Turn off printer, uninstall printer from 'devices and printers', remove usb from pc, plug back in and turn on, then let windows install drivers - all works fine - thankfully windows have the device install fix for this - shame Canon software doesn't tut tut

SOURCE: Canon mp610 scanning problem

The readme says that some USB hubs have an issue.

I was having problems and was connected via a hub. I removed the hub and connected the printer directly to the back of the PC and voila scanning is all good.

ALex.

One thing to check and be sure of is that your printer cable (USB) is definately a USB 2.0 cable. Canon have an issue with their printers with scanners in that the data flow sometimes isn't sufficient when an older USB cable is used. The slightest drop of data on startup or during scanning will cause a stop.

Worth trying and has sometimes solved the problem for my customers.

SOURCE: Canon PIXMA mp240 All-in-one InkJet Printer. Error code: 2,140,2

I had exactly the same problem (error Code:2,140,2) in Canon PIXMA MP250, and it was solved when I replaced both ink cartridges which were almost empty (almost without ink). I know an scanner problem is not supposed to be in relation with ink or printer problems, but that's the way I've fixed it. Good luck!

Stop your printer running while you are scanning photos.
It defines error because your printer and scanner running simultaneously.
Eject your printer while scanning.

Cannon scanner is showing code 5,156,69 error how to solve the problem
It usually concerns the scanner: "Code:5,156,61 Cannot scan for these reasons: -Scanner is turned off.-USB cable is disconnected" Solution 1: check USB connection Try another USB port on the PC If USB cable is connected to an USB Hub: connect diretly the cable to the PC. Try another USB cable
Solution 2: Sometimes, an antivirus or the firewall of Windows can block the use of Canon software. Check this point by disabling them temporarily.
Solution 3: Reinstall the drivers of the printer

Scanner error 5
The only fix that I know is to get the scanner/copier assembly(that's the assembly at the very top where the copier is) replaced.
I don't imagine that it is cheap. Get an estimate 1st.

Mp navigator 4.3 don't start
On Windows Vista, the following error message may appear while scanning:-
"Cannot communicate with scanner.
Code: 2,155,0 (or Code: 53,3,0)"

In such a case, close the error message and confirm that the cable is connected and the printer is turned on. And then perform a scan over again after a while.

  1. select Start > Run.
  2. Type %windir%, then click OK.
  3. Double-click twain_32.
  4. Right-click Kodak, then select Delete.
  5. Insert the KODAK All-in-One Printer Software CD into the appropriate drive, then go to (cd drive: > printer > scanner.

Hi, my terminal Motorola MC3190 doesn't want to enable scanner and i really don't know why.... There is an error code A0000032 with message: "CANNNOT ENABLE SCANNER"
The scanner engine/output can be used only by one application. If a second application is trying to access the scanner, while in use. The error message will come.
Please check if there are more applications running in background. Usual MC9090 applications with scanner drivers are Telnet, Datawedge, Rapid Deployment and custom software.
Exit one of the application or try to exit all of them. Start your scanning application again, no error should appear now.
