As of OS X 'Lion' all scanning functions that may have required third party software in the past are now incorporated in OS X. You do not need Canon's scanning software. Download Free Verbatim Rapier V1 Software. All drivers are included or downloaded as necessary when installing the printer, and subsequent updates are distributed with the App Store. There are now at least three ways of accomplishing a scan: using Preview, or the Image Capture app, or by choosing your printer in System Preferences >Print & Scan, and selecting the Scan tab.

Mr Hamrick is showing his Vuescan app as supporting the. But he also states that you need a scanner driver and to get that from Canon. So if Canon is not making a scanner driver for 10.8 (the last they released was for 10.6) then I'm not sure if you can get this to work. Sep 5, 2012 1:52 PM. I have exactly the same problem with my Canoscan 8400F which is a good scanner in perfect working order, and it wasn't cheap either. I will be upgrading to Mountain Lion and Adobe Photoshop 6 and can't get a driver update from Canon for my 8400F (even with P'shop 5 I can't use the scanner).
