Posted July 20, 200717 yr Hi, I have a multifunctional Canon Pixma MP830 all-in-one device and has worked for a long time with no problem. But nowadays, i'm receiving error "cannot communicate with scanner" which is very common error about Canon's Twain driver. I have no problem acquiring to the TWAIN, however i can see the twain interface but the problem comes out while scanning process is about at half, it fails scanner's lid stucks and freezes saying error "cannot communicate with scanner". The biggest and strangest clue is that MP Navigator (Canon's standart scanning soft) fails during scanning, but another applications like MS Imaging and Scanning Wizard or ACDSee can scan "fine" using "canon's Twain SCANGEAR MP". As i said, i've installed TWAIN and software with obeying instructions very carefully and i didn't do any wrong failure during scanning or installing. I've tried these with no luck: 1-Removed then re-installed all the Twain drivers 2-Re-installed MP Navigator 3-Tried using lower DPI, even in 100 dpi i got error, if i use 300dpi on another softwares usually it works. 4-I set services automatic which were set to manual and started. 5-I tried different USB ports. I have no idea and the biggest change on my XP SP2 was installing .NET Framework 2.0. Note: I also have a Canon digital Camera using on the same computer, on the same USB port. However changing different ports did NOT help. Finally, i'd been using this scanner really fine till now. I cannot blame hardware because other apps works OK lower then 300dpi or with 300dpi. Please take care and share your experiences. Also, i couldn't find a direct feedback mail form towards Canon, however plenty of users claim tech support of Canon is not good. Regards.
