Driver for Canon LiDE 210 with my OS 12.0.1 Monterey

I'm on Monterey 12.1, had the same problem, then installed the "ICA Driver Ver.4.1.4a (Mac)" driver from Canon Support website. After that, scanner was instantly recognised in "Printers & Scanners". Don't waste money on VueScan.

Dear Mjunderdog,

Sure. Maybe it's the regional thing, also might be Google-result dependent. I'm from UK by the way.

The link is https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/products/scanners/lide_series/canoscan_lide_210.html?type=drivers&language=&os=macos%2010.15%20(catalina)

In case it gets removed, broken or anything, here's how I get there:

• Google for "canon lide 210 drivers"
• then, pick results coming from Canon Support website

• under 10.15 Catalina section (disregard the Catalina, it will work on Monterey!), there's "ICA Driver Ver.4.1.4a (Mac)" (see the screenshot attached). This is the very file which worked for me two days ago.
• install that driver
• then, scanner will appear under Apple > System Preferences > Printers & Scanners

Thank you, Royston. The version you mentioned in your earlier email, Ver.4.1.4a, was released Sep 2019, and, showed up as Catalina compatible. But, I did search again, and, found this... Ver.18.2.0(Mac), released in Sep 2021. I installed this driver and my Monterey MBP now works with the scanner.

Thanks, again.

Best,

MJ

Give the demo version of VueScan a try.

I think the intention of the VueScan Professional recommendations is if the vendor either no longer supports the scanner, or the vendor drivers do not work. In some cases, VueScan Professional may require working vendor scanner drivers, which dilutes the need for VueScan unless it provides features, not in the vendors' or Apple's Image Capture scanning capabilities.

FYI, I have a Canon LiDE 400 that works well with Image Capture on Monterey.

I went to canon's website, and searched both the support and the whole website, and, couldn't find any result with ICA Driver Ver.4.1.4a (Mac). Can u post the actual link? Thx.
