TS8220 Cannot scan "failed to open a connection to the device (-21345)" MacOS Catalina

Using MacOS Catalina (10.15.6) the TS8220 prints correctly, but attempting to scan gives "failed to open a connection to the device (-21345)". The TS8220 has current firmware (1.010), is in same room 3' from router and 8' from iMac, on same 2G network.The scanner previously worked before upgrade to Catalina.

  • Using MacOS System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners the "Print" connects and can open print queue and show supply levels etc.
  • The "Scan" Open Scanner gives the "failed to open a connection..." error.
  • I have tried both MacOS Image Capture and Canon IJ Scan Utility Lite.
    • MacOS gives the "failed..." error
    • IJ Scan gives "Cannot communicate with scanner..."
  • I do not have a USB cable long enough to connect directly (and need to use wifi scanning)

Suggestions what else to try or is there already a solution?? Thank you!

Since Mac's do not have a HOME MENU, your instructions are not relevant 

This fix worked for me with my MacOS Catalina and a TR8620a.  From what I gather reading these replies, either you need to enable IPV6 on your computer or turn it off on the printer.

This has just solved the same issue which I had with my new CanonTS8351A on MacOs Monterey. I followed the instructions to disable IPV6 and the scanning is now working fine.  Thanks very much.

Made an account just to say this fixed my issue on macos 12.6

 

Thank you!

Worked for me - many thanks

The home button on the printer. 

I'm from Latin America and then y did that. 
I reboot my router and al WORKS.

Thanks Very Much

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. It worked fine for me (iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014); macOS Big Sur 11.7.4).
