My exact question. I recently went up from an iMac G5 to a new iMac with Snow Leopard. Suddenly my 4 year old HP scanner is no longer compatible with my MAC. I need to know WHICH units are actually supported by Snow Leopard.

Tony: I have only used the scanner with a USB connection with my Mac, however, I don't think it has bluetooth capabilities as there is no other connection available. I am not familiar with Scan Power software so I can't help you there. Sorry.

I have a MacBook PRO I use the S510 scanner with and I have had no problems at all. So yes, this scanner does indeed work with MAC. Hope this answer helps.

It did not work on my Mac, which is only one year old. It has something to do with the software not allowing it to communicate with the driver for the scanner. I tried everything to make it work. I ended up going and buying a Windows Laptop so that I could use the scanner. It was very easy to connect to the laptop, Windows 8.

I'm running 10.6.8 and it's working on the iMac. You may have to download updates or something. Unless you are doing large format, one of the lower priced scanners may do just as well for you. I think some of the newer ones don't require the warm up times etc. this one does. I've had it for quite a while and haven't had any major issues, occasionally you may need to unplug it and do a restart on it, but you probably know how to do all that stuff already. Have fun.

I have a macbook pro and it does work. i went to the scanners website and found a download for the driver, installed it and it works.

Yes, this scanner works just fine on my Mac Mini running Snow Leopard. You need to get the MP Navigator EX 2.0 download from the Canon Website to have all the CanoScan feaures. However it will also work via Image Capture and the drivers included with Snow Leopard - less features is all.

Dear Beth, The scanner can scan document in Colour & Mono.It does compatible with Mac but the software we sent as a free gift cannot apply to Mac.The software is used to edit your scanned document.

Yes, the supplied scanning software works great with a Mac. I use it with my Macbook Air.

I'm not sure if it work with OS X Lion but I can test it out for you. I know for sure it works for OS X Snow Leopard because that is what I'm using it with. I have OS X Lion on my iMac but never tried playing it on it. I can give it a go a little later on today and get back to you. I will edit this answer once I give it a try.

I purchased this printer today. I'm using it with a Mac and wireless networking. Everything works fine except the Scanning Software. When I try to start the software it says "Epson Scan cannot be started..." I can't even open the software let alone get it to work. I've deleted and reloaded the software from scratch on two occasions without luck. I also downloaded the software from Epson for Snow Leopard and installed that, along with the latest driver from Apple. Still no luck.Can anyone offer some advice?

I just checked another seller's description of this device, which indicated it is compatible with a Mac with OSX 10.4 version or later. I use a IMAC too, and needed to know this information before making my purchase of this item. Hope this helps you.

I am glade that it works on Mac now. I am thinking about buying one for my small office all-mac environment. You mentioned that the scanner only works with usb. Have you tried network to scan? Another thing I keep wondering, in general, that all the all-in-one should have an option to receive fax as a digital document instead of printing it out. If you find it, please do let me know.

It does not work on the mac OS BUT you can get around that if you want to work on a mac. I bought parallels for Mac + Windows XP, which added a condsiderable expense to the already expensive scanner, but being a previously disorganized grad student, this scanner helped a lot. It was worth the money. If you use it this way, it will work just about as well as on a PC (I used it on a dell previously). Maybe if you upgrade to the new Mac OS, you'll be able to use bootcamp (which I believe is included) and then all you would need is a copy of windows to install.

I have this device and use Mac OS Mountain Lion. The scanning feature does work as long as you install the driver (available on their website). The only feature the Mac does not allow for is the OCR feature.

I have snow leopard. I think I went to Epson's website and accessed the directions for the scanner. I'm not very tech-savvy, but it wasn't really all that complicated.
