canon lide 90 mavericks

Canon's site says that the CanoScan Lide 90 is not compatible with 10.9. Has anyone found a way to get it to work? thanks

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Jinet,


I was about to let you know that the CanoScan LiDE 90 does not work in OS X 10.9 Maverics, but now I can verify that the CanoScan LiDE 90 scanner does work, at least somewhat, with OS X 10.9 Mavericks.


I upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks the day after it was released, but could scan using my CanoScan LiDE 90 scanner using VueScan v. 9.3.17, the scanner program that I have exclusively used with this scanner for the last several years.


I reinstalled the drivers which are meant for 10.5-10.8 (LiDE 90 Scanner Driver Ver. 13.9.2a), but the scanner still did not scan using VueScan.


I then tried Apple's Image Capture, but it still didn't scan.


In the process of writing this post about how the scanner does not work in 10.9, I tried MP Navigator EX 1.0.7, the latest version of Canon's own scanner program, which I had installed some months ago. I almost never use this scanner, but MP Navigator was able to scan from my LiDE 90! It scans whether I chose "Use Scanner Driver" or not.


Even after I scanned a few documents using MP Navigator EX, I was not able to use VueScan - it claims that there is no scanner, so it appears that there may just be an issue with VueScan, I am not sure.


I hope that helps!

Hopefully Canon will release updated drivers that are completely verified for 10.9. In the meantime, it appears that MP Navigator EX works.

Epson has posted updated scan apps as of Nov. 26 - at least, for the Artisan 810, and perhaps for others. My 810 is set up as a shared network printer, and I had to run the Scan Settings app before the Scan App would recognize the scanner. Once that was done, Photoshop Elements once again recognized the scan function; it works fine now.

I acquired this scanner today and was attempting to get it working under El Capitan. I initially installed the 64-bit version of VueScan along with the latest driver issued by Canon (msd_-mac-lide90-13_9_2a-ej7.dmg). The 64-bit version did not even recognize that the scanner was plugged in; the 32-bit version, however, works great.
