Windows 10: Canon Pixma MP240 Scanner not working since latest Windows 10 update

Looking for help for this problem. Haven't used my scanner since the last Win 10 Ver 1909 update on Feb 9 & now when I use it, I get the message
"Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed".
The printer works as normal. Went to Canon's website and I don't see any new driver downloads available & they say Win 7 driver should work. I uninstalled the printer & reinstalled using original cdrom, rebooted computer & still have the same problem.

:)

 

Canon MP240 Scanner No Driver (Unsupported)


Check whether the Windows 7 driver will work. It might work, but no guarantee. Then see whether it works with Paint.

Hello,

Test the scanner driver (for all windows) : https://driver-canon.com/canon-pixma-mp140-driver.html

Hi, this appears to be the genuine Canon driver page

Note the 'Have a question?' box bottom left. If you are unsure as to which driver is which, that may be an option, or there's the Canon Community:
Printer - Canon Community
and this:

Do you see a scanner entry in the Device Manager? E.g. here:



(Ignore the fact mine has a yellow triangle - there's no Win 10 driver for it...)

What O/S did you last have it working with? Have you ever had it working with Win 10?

There may be something here, but I suspect it's rather trivial:
