Are there any scanners that are compatible with OS X Yosemite?

I just bought the iMac with the 5k screen

27-inch: 3.5GHz with Retina 5K display

  • 3.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i5
  • Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
  • 8GB (two 4GB) memory
  • 1TB Fusion Drive1
  • AMD Radeon R9 M290X with 2GB video memory

I also bought a new scanner (Canon Scan 9000F MK II) but it's software isn't compatible with Yosemite "iOS 10.10". I returned that scanner and started searching for another one only to find out that most or all scanners and printers (at this point) are not compatible with Yosemite. So far, I haven't found one.

I was wondering if you could direct me to a scanner and printer that were compatible with Yosemite this way I can start using my new computer.

Thanks!

Michael

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

In order to get the latest drivers for a new scanner or printer, you must go ti the manufacturer's website and search for their driver and support section to see if their our any outdated/latest drivers for your OS X version.

I found updated drivers and software for that Canon scanner you returned.

The software and drivers that come on disc MAY NOT BE the latest, up to date drivers.

You can't rely that the drivers and software on disc are going to be up to date.

You MUST go the printer/scanner manufacturer's website to search for those latest software and driver support.

So I returned the previous scanner and purchased the Epson Perfection V600 Photo. I'm still having the same problems and I downloaded the latest driver for it. I also downloaded the driver for my previous Canon Scanner before I returned it. It wasn't working the way I wanted it to work.


It wasn't the scanner after all but I do like the epson better. When I get it to scan, it's scans faster and has more resolution options.


Anyway


Basically I want to be able to scan in Photoshop CC but it's not working the way it used to in previous machines/OSs/photoshops.

I used to be able to go FILE>IMPORT>SCANNER NAME and then continually scan until I was finished. That is not the case and I have noticed it's a problem throughout when doing some research to fix it. I can scan continually if I got to my system preferences, select the "PRINTERS and SCANNERS" and then click "Open scanner".


In photoshop CC I can only get one scan and then I have to close photoshop if I want to do another scan. It's annoying knowing that I was able to in previous machines. Any solutions or plug-ins that I'm missing?


Thanks so much for everyone helping out!


Michael
