Lexmark scanner suddenly won't work with Cataline 10.15.7

Sorry you are having this problem. from what you describe, it sounds as if the Lexmark software is not yet compliant with the latest version of Catalina that you installed. I assume that Lexmark will again update their driver, but there is no way to know how long it might take, unless you ask them and they respond. In the meantime, as noted, Imagineer Capture should work, although it will not be full featured. You can also look into purchasing Due Scan. It is full featured. You can download and try it for free. Good luck.

Thank you for the correction. I normally check my text before posting, but apparently I forgot to. What I wanted to say was this: Image Capture should work, although it will not be full featured.

You can also look into purchasing VueScan. It is full featured. You can download and try it for free.

I am intrigued because I developed the same issue, updated the printer firmware and driver (version2.0) and I have retained the problem. You don't have a screen shot of the driver on the Lexie site? filename, or url please?

Apple did not decide to change everything again. They made available an update to our operating system which addressed operational issues, which we all were free to install or not. It is Lexmark's responsibility to ensure that their drivers are compliant with the various operating systems out there around the world. Apple can not be responsible for writing the drivers for literally many hundreds of printers and scanners out there today. They do not have access to the proprietary code. They do, however, keep all vendors such as Lexmark fully advised as to all upcoming changes in their OSs. It is Lexmark's responsibility to support their products.

You might try this: Download macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Combo Update.

Try using Image Capture.

If all else fails give the demo version of VueScan a try. If it works you can purchase it.
