![]() ![]() When I click scan from the printer the display says"Set the PC to start scanning".I have also turned the cable modem and router off and on.I have downloaded the latest drivers, I have turned the printer on and off multiple times.The LCD display for PC now says Local (USB).I was relatively easy able to get the computer to print over the network.I transferred all previous files, applications, settings from my old Mac.I'm running on a new 27" 4K iMac which replaced a 2009 iMac.I am having the same problem and am going bat-crazy trying to figure out how to resolve it. I know there's a better way and this is a hack, but it works for now. To do that, I made a shortcut of C:\Program Files (x86)\Canon\IJ Network Scanner Selector EX\CNMNSST.exe and put it in my personal accounts Startup folder: C:\Users\Derek\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\CNMNSST.exe - Shortcut. So there's a right way to fix it, I am sure, but - kludge warning - I just added the IJ Network Scanner Selector EX program to my Startup folder so it runs each time I start my computer. When I first installed the printer this wasn't necessary, but apparently I tweaked something and now it is. Thus it appears, at least in my case, that having this program running at all times is necessary for that functionality. So I started IJ Network Scanner Selector EX again, and - WHA-LA! - my PC showed up again on the printer. However, I right clicked on the icon in the systray, and selected Exit to quit the IJ Network Scanner Selector EX entirely, and then - POOF - the printer could no longer see my PC. I checked and the printer could still see my PC. When I closed the IJ Network Scanner Selector EX program, it stayed minimized as an icon in the systray. I started IJ Network Scanner Selector EX as per verice's suggestion, and then the printer could see my PC instead of just the "Local (USB)" entry. I had this problem appear after I turned off a lot of the autorun and startup programs on my PC to speed up its boot time. ![]() ![]() I didn't change a thing, but somehow that got it to work again, and I can now go back to scanning via the unit itself, specifically Scan button > Start on the MX922, instead of having to initiate the scan from the computer. Finally I went to Canon Utilities,> IJ Network Scanner Selector EX > Scan from Operation Panel Settings (button was already selected) > MX920 series already had box checked, so just said ok. Turned it on and off several times as suggested by another post. So it suddenly no longer could find the pc to scan from the unit, even though clearly the wireless connection was there. Plus, I could print wirelessly, and could scan wirelessly if I initiated the scan from the computer via Canon utilities. Yet the wireless connectivity was there (I checked, under WLAN set up). Suddenly the scan function from the Canon didn't work, I just got "Set the pc to start scanning." WT? Why work all this time and suddenly not? Under scan>save/forward>select pc, only "local (usb)" appeared. ![]()
