Try using your scanner from your computer, I'm using windows XP and when i go to My Computer and the printer is connected i see a section that says Scanner and Cameras, your printer should be there, click on it and follow the easy step to scan a document.
You can scan to your PC from the printer buttons once the PC is set up for it. Two steps get it ready.
1. After pressing the button on the printer to scan, glance over at the computer screen. Select MP Navigator from the "Which program?" dialog box.
(If MP Navigator does not appear in the list, install it from the CD that came with your printer or download from the Canon website.) 2. Before clicking OK, check the "Always use this program" box. Next time you scan, it will automatically open MP Navigator and the scan will appear on screen.
Try going this
1. go to programs and go to canon utilities
2. open mp navigator
3. once open click photos/documents
4. put photo in scanner and choose photo type
5. click green scan button on the computer screen
6. adjust pic to liking and do as you please
Uninstall any MP Navigator program that is currently on your system and then install the software from the link below,

This should fix the problem
I receive an error "Job has been done improperly. Check the log.

i have a canon mp510 printer and it prints properly but cannot scan
my canon mp510 print properly but it can´t escan
Our MP510 Printer scanner will not scan - though it prints ok. When trying to scan from the PC it begins the process of scanning, but then returns the error to the PC screen "Cannot communicate with scanner, cable may be disconnected or scanner turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. Code 2,155,0
Called Canon about this just today. I have same problems as everyone - prints fine, copies fine, snags on scanning. Tries to scan, always gets interrupted in the middle of it, saying "cannot communicate".
Reading some solutions on the internet, I went and bought a new USB cable - still didn't work.
Tech support said it was likely something else on the computer interrupting communication - firewall, or antivirus or something. The problem was not solved when I hung up. This printer is only about a year old....:/
I got the same problem with my Canon mp510..
I tryed to instal the printer on an other PC. Then there was no problem with scanning. so it most be something on our pc..
It will opy and print but not scan. Driving me nuts
Same problem here. It doesnt even engage the scanning mechanism. Press buttons and nothing...
All other functions on the printer works fine with the exception of the scanner. Worked fine when I first bought it but all of a sudden won't scan anything!
