7, Please can be connected to BCH technology. does anyone out there know of an ICA scanner driver, canon or 3rd party that might work for this Canon MX512? The frustration level is high. Canon PIXMA MX512 Driver PIXMA MX512 is a high-quality printer from Canon company that has a maximum resolution of 4800x1200dpi, this printer is also known as multifunction printers or all-in-one printer because it can be used to print, scan, and copy in one device. a 'cop-out' which really means that all the functions may not work on your computer, which means if it doesn't work, you're stuck with it! Even the Canon support tech was frustrated after an hour working with me and consulting his co-workers and reference sources. The frustration is that both the Box and the Specification sheet says that the Minimum System Requirements for the MX512 on Mac is 'Mac OS 10,5,8, Intel Processor, PowerPC G5, PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) 512MB.' Unfortunately on their website ONLY there is an 'additional disclamer' footnote 18 which reads 'System requirements vary by application'. Canon does not have an ICA driver, and no plans to create one. This function may not work properly depending on the document language. Color scanning is not available for Text(OCR). Scan using MP Navigator EX - MX512 (Windows). They suggested that I try the scanner using Image Capture, but Image Capture doesn't recognize the scanner. PIXMA MX512 Home Articles Articles Detail.

They do have a printer driver, downliaded from their website, that allows it to work as a printer but the only driver for the scanner function is the TWAIN driver which only works on Intel processors. I've exhausted Canon Support, trying to get a Canon PIXMA MX512 multifunction printer/scanner/fax machine to work on my father-in-law's dual 2.0 GHz processorr PowerMac C5.
