How to find compatible flatbed scanners for Sonoma 14.2.1 on iMac

I purchased an $89 Canon LiDE 400 flatbed scanner that also happens to be supported by Apple's built-in AirPrint once connected via USB. I happen to use the optional, (free trial) VueScan Professional with it, but Apple's Image Capture sees and scans from it too. I did not install any Canon software that came on their DVD.

This scanner works fine on my M2 Mac mini Pro with Sonoma 14.2.1 and on my 2021 16-in MacBook Pro M1 Pro with Ventura 13.6.3.

A few months ago, my old CanoScan wouldn’t work with my new iMac (Sonoma), so I bought a CanoScan Lide 300. I had problems setting it up, but eventually I found someone at Canon who helped, after being told that they hadn’t developed software to work with Sonoma, and probably wouldn’t. There’s a program called “IJ Scan Utility Lite” in there which works just fine. Have scanned hundreds of photos since. No problems except one: the buttons on the actual scanner don’t work, but who needs them, anyway.

At least my Canon CanoScan LiDE 220 works on Sonoma. Then there is VueScan that supports many old scanners sadly abandoned by their manufacturers (I briefly tried VueScan but prefer Canon SW).

My Epson Et-3760 printer has a flatbed scanner that works with Sonoma 14.2.1.

VueScan does not support all scanners, nor does it support certain scanners without first having a working vendor driver installed. The VueScan site tells you this when you view the support page for the specific scanner.

Have looked on the HP site?

Matti--thank you for your response. Vue Scan was the third-party software that didn't work with my scanner. I'll try Canon SW. If not, I'll have to get a new scanner.
