No driver for Canon Lide 80 scanner?

I recently bought a Mac Mini with Lion installed to replace my old Windows PC and upgraded my late 2009 Imac to Lion to be able to use iCloud between my UK base and my second home in France. Everything went well until I realised that neither my Canon Lide 80 scanner or my Canoscan 4400F wwould work with Lion. I am waiting for a responsse from Canon but, meanwhile, any ideas for a workaround? My trusty old HP 920C printer is recognised as a generic printer and works fine but, it seems, there are no generic scanner drivers.

Thank you John. Vuescan worked for my Canoscan 4400F but, in fact, led me back to Canon support where the driver and toolbox, formerly unavailable, had been updated to my scanner. A very satisfying solution.

  • Driver for Canon LiDE 500F and Mac OS X 10.7.3

    I can´t make the scanner Canon LiDE 500F work with OS X 10.7.3 - CanoScan Toolbox "failed to open a driver."

    You may need to get the LiDE 700F. However, try the driver for the 700 and see if you 500 will work with it:

    I am unable to install a software driver for a Canon film scanner FS4000US. I have downloaded it from Canon then open the package click the install and it asks for a location namely the Applications folder. Then it says it has been installed re -start etc, but still no driver.

  • ICA driver for Canon MX512 scanner?

    I've exhausted Canon Support, trying to get a Canon PIXMA MX512 multifunction printer/scanner/fax machine to work on my father-in-law's dual 2.0 GHz processorr PowerMac C5.  They do have a printer driver, downliaded from their website, that allows it to work as a printer but the only driver for the scanner function is the TWAIN driver which only works on Intel processors.  They suggested that I try the scanner using Image Capture, but Image Capture doesn't recognize the scanner.  Canon does not have an ICA driver, and no plans to create one.  The frustration is that both the Box and the Specification sheet says that the Minimum System Requirements for the MX512 on Mac is "Mac OS 10,5,8, Intel Processor, PowerPC G5, PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) 512MB." Unfortunately on their website ONLY there is an "additional disclamer" footnote 18 which reads "System requirements vary by application"... a "cop-out" which really means that all the functions may not work on your computer, which means if it doesn't work, you're stuck with it!  Even the Canon support tech was frustrated after an hour working with me and consulting his co-workers and reference sources.  So.... does anyone out there know of an ICA scanner driver, canon or 3rd party that might work for this Canon MX512?  The frustration level is high.....

    I'd see if the older version of VueScan works for the MX512, it mentions the MX510...

  • Missing raw file driver for Canon S90

    I miss raw file driver for Canon S90. The software delivered with the camera works, but it doesn't work in finder, Aperure and so on, just in Canons own software. When will the driver be available for SL?

    Apple hasn't said anything about it, but they're always quiet on everything (I think this works to their advantage for new products, but it works to their detriment for product updates.)
    Anyway, they recently released the latest Camera RAW update and surprised a lot of people by not including the S90. Adobe had problems with the S90 -- images would "load" but looked poor. I can only guess Apple also had problems and decided to push it to a later date rather than hold up the whole stack of RAW camera updates people had been waiting on (typically they release an update with support for a list of cameras).

  • Universal Scanning Program for canon lide 30 (older scanner

    i have a canon canoscan lide 30 scanner. the drivers and toolbox are not supported with leopard. you can get it to work but theres alot of work arounds , turning off permissions on folders etc. so i was wondering does anyone know of either a free program or a inexpensive one, that i could use my canon lide 30 scanner with. i tried the program vuescan, cost 40 but wanted to see all my options cause i'm done with trying to make canon drivers and programs works
    thanks

    Elements 2 should work in 10.4.6. Install PE, then download an install the latest driver for your scanner. (Elements (any version) is not scanning software on its own--it's just that many scanner manufacturers include a PS/PE plug-in for convenience.)

  • Missing scanner driver for Canon MG3560

    Hi there,
    I've installed the software for the Canon MG 3560 all in one printer as well as the Canon IJ scan Utility however when I try and launch the scanner utilty it comes up with an error message " A scaner driver supporting this software is not installed. Install it and try again. Code:15,230,0"
    And when I try and launch the Quick Menu that runs the printer the scanner section is blank.
    Does anyone know what software I need to install to support the canon IJ scan utility? Is it a mac os software install? The printer is working fine so its just the scnner that has issues.
    Cheers

    This is the log for the IJ Scanner installs - I cant see any install failure but there might be some other info here that makes sense to you?

  • Scanner driver for Canon DR-2580C desktop document scanner

    Hi
    Does anyone know if there is a driver for the Canon DR-2580C document scanner which will work with Snow Leopard? The scanner shows up in the System Profiler under the USB section. The Canon web site only lists Windows drivers for the scanner and a Google search was unable to find any reference to a Mac OS X driver. Any suggestions other than purchase a scanner which is Snow Leopard compatible?
    Thanks advance!

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    At this point in time, Canon only offers three models of DR scanners with Mac OS X support; the P150, the DR2010C and the DR2510C. Your DR2580C has no official Mac OS X support.
    So you could look at third party packages like VueScan or SANE, although these tend to offer support for the consumer scanners rather than the high volume business scanners.
    Or you could get a virtual machine application for your Mac like VMware Fusion or Parallels and run Windows XP, Vista or 7. This may prove the cheapest and easiest option if you don't need to scan all the time. But if you need to scan often then I suggest having a Windows computer permanently connected to the DR2580C and share the scans folder so the Mac can connect directly to it.

  • Can't get Canon Lide Scanner to work in PSE 10

    I just belatedly upgraded to Snow Leopard... and got my PSE 6 to run without freezing by using a suggestion posted by Barbara B. ("Photoshop Elements for Snow Leopard") - deleting the Adobe Twain Driver.  My Canon Lide 80 scanner always worked smoothly in PSE 6 in Snow Leopard, but PSE 6 was crashing prior to removing the Adobe Twain plug-in.  Since I had not upgraded PSE in a while, I decided to download the trial of PSE 10 and put it through its paces before I purchased. 
    The first thing that I did was move the driver, ScanGear CS 7.2X into the import module as I had done in previous versions of PSE.  The next thing that I did was make sure that Rosetta was loaded onto my operating system.  I believe that with this new system Rosetta is automatically employed without having to put a check in the box as was with the case in Leopard, because there is no box to check, and the Apple care tech told me that it would run as needed.  When I boot up PSE 10, I receive the message, "One or more plug-ins is currently not available on your system...", the system info states that it failed to load and the ScanGear CS 7.2X plug-in does not show up as a choice for inporting. 
    This is a great scanner, so I am unwilling to dump it, PSE 6 works if worse comes to worse, but I would like to upgrade to PSE 10.  I am currently running on OS X 10.6.8.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Barbara B. wrote:
    You must go into Applications>PSE  10>optional plug-ins>ImportModules, and move the TWAIN plugin into Plug-ins>Import Modules before you can scan with any scanner. However, if you must have rosetta to scan, you will not be able to scan into PSE 8,9, or 10, no matter whether Rosetta is installed on your mac or not. There is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8 came out. In that case, you can either use Scan Gear or get a newer scanner, if there's no intel-native plugin on canon's download page for your model.
    Thank you for answering me so quickly, Barbara B.
    It is interesting to note that there is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8.  That really explains the problem.  The optics of my scanner are really good and the scanner really does work well in the "right' software.  
    I did as you instructed: moved the TWAIN plugin from Optional plug-in>ImportModules to Plug-ins>ImportModules, and restarted the computer.  Then I rebooted PSE 10.  The TWAIN import did not load... does not even show up in as there but unloaded. 
    Any ideas?  Could this be because I am using a trial version?

  • Windows 7 driver for CanoScan LiDE 80?

    Since upgrading to Windows 7, 64 bit, I have searched for a driver for my Canoscan Lide 80. Trying various suggestions to use other drivers like XP, Windows 7 32 bit have all failed. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks.

    Hello owg1!
    Canon USA does not have a 64bit WIndows 7 driver for the CanoScan LiDE 80 scanner.  We're so sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!  We don't recommend installing other driver versions onto your 64bit Windows 7, but feel free to Contact Us for possible upgrade options available.
