Ok - for any and all bits of external hardware - when purchasing, if it doesn't say the OS requirements is it safe ot presume that it'll work with everything?
VueScan should do the trick. No need to trash your scanner.Jem said:Correction here! You CAN go wrong with Canon very easily!
I had a Canon D646U scanner and it's the only piece of hardware I've had to totally ditch since moving to the iMac as there is NO driver support from Apple or Canon and no plans to implement it.
Oh yes, and my Canon S300 inkjet printer also caused problems with sleep mode but it's now working fine since I printed a document on it...
Assume nothing, it'll save you returning items later

You can download a trial version first to see if it works. If it doesn't, then there is no harm, no foul. It's worth a shot even if the particular model you have isn't listed.Jem said:Thanks for that link, I'll give it a go, but according to vuescan's compatibility list the D646U is not mentioned at all.
To be honest, at $49.95 (or $89.85 for the pro version!) it's nearly as expensive as replacing the entire scanner so I'm not sure if I want to find it works or not!!!
OUCH!
