In Irfanview, if you go to File > Select Scan/TWAIN Source does it list your scanner? If it doesn't, then the TWAIN drivers were not installed. Run the CD Setup program and install them.

In case you don't have the CD, go to http://canon.com/ijsetup . To find the correct printer you need to specify your location.
If you do not have the setup card for your printer either, you can find it here

not sure how to connect that printer uisng wifiAre you using USB at present? For WiFi setup, the easiest way should be to run the Setup program from the CD and select Wireless LAN Connection rather than USB Connection. Also, have a look at

i se that. but when i click that nothing happens
It sounds as if you do not have the TWAIN driver installed (although Irfanview should tell you that there are no TWAIN devices available).
Go back to the CD and run the SETUP program. There should be a selection to install scanning drivers. Irfanview supports both TWAIN and WIA scanners. It is possible that the CD does not have scan drivers for Win10. In that case go to the link I gave in my last post ( http://canon.com/ijsetup ) and download the setup program from there. (How old is the printer? I hope Win10 drivers are available.)

then you can scan from PAINT > File > import from scanner or camera
i see that option
i see that option
and were you able to scan that way? i suppose so, but it's not clear from your post
ASKER
i have ij scan utility already
can't you just tell us what you did, instead of posting a YouTube? i have no time for that
ASKER
ij scan is working for me
I have faced this issue so If you have any antivirus or firewall software on your computer, then to resolve the scanner you must temporarily disable them and then attempt to scan again, as sometimes these programs can block the scanning process of the printer and if you are using a wireless printer, you need to ensure that the IJ Network Scanner Selector is running on your computer. you can also visit Canon Tech Support
