2nd option
Connect the USB cable directly to a USB port on the computerIf you are connecting the device through a USB hub* or other USB device, disconnect it and try connecting directly to a USB port on the computer. If successful, the problem may have been with the device.*Some scanners are powered by the USB connection. This is why connecting the scanner through another device, such as a USB hub, may prevent the scanner from communicating properly with the computer.Connecting the cable to the your device.Connecting the cable to your computer.
-----------------------------------
3rd option
Disconnect other device and reboot computerA device attached to the computer is blocking communicationOther devices attached to the computer can block proper communication. Check to see if there are any devices (other than USB keyboards or mice) connected to the computer. Disconnect the device(s) and restart the computer. Once the computer has restarted, attempt your process again.

4th option.....
Move data source file from TWAIN Data Sources folderThird Party Data Source FileIf TWAIN scan applications quit unexpectedly when launching or display an error message then quit, move third party data source files from the TWAIN Data Source folder*. Open Library, Image Capture, and TWAIN Data Sources, and select the data source file. *If there is only the Canon Data Source (in the case of network-capable models, there will be 2 sources), then delete the file(s) following the steps below, then download and install the latest scanner driver from the Download Library at the Canon USA web site. You can temporarily move the data source to another location such as the desktop or if the file is no longer in use move it to Trash. To move the data source file, drag the file while holding down the command key ( ) to another folder or to the desktop. To move the file to Trash, select 'Move To Trash' from File menu. In the Finder menu, select 'Empty Trash' to delete it. In the Apple menu, click 'Restart'. Now, launch the scanning application to use the scanner.

This is getting pretty complicated. The printer worked fine for many months - then we scanned a couple of documents - scanning still works - just printing doesnt - i dont have the competence or confidence to do some of the stuff you are suggesting. Happy to make some payment for your time but i think i prefer to get someone to physically do this stuff for me - i have a person who helps but they have been on leave.
