What scanner works with Lion

I currently have an Epson 1260 scanner. Epson is not updating the drivers for this model.
What is reccommended for scanning docs and photos ( not high volume ) at a reasonable cost ie up to $US 250 ?

Epson has updated the driver for the 1260 scanner. It can be downloaded with Apple's Software Update, if your scanner is connected. See here: http://www.epson.ca/cgi-bin/ceStore/support/supportLionDetails.jsp?BV_UseBVCooki e=yes&oid=14553#stage1
Problem is, the "updated" driver is terrible. It only does a tiny fraction of what the old TWAIN PowerPC driver could do. The new driver is good for 1-bit black and white text and not much else.
I have found VueScan's support for the Epson 1260 to be pretty rotten too.
This is just one of a long list of reasons why I will not be installing Lion.

What joysticks work with Lion and X-Plane

What joysticks work properly with Lion and X-Plane 10?

I no longer have X-Plane, but the last one I got that worked back in 10.5 was a Gravis.

I recently install Lion OS on my iMac and just found out that my Canon 4400F scanner won't work with Lion, what can I do to get it working again?

I am having trouble with some of my previously installed software before installing the New Lion OS. I just found this evening that my Canon 4400F Scanner will no longer work with the new OS. I need to know if there is a solution for this short of buying a new scanner? I am also upset that my Microsoft Office Professional will no longer boot as well. Anyone know why this took place?

If it will not longer work due to Lion, it's most likely becasuse no drivers for Lion have been released. No way to get aroud it other than going back to Snow Leopard. MS Office wont work if it is '04 or earlier becasue it is a PPC application. Mac switched from PPC to Intel in 2006 and created the Rosetta emulator to allow companies to make their software compatable or allow users to buy new software. After 5 years, Rosetta support was dropped, with the release of Lion. No way to get this software to work with Lion.

For Lion installation the recommendation was not to use the drivers on the included disk, but to download them directly from the Epson support site. I managed to install with no difficulties. Now the NX430 is working seamlessly with 15" MBP (Lion, 10.7.2); 13" MBP (Snow Leopard, 10.6.8); 27" iMac (Snow Leopard, 10.6.8); 15" Dell (Win7). I am sorry to hear that it did not work for you.
Ditto, most Printer/scanner manufacturers are getting up to date with Lion compatable drivers now. Most are available from their websites. Some still want to install old scanner software which is PPC so will have to downgrade to SL again, because they won't look for Lion compatable software. I find VueScan still an excellant program which works fine with my 3 yr old Cannon Pixma.

What NAS will work with Lion

Also OpenOffice and LibreOffice and NeoOffice can and cost less.

What quality photo scanners work with lion

i am having trouble finding a quality photo scanner that will work with lion. epson web site is terrible. are there any photo scanners on the market that come with the appropriate drivers?

I wonder, can you tell me please, if VueScan will allow me to use my Epson Perfection 1650 Photo scanner using the TPU in order to scan slides and 35mm photo negatives?
I cannot get any sense out of Epson. It appears that Apple have tested this scanner with OS X Lion and given it the thumbs up. But I can tell you that for scanning slides or negatives it does not work. Same applies to the Epson Perfection 2580 Photo scanner.
I can still get the Epson Perfection 1650 Photo scanner to work but it is a "workaround" I use Parallels 7 with a Windows XP VM. Software is TWAIN 5.71. Alternatively, I have an old Windows XP Laptop, also works on this again, using TWAIN 5.71.
Why so hard to scan a photo negative, or a bunch of slides using reliable Epson scanner that even worked on Snow Leopard, now we have upgraded to Lion?

What HP LASER PRINTERS WORK WITH LION?

I just upgraded to Lion and now none of my existing HP printers will work... Does anyone know what HP printers will work with Lion?

Is Apple in cahoots with HP to make us all buy new HP printers?
Considering HP provides the drivers and Apple just ships them, I'm not sure you can blame Apple.
Glade you found a solution.
By the way, I've been using an HP M1536dnf black & white laser printer, scaner, fax attached via ethernet into my router. After HP released updated Lion drivers, it has worked find for all the multi-function printer functions over the network. It also supports Airprint from my iPod Touch (after I applied an HP provided firmware upgrade to the printer).

What version of photoshop works with Lion?

I have CS2 and it doesnt work on the new macs. I need to buy the new Adobe products. Which version
can I buy and have it work with the Lion software?

The current offerings, CS6 for a permanent license, or the CC/Lightroom subscription should work with Lion depending what you want.

quicken should work with lion.
Quicken Essentials will work with Lion. Most people that have used Quicken for a while (i.e. Quicken 2007) have found that Quicken Essentials isn't much better than a basic spreadsheet. It is a significant step down from previous versions and does not offer many of the features previously offered. Right now, it seems like the two most common options are iBank and MoneyDance.
Frankly... this is a major opportunity for these companies. The largest commercial distributor of this type of product has been Intuit (Quicken). That makes it hard for any other company to get any of that market as so many people were already using Quicken and may have had years of data stored in it. Now, with Quicken effectively out of the picture, it's a great chance for another company. Just imagine if iPhones were suddenly off the market. That would give other manufacturers a tremendous opportunity since they wouldn't have to fight an up hill battle against a market giant.

What versions of Adobe Acrobat work with Lion

I would like to purchase Adobe Acrobat Standard for may Mac with Lion installed. It's not clear from the Adobe web site which versions of Acrobat are compatibile with Mac and Lion. I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Rick

This article from Adobe http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html (scroll down to "Acrobat Family") says the plug-in doesn't work with Safari 5.1, but the app itself works with OS 10.7 and 10.6. I don't use Acrobat but this implies that the latest version should work with Lion. Maybe an email to them will get an answer for sure.

http://support.apple.com/kb/dl905

Will an epson photo 2400 scanner work with OSX 10.7?

Will an epson photo 2400 scanner work with OSX 10.7?
If so where do I get the drivers/software to run it?
I have used it with aquire, but only in flat bed scanning.
I am not able to use the film/slide mode anymore because the software that came with it is for 32 bit macine code.
Any ideas?

I realize this isn't a direct answer to your question, but I have an Epson Perfection 1670 flatbed scanner. I plugged it into a USB port after installing Lion, and it works fine with both the Image Capture and Preview applications. ("FIne", for me - I don't have a need for slide/transparancy scanning. Image Capture recognizes the scanner can do it, giving two modes for transparancy scanning, but in a quick and dirty test a minute ago it didn't seem to work. Since I don't need the capability, I'm not going to struggle with it to see what I've done wrong.)
Good luck

Scanner dilemma with Lion

I have an old Canon scanner Lide 600F whose driver will not work with Lion, and Canon has no driver that will. I am prepared to buy a new scanner, but am unable to find one that guarantees it works with Lion. I also understand from Apple that Lion will automatically load a driver to my MacBook pro if the manufacturer has provided them one that works with the scanner. This means the issue is what scanner can I get that is guaranteed to work with OSX 7? I've asked my local dealer, a real pro, and Apple Tech support and no one has an answer. This is bad news.

Thanks. Yours was a good tip. According to the chart, my Canon Lide 600F should have worked as the Canon update should have been downloaded with the Lion. But it did not work. Since then I have screwed things up by downloading a 2.1 driver, scanning a document to print, and saving that as a pdf then take a snapshot of it off the cscreen and use the photo. Now I have to figure out how to get rid of all that and try to get this Canon Software Update v2.6 in there to run my 600F. Your response was most helpful but I fear I'm too lame to figure all this out, but I'll work it. Thanks.

Apple Remote stopped working with Lion on iMac

My white Apple Remote does not work with Lion on my iMac 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo anymore.
I'm sure it was working recently as I was able to control the volume on my RadioShark application. Now that doesn't work anymore and I can't seem to get the remote to work with anything.
I've tried restarting my iMac, swapping the remote's battery, and using another remote but still no success. The only response I get is from the remote's 'Menu' button which, when pressed, toggles between two graphics on screen - one a four-way arrow indicator with a centre button, and the other what appears to be a Forward/Back, Centre button with corner indications for Expand/Shrink.
I've tried the 'Pair' option but pressing 'Menu' and 'Fast Forward' does nothing on screen - no sign of the chain-link 'Paired' symbol. Neither of the white remotes I tried is 'Paired' with the iMac.
It seems I must have done something to cause this but can't think of any change I made that could be responsible. I know Front Row is no longer accessible in Lion, but is there any other app I could test my remote on? Any kind of hardware reset needed? (unlikely, I know, with two separate remotes showing the problem).
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm replying to my own question because my remotes are working again.
I'm not sure what I did to fix the issue, but I tried shutting down all open applications (I remembered that by default Lion re-opens with everything as it was). And shortly afterwards I got full functionality back for my Apple Remote.
I'm not sure what caused the issue. I did install Easy Timeline, which I'd downloaded today from the Mac App Store. It has Apple Remote functionality, so I'm not sure if it was in some way implicated. It's working now with my remote, as is iTunes, and RadioShark.
Weird!
