Scan utility tells me I don't have the required privileges to access the specified folder to scan

[darkling1]

When I go to scan something it says "You do not have the required privileges to access the specified folder." and it will not scan anything.  How do I set this up to where I can scan things.

Model: PIXMA  MG3222 (Printer/Scanner (Multifunction)

I did this, and it did not work. I have been able to scan from the Image Garden using the driver settings, and the problem came up only recently. I get the same message with every button I click on. The error message has no error number. Very frustrating!

Hi dwl56,

What version of Windows or Mac OS X is installed on your computer?

My PC is running Windows 10. After posting my problem, I ran across a possible fix, in which I deleted my printer from the list of devices, then downloaded the driver from Canon (for about the 3rd time), and that apparently did the trick. I was able to use the scan driver to set up my scan, and things appear to be back to normal. 

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I just discovered this problem this morning.  It was not a problem before.

I purchased my Canon MX922 in 2015.  And while the printer is pretty good, the software has been a disappointment.

The 'SCAN' button on the printer is useless. It acts like it is scanning, but no document is upload to my PC, as in Image Garden.  This used to work.  So I have used the Canon U scan utility.  Should not be so clumsy.

Wifi does not work.  It used to work,, after initial purchase.  Then when I moved, it no longer worked. It needs to be hard wired, which is an inconvenience since several devices use the printer. Should not be so clumsy.

Now, using this scan utility, I wake up this morning and I am having this same problem as the others have reported on this thread - I don't have the required priviliges to access the specified folder.  Really? It used to work. I am  the only user on this computer - no sub-accounts. Should not be so clumsy.

I am on Window 10, and all the printer functions had performed well when installed on Windows 8.1 and later on Windows 10.  I did one call to customer support for another issue about 18 months ago, and the technician was challenged to fix  it. Eventually got resolution after a 35 minute call.

Hi All

I had the same issue and I managed to fix it.

I have windows 10 and I have got Windows Defender Installed.

When you you try to launch it will give you error and at the same time it will give a you popup screen on the right side bottom tells you that some program is trying to change things. Open that window, it will open up "Window Defender Security Center".  It will say " ADD an ALLOWED APP" .It will give you message, select the App which can modify. Select the below path of the tool is installed in your C Drive:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Canon\IJ Scan Utility\SCANUTILITY.EXE

Otherwise you can directly launch the Security Center and  the above app.

THis should address the issue. Hope this helps.
