scanning on the Cannon MP970 printer

Post by peale »

I want to scan a photograph to a file on my PC using TurboPrint on the above printer. However, in searching the menus in the TurboPrint Control window, I could find no scanning procedures. Can I scan and create a file with TurboPrint?

Hello,

TurboPrint is only a printer driver, it doesn't support the scanner part of multifunction devices.

However, the scanner driver project "SANE" seems to support the Canon PIXMA MP970:
