does the scanner work for macs? I saw the announcement on 2013 that they will have a mac version. Well, 2015 is less than a month away

This scanner does not work for macs. I bought it in June 2014 and I am still waiting for them to have ready the driver. So far no news. You can check this on their website (http://www.piqximaging.com) and go to FAQ.

I have not received any software updates, so I don't think they have it ready yet.

BTW it now works on Mac after various driver upgrades, usb only scanning, only some of the tools on the mac can use it as a scanner, but it has improved. Did I mention that toner is more per page than most other units....

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

What sucks is that the HP software makes scanning super easy for the PC but on a Mac you have to go through preview or image capture, etc. and it takes longer... more tedious. Personally I wish they would update the software so scanning works with Mac as well. But other than that, I love the printer!

1. Printer, yes....downloaded software from Canon labelled for 1.5.8 to 1.6 something ... prints fine, shows photo of machines, and a subpar local web page status monitor - but have NOT YET got the scanner to send to the imac, though it does to a Windows machine on the network, ... installs software for Window didn't help Mac2. Am downloading scanning software from here ... NO IDEA how successful I will be! http://mac.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=124419&t;=0&i;=2

Hi. I can't answer with 100% certainty because I'm a windows user. But, Plustek offers drivers for the Mac. If I had to guess, I suspect most users are Mac Users. If you want to be 100% certain, I strongly recommend calling Plustek support. They been very helpful.Related note...The conflict between the scanner and the network has not as yet been resolved. However, the Plustek support contact continues to be willing to try to solve the problem. Meanwhile, I still 'disable' the network when scanning.

We are a Mac (Apple) household. I say that because the printer comes, of course, with a 'scan' option and settings. These only work on Windows PCs. Not a problem though since the way to scan on a Mac is to use the Image Capture application that comes with the Mac OS. It works very very well. As for scanning pictures, the quality is very good.

The disk that comes with the scanner states that the scanning software runs on Mac OS9 / X Classic. I bought the scanner in 2003 and was disappointed to learn that Canon will not produce a driver for Windows 7, so they are not maintaining compatibility with the most recent operating systems. Therefore I am keeping my old Windows XP computer as a scanning system. For more information I suggest that you contact customer support at Canon.

THIS scanner is color. But I have no idea if it works on a mac. It certainly makes excellent scanned pictures & documents in color and black & white.

Hi, Can anyone confirme if (in Snow Leopard) the ImageCapture or Preview app can scan from this scanner (if USB connected) ?I wouldn't like to use brother's software...Thanks very much,Dany.

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.

This scanner DOES work with a Mac. I use it with my MacBook Pro. I usually just download any scanned photos from the memory card.

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.

It scans to the microSD internally and not a live streaming of the scan into the computer. Yes it does work on mac. It's seen as a storage device by your system.

Yes. It appears on the mac like an SD card reader, and the scanner dumps its output to the card. It does not work with Preview, Image Capture, or other scanner software. But it doesn't need it; it handles the scanning to the card itself.
