Canon MP160 Printer working / Scanner not recognised

[Daneyboy]

Hi,

MP160 printer working but computer will not recognise scanner function of MP160 printer. Has been previously working until recent driver updater software installed.



Have manually reinstalled Canon MP160 driver software, printer is working but scanner not recognised.



Win 10 OS and usb connection to printer.



Canon diagnose and repair tool says all working fine.



Windows fax and scan software says no scanner detected. This was the software I have always used to scan documents.



This is the correct driver that I have been using for years.

Canon PIXMA MP160 MP Drivers Windows 7 (64-bit),
Windows Vista (64-bit),
Windows XP (64-bit), 1.01 22 MB


Any help appreciated.

You can try this:

Do that for any other Canon Icons
