My Image Garden shows "IJ network scanner selector EX2 cannot be found"

[KevininTucson]

#TR8520

I got Brutal with offloading stuff from my 🪟 11 PC some months back and I accidentally offloaded My Image Garden, which was my go to for printing and scanning. 

I needed to scan something the other day so I went through the process of finding/downloading My Image Garden, as well as all the drivers that Canon says I needed. I would try to scan and I would get the following error:

IJ network scanner selector EX2 cannot be found. Reinstall scanner driver. Scanner driver will be closed. Code 3,208,0

I've tried installing everything in the software/driver section that might be related to that code and nothing works.

I don't use it much since I retired, but it would make life easier if I could when I need to. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

TIA

Hey Patrick! Just a quick note to say thank you! That worked perfectly and was an easy solution! My only only comment would be that I wish they would make that clear on the support  page for my model. Again, appreciate your help!
