Hi quality scanner recommendation?

[brn2rnjk1]

Our Canoscan 900f isn't being recognized by our iMac (El Capitan). After some internet search, it appears it is a hit or miss problem and may be time to get a new scanner. What do people suggest for high quality scanning of photos etc.

Thanks!

Have you downloaded and installed the most recent driver for your scanner?

I have the Epson Perfection V370 which is similar in functionality. Check out the Perfection range. I believe they are the best unless you go into the thiusands of dollars.

Thanks. I did d/l the latest driver and still not working. Will the Epson work with El Capitan?

Almost. Mine works with El Capitan but needs to be prompted with a mouse click a couple of times during the scan. The button on the unit does the scanning under Yosemite but this also isn't working yet.

OP:

Have you tried the VueScan app?

If not, download it and give it a try. It may "see" your scanner when other apps do not.

VueScan quits when opening? Any thoughts on that? I am running El Capitan.

Which version? Version 9.5.35 was updated January 3, 2016. and is supposed to support Mac OS X 10.5-10.11.
