I found the answer! A while back I bought some third party software, VueScan from Hamrick Software, to be able to continue scanning on my Canon MG6320 and it worked great. The R40 did not appear to be supported but indeed it is so I am back in business. There was a trick to getting the double-sided scanning to work but when I wrote to Hamrick customer support they quickly replied with the solution. This is no help to the original poster who shouldn't have to buy extra software to make his new purchase work. I love the R40 because it scans super fast and you can grind through a 40 page document quickly with the document feeder. It is super disappointing that Canon doesn't keep up to date with the latest Mac OS's but I still recommend the R40 because it is a powerful tool. I bought mine several years ago and I think I paid way more than $240!

this url takes you to the driver download, the scanner is actively being sold by canon. Are you selecting the right OS before downloading? Change the default to Sequoia. The file is about 100K

Per your other thread, can you just use the macOS app Image Capture to drive the scanner directly? That works fine with my HP and Xerox printer/scanners, and I've never needed to install drivers manually.

Did you open the .pkg file after downloading it – to run the installer that would put the actual driver in place?

You can't close it. The Hosts will close it once it has been inactive for 30 days. However, it will still be available for people to read.

👍🏽

Just to confirm, was the installer you tried "CaptureOnTouch_V.4.15.24.1223_Mac.pkg"?
