Q: canon lide 90 mavericks

Canon's site says that the CanoScan Lide 90 is not compatible with 10.9. Has anyone found a way to get it to work? thanks

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Jinet,

I was about to let you know that the CanoScan LiDE 90 does not work in OS X 10.9 Maverics, but now I can verify that the CanoScan LiDE 90 scanner does work, at least somewhat, with OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

I upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks the day after it was released, but could scan using my CanoScan LiDE 90 scanner using VueScan v. 9.3.17, the scanner program that I have exclusively used with this scanner for the last several years.

I reinstalled the drivers which are meant for 10.5-10.8 (LiDE 90 Scanner Driver Ver. 13.9.2a), but the scanner still did not scan using VueScan.

I then tried Apple's Image Capture, but it still didn't scan.

In the process of writing this post about how the scanner does not work in 10.9, I tried MP Navigator EX 1.0.7, the latest version of Canon's own scanner program, which I had installed some months ago. I almost never use this scanner, but MP Navigator was able to scan from my LiDE 90! It scans whether I chose "Use Scanner Driver" or not.

Even after I scanned a few documents using MP Navigator EX, I was not able to use VueScan - it claims that there is no scanner, so it appears that there may just be an issue with VueScan, I am not sure.

I hope that helps!

Hopefully Canon will release updated drivers that are completely verified for 10.9. In the meantime, it appears that MP Navigator EX works.

JIP-1,

Thanks. I tried VueScan 9.3.21 a few days ago, but it did not work.
I then tried to install the 32-bit version of 9.3.21 and the scanner now works great.

Which version did you install? 32-bit or 64-bit?

David

The file doesn't say (I don't see it at least). Date of creation is Nov 6 if that helps. Just glad it works.

Epson has posted updated scan apps as of Nov. 26 - at least, for the Artisan 810, and perhaps for others. My 810 is set up as a shared network printer, and I had to run the Scan Settings app before the Scan App would recognize the scanner. Once that was done, Photoshop Elements once again recognized the scan function; it works fine now.

Hi,

Was it the 64-bit or the 32-bit version of VueScan 9.2.24?
I used to use the 64-bit version, but could not get that to work. I reverted to the 32-bit version of VueScan and have not had any more problems (but have not tried the 64-bit version since)

Thanks!

David

Hi, this is the 32-bit version downloaded from their website. Note: it is version 9.4.24 and NOT 9.2.24

Thanks for the update. And thanks for the correction: I meant VueScan version 9.4.24. I'll stick with the 32-bit version until I hear that the 64-bit version is working. I never saw any difference between the versions - if anything, the 64-bit version was a bit (pun not intended) slower.

vuescan also works with CanoScan Lide 60 ;-) - actaully the scanner is probably not worth the price of the software but I needed it today!

I installed the driver from the Canon page that is made for OS X Mountain Lion

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/scanners/canoscan_series/canoscan _lide90#DriversAndSoftware
Details - LiDE 90 Scanner Driver Ver. 13.9.2a (OS X 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8)

It worked for me with Mavericks 10.9.2.

Apparently TWAIN-Scanner-Support was removed in Mavericks. Here is a quick and easy fix to get it working through System Settings / Printers & Scanners. However, I have not been able to use MP Navigator Ex (yet), it is crashing right at the beginning.

I acquired this scanner today and was attempting to get it working under El Capitan. I initially installed the 64-bit version of VueScan along with the latest driver issued by Canon (msd_-mac-lide90-13_9_2a-ej7.dmg). The 64-bit version did not even recognize that the scanner was plugged in; the 32-bit version, however, works great.
