CanoScan Lide 35 with High Sierra

Hi,

I have followed the steps suggested by user 'fl00w' to get my old Canon scanner (CanoScan Lide 35) to work with my MacOS High Sierra.

"Guide to installing Canon CanoScan LiDE 35, 50 and 60 on Mac OS X 10.8. Mountain Lion:

FIRST PART: DELETING OLD LiDE DRIVERS AND SOFTWARE

• If this is the first attempt to install the scanner, skip this part
• Trash the following files/folders from these folders:

HD:/Library/Image Capture/Twain Data Sources delete the CanoScan CanoScan XXXX.ds file (Make note of any other files that may be in this folder. If other files are present, move them to the desktop for now. Then place them back after successfully using the scanner.)

HD:/Library/Preferences delete the 'CanoScan XXXX' folder

HD:/Users/Shared delete the folders containing the name CanoScan, or starting with CNQL.

HD:/Applications delete the CanoScan Toolbox Application

HD:/Users/YOUR-MAC-USERNAME/Library/Preferences delete any items named "CanoScan Toolbox"

Restart your computer, then empty the trash

SECOND PART: MAKING YOUR SCANNER WORK

• Make sure your scanner is well connected
• Download the right driver depending on your Model. Also download the Scanner Software. Copy the filenames and search them via Google. Make sure you download the Canon files from an official Canon domain.

CanoScan LiDE 50 and LiDE 35 work both with the 35 driver: lide35osx7721en.dmg

CanoScan LiDE 60 driver: lide60osx11131en.dmg

VueScan Software: http://www.hamrick.com/#download VueScan 9.2 (or later) x32 for Mac OS X

Alternative to VueScan: CanoScan Toolbox.

I prefer VueScan.

Try your luck with Version 4 or Version 5.

CanoScan Toolbox 4: cstbosx4934ej4.dmg

CanoScan Toolbox 5: cstbosx5014ej4.dmg

• Open the downloaded driver file (lide35osx7721en.dmg or lide60osx11131en.dmg)
• and Double-click the ScanGear file, install and restart when prompted
• Open the downloaded VueScan file (vuex3292.dmg) and drag the VueScan application to the Mac Applications folder
• Open the VueScan application. The scanner should be recognized automatically.

(Alternatively try and install CanoScan Toolbox 4 or 5)"

There are a couple of things I'd like to mention about the above guide:

If you want to use the VueScan application, you don't need to install any driver. You just install the app and your scanner will work...after you pay $20 or $55.

Before cleaning my Mac and reinstalling High Sierra, my CanoScan Lide 35 used to work using the above-mentioned drivers and toolbox (5.0). However, since the cleanup, I've tried in every possible sequence but the driver just won't be recognised by Canon Toolbox!

Any suggestions?

Thanks
