Hello everybody

i have just located some new drivers for our CanoScan LIDE200 scanner that work in Snow Leopard.

I installed the scanner drivers and connected the scanner. When I pressed one of the function buttons on the front of the scanner, to my delight, Image Capture popped up and the scanner worked fine.

How do you add a scanner to Abbyy FineReader Express, does anybody know please?

I don't seem to be able to see any preferences window anywhere and only Files appear in the task list that's available.

I may also try VueScan to see if that sees it, and maybe even IRIS Pro. But Abbyy FineReader is by far the most accurate solution. I know you can scan to an image and then import that into FineReader. I may be forced to go that road. But the programme is supposed to handle scanners directly.

Gordon explained to me earlier that some Twain drivers are not native Intel-compliant drivers. And that is why sometimes they don't work. But in this case the drivers are specifically written for OSX 10.6 ? it specifically says so on the web page where I downloaded it yesterday.

Any help would be gratefully received.

I am not sure if you can. We have an HP Scanjet and ABBEY Finereader just saw it. I do not think the CanoScan series work directly with the application.

Hello James

That's how it looks, yes. We also have an HP scanner but it is connect to our time capsule. I wonder why it isn't seeing that actually. Gordon says he'll try connecting it to the Mac directly and see what happens.

You will most likely need drivers for that to work. We did.

I downloaded the OSX 10.6 latest driver set from the Canon website yesterday. The scanner itself works ? as in if I press the function buttons on the scanner, Image capture comes up and I can scan documents fine.

But FineRead and Vuescan simply won't see it.
