I have a pixma 610, which as many will know was one of the best printers that Canon have made.
I was using XP, it was a simple job to print to an email using Outlook Express as the default email client. Just click on the options on the printer/scanner “scan to email” and the email box would open with scanned image attached.
Of course things move on and supposedly get better.
I have upgraded belatedly to Win 7/64 with Windows Live Mail. However I am having all sorts of problems to get the scan to email to work as it did. I have loaded those drivers I can find on the Canon site for win 7/64 – I didn’t see any specifically for the scanner, I assumed the main driver covered both elements of the 610.
First probelem was that the scanner didn’t recognise the default email client – WLM. Sorted that. Second problem was that WLM wanted to use MS cloud funcionality to send the attachment (don’t need this added complexity, and certainly don't need yet another account and layers of complexity). Have stopped that, butt now the email client opens but no attachment.
Is there a way with my setup to do as I did with one click, or will I have to backwards and scan and save to disk, then email, then delete the stored image (hardly progress)?
Advice, help, and/or instructions would be appreciated please. Thank you
