Thanks for the reply. This was the first thing I tried after the scanner did not work properly; I just tried again and it doesn't appear in this menu for me. Did you do anything special to have the LiDE show up in this menu?
I am considering just downgrading my OS to Catalina since that was the last time it worked with my laptop. Currently I am switching between my personal/work laptop in order to use the scanner. There's also a piece of software available (https://www.hamrick.com/) for $45 that works with many back-models of printers and scanners.
It's a true shame that Apple continues to remove ports from their hardware, removing support for legacy software, essentially making all of our hardware useless. We can't even plug in a basic USB anymore without buying more dongles and adapters. Many people use Apple Computers for work purposes, and have done so for the past 10-20 years, and this planned obsolesce is a real slap in the face to people who have buying Apple for years.
