Since almost nothing works with this terrible Operating System I wish I had never installed, I don't want to buy a flatbed scanner until I know it will work with Lion and would appreciate any help
thanks

thank you
this gives a link to websites such as canon global
would really like toknow if anyone has actually used a flatbed scanner priced under $100 with Lion
There a massive list of printers and scanners further down.
My Epson Perfection 2480 Photo works.
Thanks again
I thought these were all printers of multis but I found some scanners!!
My CanoScan LiDE 210 works fine on Lion.
Thanks!
According to the Canon site the LiDE 70 up have Lion drivers but I'll probably get the 210 just on your recommendation
Hey
I didn't mean to give myself the correct answer!!
You can see from this link that there is the scanner driver for the LiDE210, which you need to install for the new version of MP Navigator. There is also the ICA driver, if you want to scan using Image Capture. So if you do buy the 210 then use these drivers rather than what is in the included CD.
thank you
i plan on doing lots of 3D scanning
all the LiDE scanners are cis types and don't do 3D
planning on an epson
My Epson Perfection 2480 Photo doesn't work since upgrading to Lion. In applications everything to do with the scanner has the white circle with the diagonal line through it. I tried un-installing everything and re-installing the software but I get the message that Lion no longer supports POWER PC. I'm wondering why yours works Daniel and mine doesn't... very strange!

Because he's not using the PowerPC Epson scanning software. He probably added the scanner in the System Preferences' Print & Scan section as I did for my Epson Expression 1680.
Thanks Lanny... I'm not 100% sure on how to add the scanner in the System Preferences' Print & Scan section but I will give it a go... cheers, John
Power up your connected scanner and add it with Print & Scan. If that works, you can use the scanner from that section or by using the Image Capture application.
Then, Image Capture:
or, Print & Scan:
or, from Preview's menu: Click on File, then, Import From Scanner.
Thanks sooooo much Lanny... it works! I was just about to go out and buy another scanner, so you've saved me a lot of messing around, not to mention a few hundred dollars! Thanks again for your time and advice, I really appreciate that... cheers, John
You're welcome.
what flatbed scanner compatible with Lion
