Hi,

Are you scanning from IJ Scan Utility when the error appears? 

We look forward to your reply.

I open the Cannon folder and select "scan and print option".  Then the error appears

Hi,

Please open the Canon Utilities folder and check for IJ Scan Utility. If it is listed, please open and try to scan. 

We look forward to your reply. 

But this IJ Scan Utility is not compatible with Photoshop (as new photoshop versions do not support TWAIN - because twain plugin doesn't exist in 64bit variant, and newer photoshop versions only have 64bit variant). This is a workaround because your driver is not WIA compatible!
