Canon LiDE 500F with Intel Mac? Return it?

[netdog]

I just brought home a Canon LiDE 500F scanner from The Apple Store. They said it will work with my Intel Macs, but I have seen posts that it didn't used to and Canon's own site does not mention Intel compatibility.

Anybody know if they have fixed the driver?

Should I return it?

bump!

yep this is the file you need

lide500fosx11250en.dmg

it's available here --> http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=235&modelid=11011

you need to choose Mac OS from the drop down box to get the mac driver

apparently scangear toolbox doesnt work, but if you install the driver you can scan using "image capture":)

Image capture will likely only give you a fraction of the functionality. I got the supplied software to run on my MBP (10.5.2) but I wished I hadn't. It is awful. I am sending the scanner back - there must be something better than this for Mac users...
