Asked by Melinda

I have Canon MP250 printer, scanner, copier, and I'm using Ubuntu 10.4 version. The scanning function is not working at all and does not let me scan. I get the following error message below as seen in the screen-shot attached. Thanks!

Yes I did have trouble with my scanner before an I never did solve the problem on 10.4. If you look at my post here's what I wrote "Well still couldn't get this scanner working in Ubuntu 10.4. So I just moved back to 9.4 and that solved my problem." But with the help of these instructions from this site http://ubuntica.com/pixma-mp250-on-ubuntu.html my scanner is now functioning properly. Hope it lasts. But Thanks for You for help. God Bless!
