you need to remove all drivers and install the new driver by itself. and if that does not get it go to the troublshoot section and let it run a diagnostic and use the option that it gives you

Hi,
The Drivers & Software for Canan PIXMA MP270 are available from Canon Official Support. Visit the above link, Select the OS (Operating System) you have on your PC (like Window XP, Vista or 7) and download/ install the required drivers/ software

In this case Try to Do a Wia scan i will tell u how..........
Windows Vista: Go to Start/All Programmes/Windows Photo Gallery...........
There you will see an option saying File click on that and now on the drop down click on Import from Scanner or Camera.........Select ur scanner from that list and click on Import.............
If it doesnt scan and does the same thing it insists that there should be a Problem with the scanner.........
If that works..........
Software Problem.............
Uninstall and Reinstall the software................

Good Luck..................

Hi m_morris9,

Welcome to FixYa! How are you doing?

You did not specify what version of Windows 7 do you have, whether a 32 bit or a 64 bit.

Please try to download and install the Driver of your HP Photosmart C3180 Printer.

• If you have a Windows 7 64 bit, download the driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-74950-2&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4063&product=1146331&sw_lang=&key=null&site=null

• If you have a Windows 7 32 bit, download the driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-74950-2&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=1146331&sw_lang=&os=4062

Hope that helps. Thank you for using FixYa.

I would try the canon website to see if there are any updates to your printer.

Do you have the full software (MP Navigator) installed? Get that software here: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp510#DriversAndSoftware and select your OS. Since the printer is a USB printer, is it directly connected and did you install the software before connecting the USB cable? If you didn't install the software before you connected the USB cable, uninstall the generic driver from the OS and remove the USB cable. Then install the software.

If the full software was installed before connecting the printer, try a new cable and a direct connection (instead of a print server or USB hub). Scanners require bi-directional communication with the computer and can fail when the printer works. Make sure the monitoring program is running before attempting to scan from the all-in-one.

Next try to scan from the computer first. There are buttons in the MP Navigator software that set the destination and default settings of the buttons on the all-in-one. After you scan at least one item, you will have a better idea of the settings that you need to use. See the MP Navigator help files for the details.

If you install the basic Canon driver, you will be able to scan but not from the unit directly. Windows XP and newer all come with Paint that can acquire scans (File > Import from Camera or Scanner > New Scan). Windows Vista and Windows 7 have Windows Fax and Scan that can also scan files (New Scan). Photo Gallery in Windows Live (comes with Vista) also handles scanning.

The generic OS driver usually only runs the printer.

I hope this helps.
