if you have an old CanoScan scanner, you might have to reinstall TWAINbridge.app also ! IMPORTANT : do not forget to read this entire post, even all the notes at the bottom ! e.g. In that case, you will need to install some generic (FREE) TWAIN-drivers : …for some printers, like the Canon CanoScan LiDE 20 and LiDE 30, the TWAIN-drivers are not included in OSX. – then it will be listed in the previous (“Print & Scan”) System Preferences window, and if you select it (and you put a piece of paper or a photo in the scanner), a Scanning Preview window will show up, allowing you to scan your document to file or eMail or something else… – if your scanner is TWAIN-supporting, it will show up there, and you just need to select it and click on the “Add”-button – that will bring up the “Add”-window, which enables you to add a new printer or scanner – then, just below in the list of printers on the left, click on the “+”-sign – connect your scanner directly to your Mac using a USB-cable Here’s a quick step-by-step instruction :
In OSX 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.10 Yosemite and 10.11 El_Capitan, any TWAIN-supporting scanner can be used without any additional software.Ī list of supported scanners for OSX 10.9 Mavericks can be found here. But now I’ve bought a new Mac which runs OSX 10.11 El_Capitan, I can’t seem to install it, since Canon doesn’t update the drivers anymore. I have a Canon CanoScan LiDE 20 that used to work perfectly in MacOSX 10.6 Snow Leopard.
