Maxify MB2320 Having trouble scanning

[Mike20878]

For a long time I had my printer connected via ethernet cable to my router.  Since then I switched to another router and no longer had space for everything.  So I switched back to using USB.

I'm now getting an error that the scan utility can't find the scanner.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks.

Hi Mike20878,

To narrow down the issue, we will need a little more information. Please let us know the following:

• If you are scanning directly from the printer or using IJ Scan Utility.
• If you are using IJ Scan Utility, is the printer listed as MB2300 series or MB2300 series Network?
• What operating system are you running.
• When you switched to usb did you reinstall the driver and select usb connection during the install?

We look forward to your reply.

Sorry, I forgot to get back to you.

• I have tried scanning both from the printer and the IJ Scan Utility.
• In devices, the printer is listed as Canon MB2300 Series Printer.  In IJ Scan, it is listed as Network.
• Windows 10
• I don't believe I did reinstall the driver.  How do I got about doing that?

Thanks.

I was having the same issue with M3 pro chip MBP 2023.  My printer would print but not scan with updated drivers.  I downgraded my scanner driver to " ICA Driver Ver. 4.1.3a (Mac)"  from my Catalina MBP and now my new Mac scans and prints fine
