
