Q: Upgrade from SL to ML, lose high-res scanning

Can anyone tell me why My Canon MP640 can scan at all resolutions up to 4800 x 9600 when I'm running Snow Leopard, but I'm limited to 600 x 600 in Mountain Lion?

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    Well, at least the kind folks at Canon USA were able to find me a work-around using manual entries in their bundled scanning utility -- 4800 and 9600 dpi working in ML!

     

    <editorial> Too bad Apple is now focused on eye candy and submerging OS X into the shallow pool that is iOS. Dumbing down Image Capture to no more than 600 dpi is one of many steps backward from Snow Leopard. </editorial>
