Hi, does anybody know where to get the driver for the scanner CanoScan Lide 210 for Mac OS Catalina? The old driver does no longer work. On the Canon website there is no driver available for Mac OS Catalina. Thanks for any advices or suggestions.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
The updated Canon driver (9/22/2019) seems to be available for the LiDE 210, but you cannot leave the Operating System selection on "Mac OS X (Detected)". Instead, click on the small triangle next to that; scroll up; and choose "macOS Catalina v10.15". Then the driver should be listed. The file name that I see is "ICA Driver Ver.4.1.4a (Mac)". It downloaded and installed successfully, but did not solve my problem, so I'll be phoning Canon technical support when they are open (Mon-Fri, 8AM to 8PM Eastern). My scanner never did become unusable, but since upgrading to Catalina, MP Navigator will only do 1 series of preview/scan/save each time that I launch it. After I save a scan, the Open Scanner Driver button ignores being clicked on. Exiting the MP Navigator application will revive that button, and I can do another preview/scan/save. The extra step of exiting and re-opening MP Navigator after each scan gets old really quickly. I don't see a new version of MP Navigator for Catalina listed on Canon's site yet.

Hi MidMoMike,
Thanks for your help. It worked :-) but I have the same problem as you, only 1 scan can be performed and then MP Navigator is no longer usable unless closed and restarted. Really annoying! So far on the canton website there is no new version of the MP Navigator, maybe they il upload it soon ... but in case not, it makes the scan of multiple pages a nightmare. Thinking back, it started with the Botton on the scanner that no longer worked at a previous update, now this limitation ... really bad. This is how to make money and how to waste things that are not to be thrown away yet.
If you find out anything to solve the issue, I would be glad to read you again. Thanks very much.
Hi Marcozh74,
I have a little more info today. I chatted online with a Canon help desk person. He hadn't been told any specific date yet, but he said that Canon's programmers are working on the next version of MP Navigator EX, which will be compatible with Mac OS Catalina. He guessed that the completion timeframe would be sooner rather than later, since it is currently being worked on. So, for the time being, all we can do is keep checking back on their site for that new version. For users who are unable to scan at all, Canon recommends the Mac OS built-in application, Image Capture, as an option to get by. Alas, that is a bare-bones application designed for being widely compatible, and not much else.
On November 12 I installed the new driver and the program, both. On Pdf it only scans one (1) page, trying next page it says the installation was wrong, try again. So I can only scan one page at the time..... Also The buttons does not work. Canon, please fix.
Hi there,
Thank for the update that gives some comfort. We will check out Canon‘s site to download the new version.
Kind regards
Hi there,
same with me. Till Canon does not provide a new software, I think we have to live with it ... but somehow disappointing.
Does anybody know where to get the driver for the scanner CanoScan Lide 210 for Mac OS Catalina?
