Help! I need software for my scanner!

edited September 2011 in Help / Advice Forum
I've bought a Canon Pixma MP272 all in one printer / scanner recently, and somehow I have lost the CD with the scanning software on it. The canon website doesn't seem to have any software for it available - just a 'my printer' troubleshooting and diagnostics program.

Is there any free scanning software available out there? (I'm on windows 7)

    Your want the MP Navigator software (available here, for example). Alternatively, if it's a WIA scanner (dunno if it is) Paint.NET should work fine. Same deal with Irfanview.

    Click the following:
    Start
    All Programs
    Accessories
    Paint

    Click the blue (file) menu at the top left of screen and choose From Scanner.

    Follow on screen instructions.
