CanoScan N670U flatbed scanner, Will it run in LION

I have a Canon CanoScan N670U flatbed scanner. Does anyone have an idea if someone has new drivers or if there in the works so it will work with Mac OS x 10.7.1 Lion? Or is this Canon scanner just another paper weight?
Thanks

You should give Vuescan a try. It shows the N670U as a supported scanner.

Is my perfectly good CanoScan 656U flatbed scanner really obsolete after Windows XP???

I own a CanoScan 656U flatbed scanner and on occasion, I dust it off and use it. Well, after attempting to use it on my Windows 7 computer, I had to contact support because no drivers were found and I was prompted to call an 800-phone number to contact Canon. I was told that there are no drivers beyond Windows XP. The young lady was very pleasant and apologetic and offered a discounted rate to purchase a new scanner which would include free shipping. She also offered to assist in recycling the old scanner. Thanks a lot, Canon!

Hi Techneaux,
You can try to plug the scanner into your computer and then perform a Windows Update to see if this will allow you to use the scanner; however, since we do not have drivers for the scanner that are compatible with Windows 7, we cannot guarantee that the scanner will work with that operating system.

I have a Novatel U998 Turbo Stick that will not run on Lion because it is designed for 32 bit. HELP

I have a Novatel U998 Turbo Stick that will not run on Lion. Can Lion be run as 32 bit? If so - how??

Lion includes a hybrid Kernel, as well 32bit and 64bit core OS. By default it will boot the 64bit part.
press 3+2 keyboard combo on bootup. This forces 32bit mode for the Kernel ( the apps are still 64bit default ). 6+4 will force 64bit mode.
The 32bit Kernel can load 32bit drivers ( kernel extensions = *.kext files in /system/library/extensions ).
The 64bit Kernel will not load any 32bit drivers
if a Application makes problems in its native 64bit mode, you can force it to run in 32bit compatibility mode by revealing it in Finder, "get-info" on the Apps Icon and checkmark "run in 32bit mode".
No matter which kernel is booted, 32 or 64 Lion can always execute 32 and 64bit apps.

Is it true that MS Office Suite will not run on Lion?

is it true that MS Office Suite will not run on Lion?

Office 2004 was written for PowerPC. To run Office 2004 on an Intel based Mac, you need Rosetta to translate PowerPC instructions to Intel instructions. OS X Lion no longer includes or supports Rosetta. As such, any application written for PowerPC no longer work on Lion, including Office 2004.
Office 2008 and Office 2011 were written for Intel. They'll work just fine on OS X Lion.
To address your problem, you can do one of the following:
1) Reinstall OS X Snow Leopard from a backup, if you made one.
2) Upgrade to Office 2011.
3) You could use a suite of productivity apps that can import Office documents, such as OpenOffice, or Apple's iWorks. There will be some incompatibilities between these applications and Office though.

InDesign CS4 will not run under Lion

I have InDesign CS4 and Design Suite CS3. All my other CS3 apps run under Lion. The Upgrade to Lion failed leaving my internal unbootable, so I installed and migrated to an external drive. But after the upgrade to Lion all of the other CS 3 aps run, IDCS4 will not run. I get the following message:
Adobe InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign.
I used the uninstaller and reinstalled. No affect. I made the Library folder visible. No effect. I cant

There is a very long list of incompatibilities with Lion:

I'm sure there are many more that are unknown.
FWIW, I highly recommend sticking with Snow Leopard for now and when you do upgrade, do so as a clean install.
John will be along soon to tell you to ignore the man behind the curtain.

IMac March 2007: Will it run Mountain Lion?

IWork '09 programs will not run on Lion

I have iWork 09 installed on my MacBook Pro. After installing Lion, none of the three software programs will open. I get an error telling me to contact the developer and make sure I am running the most current version of the software. I have run all the standard Software Updates and everything seems to be up to date. I have tried downloading the iWork updater v9.1 but when I run it, it tells me that my version of Keynote is newer than the update and then quits.
Anyone have any ideas?

Will my MacBookPro3,1 Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz with 4GB Ram run Mountain Lion?

Hi everyone. I have a MacBookPro3,1 Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz with 4GB Ram — will it run Mountain Lion? My hard drive has 615 Gigs of free space. If so, is it worth it for me to upgrade? Will all the new features be available to me. Presently I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53). I heard that there is an update 8.1 out there with developers as of yesterday.
Thanks.

Hi John.
Yes, an erase and install sounds like a good idea. I just need to check my Adobe CS5 software to see if I need to upgrade the suite. If that is the case, then I may need to put it off for a bit. Thanks so much for your help.
I have a newer MacBook Pro at work, but usually wait to upgrade it, till I've been running it at home on my personal computer for a while. Would hate for it to mess up my production schedule.
Thanks again and have a good evening.

I have an older HP5550C flatbed scanner that works with 10.5 and 10.6 but not on my new iMac running 10.7

I have an older HP5550C flatbed scanner that works with 10.5 and 10.6 but not on my new iMac running 10.7. Surely there is software that will allow older scanners to work on OS10.7. My MacBook Pro runs 10.6 and the

Although the HP Scanjet shows up in the system profile for the computer it is generic and is not configured (as in screen shot). It also does not show up in the ;ist of pritnters, scanner when I open Image Capture. I can't load the software that came with the printer because it is out of date so that would make it impossible to configure the scanner on the new iMac. see below: Too bad there isn't some generic profile I could load that would cover the 5550c. I have a new all in one printer-fax-scanner but the old one can scann in slides and negatives which I have.

HT3669 My Epson Perfection 1200 scanner functions as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimet

Epson Perfection 1200 scanner continues to function as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies/film negs the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimeters. All the communications seem to recognise the scanner and the mode for the intended scan but the necessary overview scan is not completed, nothing comes up on the Image Capture scan window. If I unplug the film adaptor I can get a document scan. When I plug in the adaptor again the Image Capture details change which allows me to select the type of scan required but when the scanner attempts an overview scan it is unable to complete it.
I have had the scanner from new (12 Years) and have previously scanned slides and film with the adaptor but maybe this was before I upgraded my computer (imac 27").
Do I have to buy a new scanner? It seems so close to working correctly.
I have downloaded the Epson recommended driver (5.4) and have Epson Perfection 1200 6.6 Universal showing in the Applications List.
Any thoughts or observations would be much appreciated before I go out and spend money an new hardware.
Thanks

I have same issue - have you solved this yet?

Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow. Any help anywhere?

wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

I'm looking for a flatbed scanner than can scan documents that are 11" x 17"

As the title states, I need to scan some documents that are 11" x 17". These documents are inked comic pages on vellum, which is sort of a thick, semi-translucent kind of paper. I think I'll need to lay these pages flat to scan them, instead of running them through a sheetfed scanner.
Every Office Depot or Staples I visit has multi-function devices from HP and Epson that can scan this large. However, I've always had issues with devices from these companies, be it driver problems or hardware problems. I've also had a Mustek scanner in the past and it rapidly stopped working. I'm very happy with Canon products and would like to stay with this brand. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear Canon makes a flatbed scanner this large, and it's hard to tell if any of their multifunctions can do it.
The question is: does Canon offer a product now, or have they offered one in the past, that can scan this large of a document? If not, who can I talk to about product ideas? My alternative would be scanning the pages one half at a time and then trying to join them in Photoshop, but who has that kind of time?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Commercial Printing requires images to be 300 dpi (pixels per inch).
You will have to do the maths as we don't know how big the images are, whether they fill each size or only part of them.
If they bleed (go off the edge of the paper) they will need an extra 3/8" (.375") on each edge.
So for an image to fill the largest size and bleed you need an image 7425 x 11025 pixels. I hope you have a good camera. You can aways reduce the dimensions down from that.

Epson Perfection 4490 photo scanner will not on latest mac pro

My epson 4490 scanner will not work on my new mac pro. Downloaded the lastest driver from epson and nothing.
Any ideas guys?
Much Appreciated

The issue commenced with 10.5.2
Here is the answer from Epson, and it works:
To get the Epson Scan scanner driver running on the Intel Core Duo mac, a
complete cleanout and reinstall may be required.
In this case we would recommend using the following steps to get a full
cleanout of all hidden files from earlier Epson Scan version(s) and a fresh
install:
UNINSTALL
Note: the files found will vary by OS and driver version. Not all files and
locations will be present. If one file cannot be found, just skip to the
next item. If an EPSON SCAN or EPSON SCANNER named file is found in an
adjacent location, you can trash it. Do not remove any other EPSON files.
1. Go into HD, APPLICATIONS, UTILITIES and open ACTIVITY MONITOR. Highlight
the EPSON SCANNER MONITOR process and click STOP or QUIT PROCESS to FORCE
QUIT the process. Close ACTIVITY MONITOR.
In HD, APPLICATIONS - move EPSON SCAN and EPSON SCANNER MONITOR to the
trash.
2a. In HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT, EPSON - remove EPSON SCAN, if
present. Also check the contents of the Epson folder. Remove only files
inside it that are related to the scanner, for example EPSON USB SCANNER or
EPSON FW SCANNER BUNDLE.
2b. Check in HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT. There may be other Epson
files. Any files to do with the Epson scanner name or Epson Scan you can
remove from here.
3. In HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT, TWAIN*, TWAIN DATA SOURCES - remove
EPSON SCAN, if present, and any files bearing your scanner's name. (*The
Twain folder may not be present on all OS 10.4 Macs.)
4a. In HD, LIBRARY, IMAGE CAPTURE, TWAIN DATA SOURCES - remove any Epson
scanner-named ".ds" files, for example the bearing your scanner's name,
EPSON STYLUS or PERFECTION #### X.ds
4b. In HD, LIBRARY, IMAGE CAPTURE, DEVICES, remove EPSON SCANNER.DS, if
present
(This is a generic resident scanner driver. Once the Epson scanner software
is working properly it will not be needed, so it can be deleted.)
5. In HD, USERS, (YOUR USER NAME), LIBRARY, PREFERENCES - remove EPSON
(scanner name ####) PREFS, if present
6. In HD, USERS, (YOUR USER NAME), LIBRARY, PREFERENCES, EPSON - remove
EPSON SCAN and EPSON SCANNERMONITOR PREFS, if present
Once the above files have been moved to the trash, you do not need to empty
the trash. Simply restart your Mac. You are ready to reinstall.
DOWNLOAD
If you have not done so already, use the following steps to obtain the
download for the new Intel Core Duo driver:
1. Go to http://support.epson.com
2. Select Scanners, then Epson Perfection Series, then your scanner model
name.
3. Under DRIVERS & DOWNLOADS select Macintosh.
4. Download only the driver marked for the Intel Core Duo system.
Installation instructions:
1. After download is complete, double click the icon that appears on your
desktop. This will create a disk image on your desktop.
2. Open the disk image.
3. Double-click the EPSON SCAN INSTALLER icon to begin the installation.
4. Enter password and follow prompts to install the driver. At the EASY
INSTALL option, use the up/down arrows and select CUSTOM Install. Check
ONLY your scanner model before clicking INSTALL.
5. After installation is complete, quit the installer and restart the Mac
before testing.
To test this driver, do the following:
1. Launch Epson Scan by going into your HARD DRIVE, APPLICATIONS, and EPSON
SCAN.
2. If prompted, select your scanner from the list of models and click OK.
3. In the FILE SAVE SETTINGS window, you can designate the location, name
and type of file the scans will be saved as.
-LOCATION defaults to HD/USERS/(YOUR USER NAME)/PICTURES. Click CHOOSE if
you wish to change this.
-PREFIX determines how the scan will be named. Type any name you like. You
can also designate a start number.
-FILE TYPE dicates what format the scans will be saved in. ie. .JPG, .TIFF,
.PDF, or .PICT)
-For example: if the prefix is "img", the start number is "1", and the
format is "JPG", the name of the file saved in
PICTURES will be "IMG001.JPG"
4. Click OK once settings are changed as desired.
5. The EPSON SCAN window will open and begin scanning in FULL AUTO MODE. In
FULL AUTO MODE the software makes all the decisions for you (as to what is
being scanned, where it is on the flatbed, etc). This is the easiest way to
scan.
6. If you want full control over the scanning process click PAUSE and
change FULL AUTO MODE to HOME MODE or PROFESSIONAL MODE. In the latter two
modes you can change your scan settings as desired. Click SCAN after you
have selected your settings. Click CLOSE once the EPSON SCAN is finished
scanning.
7. When scanning is complete, your images will be saved in the location
specified on FILE SAVE SETTINGS, with the prefix and in the format you set.

Hp 6700 flatbed scanner not working

I have an hp6700 officejet printer. The flatbed scanner has stopped working. When I hit the overview button in black and white or in text mode, the overview scan bar comes up and completes but the overview doesn't show up in the window. The document won't scan in black and white mode either. It will, however, function in color mode. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello ksz95,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue scanning in black and white from the scan bed of your Officejet 6700. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
To start out, I have a few questions for you.
Does this also happen if you're doing a scan from the ADF feeder?
Does this also happen when doing a copy?
When did the issue first occur?
Also, this document: Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans, may be helpful to you. I know from the title of it, it doesn't sound relevant to your issue directly, but some of the steps may help with resolving it. Please try it out and let me know how things go.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
I worked on behalf of HP.
