scanner not working

I have a Pixma MG6220 and I can't scan documents to my computer. I was able to do it earlier but now I don't have "use scanner" icon in my main menu and quick menu. Do I have to install some extra driver or what I can do? Because I lost my CD I installed it from Canon website,  it has  all same features, right?

can not scan/ windows 10/ printing is okay/cannon mx 310

Hello Imaxpr!


Thanks for responding to our message!


The PIXMA MX310 is not compatible with Windows 10. We suggest downloading the Windows 7 or Windows 8 drivers to see if that allows you to scan. For the Drivers please go here: http://Canon.us/vxyv If not please contact our Technical Support Team by phone or email here: http://Canon.us/ContactCF

 

We hope this helps!

I've had my Canon MG6200 for about four years and have never had a problem.  Lately, however, I have trouble scanning.  It won't scan using the controls on top of the printer and won't scan from computer.  About three months ago I got a new HP lap top.  It was identical to my previous lap top except it was supposed to be faster.  Anyway, I was eventually able to scan a document, but it was a PDF document.  Can you please help. 

Hi charliebates,

 

Are you using your PIXMA MG6200 with a USB cable or are you using your PIXMA MG6200 wirelessly?

 

What version of Windows is installed on your computer;  Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10?

I have a Pixma mx472 printer. I press the scan button, the window says "please wait a while" and then nothing happens. Not sure what to do. Thanks.

I had the same problem, only with a mac.  I'm using Navigator instead, but it's inferior to apple's.  Can't store where I want to.  Can only scan into a TIFF, not a PDF, ETC.
