Pixma MX922 and OS X Catalina

I've had my Multifunction for a while and am using with with the Canon scanning software on my Macbook Air running OS X Catalina 10.15.4.

 

Since the update to Catalina, I have noticed that if I scan a document, then change the settings for another document, when I click on the scan button, nothing happens.  I have to quit the application and then scan.  The changes to the settings were saved with the last running of the App, I just couldn't scan until I quit.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

Greetings,

What we hear from a lot of MAC users:

 

Printer has been working fine / normally, then after one or more OS upgrades some functions start to become problematic, unreliable or deteriorate.

 

This is often due to the architectural differences between old / new versions of Mac OS and drivers.  If you've been using MAC OS for a while, then you know how different Catalina is in comparison to Mojave.    

 

What I would recommend:

 

Remove the printer from Apple menu > System Preferences > Printers and Scanners.

 

If no other printers are installed, then "Reset The Printing System" (Control+Right-Click)

 

Now uninstall all Canon related software, then restart.

 

Now reinstall the device using the Catalina CUPS and Scanner drivers:

This seems to help in the majority of cases where orphaned files and lingering remnants cause odd or undesired behaviors.

Thank you for your suggestion.  I will try it.

 

Nice to meet someone with more than 1900 times my experience on the "Boards."
