Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / May 2008Canon scanner and Leopard
Having been unable to get my oldish Canoscan N670U working under Leopard, I was about to give up and buy a new one when I came across this link: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=235&modelid=6624#New%20Window I know it's not the right model, but it worked for me (despite the installer throwing up warnings), and saved me freecycling a perfectly good scanner.

Is this PPC or Intel?

I can now scan using the Canoscan toolbox (PPC) on an Intel iMac under Leopard. I can also select the plug-in from Word, and import that way. But not, curiously, using iPhoto, whose new-fangled Help keeps crashing when I search for something.

ISTR doing that back in the Jaguar days, and I can't remember where they are. Google probably does :-) Cheers, Chris >>>> Having been unable to get my oldish Canoscan N670U working under >>>> Leopard, I was about to give up and buy a new one when I came across [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > It sounds like it is Universal.

I hadn't noticed that I've got another Scangear in the root of the apps folder. It's a different version though - older (copyright 2002, version 7.0.1.0x, as opposed to 2003 and 7.0.1.1x). >> an Intel iMac under Leopard.

Word runs under Rosetta, so it can use PPC plugins. iPhoto will be running natively, and can't. Thanks for the link though.

Yes - it doesn't work using Graphic Converter, but then it's looking for a twain driver. iPhoto can't use a scanner period - seems a bit daft but there it is. I'm just happy it works :-) > Thanks for the link though. Pleasure. On Tue, 8 Jan 2008 12:14:35 +0000, Rob wrote >> PPC then.

I'm just happy it works :-) Graphic Converter can be run under Rosetta. I have two copies of it in my App folder, one set to open in Rosetta for the very purpose of being able to use the Canon scanner plug-in for my ancient N65U or some number like that.

Thanks for saving it from the skip! Six years old and still working well.
