Canon Canoscan 8800F with Snow Leopard?

Anyone know if the Canoscan 8800F will work on SL? I'm not upgrading until I know for sure!

24 inch Al iMAC 2.8 GHz, 2gig ram, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

I just received my Snow Leopard disk. Looks like I'll have to wait until Canon releases their 500f driver before updating. At least its on there!!

For those who've prematurely upgraded to Snow Leopard and found their scanner requires updated drivers not yet available, there is Apple's +Image Capture+ app in the Applications folder. Some scanners will work with this without the need for the manufacturer's software drivers. Read more in this Apple doc:

_Mac OS X: How to scan with Image Capture_

...And for those who haven't yet upgraded to Snow Leopard and prefer not to wait for updated drivers, if +Image Capture+ works with your scanner and current version of OS X, it's likely to also work in Snow Leopard.
