I have this problem on my iMac running 10.8.2 and Mac mini running 10.6.1.

I have a Canon MP495 printer/scanner on my home network. As an admin I have no issues scanning or printing. When another user on these two computers tries to scan, he gets an error that the computer could not detect the scanner and that he should check the wire to the scanner.

So basically when the user tries to scan, the computer or the scanning driver thinks that the scanner is locally connected. When I am logged in as an admin I do not have a problem scanning.

Printing works fine for everyone.

Any idea of what is going on? and how to fix this problem?
