Hi Gerard,

Go here, select Mac OS from the pulldown menu, and download the installer called “CSTb4130MXE.dmg.gz”. Use this to reinstall the Scangear application and then if necessary, try doing the fix in the article again with the LiDE80_7252MXEN.dmg.

If it gives you hope, I have it working fine on my iMac core i5, although now that I think about it, there was one point where it wasn’t working for some reason but started working again after I simply unplugged the USB cable and plugged it back it.

Thanks a lot for your help. I tried with Canon, but they are no help at all. It is a shame, they just want you to buy a new scanner or printer. I had a lot of help from HP for my old printers and scanners, very nice support.
But my LIDE 80 is working now thanks to your support. !!!!
Hope you can help other poor SnowLeopards to get there scanner started.
thanks and greetings

has anyone perhaps been able to make this work for any OCR applications? I use ReadIRIS 11.6 (well at least I want to use it). I have followed the instructions as far as possible except I can’t find any plugins folder for ReadIRIS and so I can’t do that part. Any thoughts?

I have trouble installing my Lide 80 on my Imac core I7 (switched from XP, new to Apple)

I lost the original disk but Installed the downloaded Canoscan toolbox ok (Snow leopard installed Rosetta automatically). Then I installed the driver from LiDE80_7252MXEN.dmg.

Problem is the Imac doesn’t seem to recognize the scanner at all, although it does appear in the ‘usb-device hierarchy’. The ’scan’ box’ in the toolbox remains empty and the scanner is not listed in the finder or on the desktop. It works fine with XP. Tried re-starting, different USB ports and alternative cable but nothing seems to work…

Yep… Apple makes this easy. Just drop the 10.6 DVD into your computer. When it appears on the desktop, you’ll see a folder called Optional Installs. Run the package inside that by the same name and you should be able to add rosetta support.

if I didn’t install rosetta in the first place: can I install it from the cd without re-installing everthing? that would get me into big trouble…
thanx!

pkkc, you’re right… “7275″ was a repeated misprint. It should read “7252″ and I’ll correct it when I get a moment. It’s just the plug-in, so install it in the photoshop plugins folder or if you don’t have photoshop, then install it in Applications->CanoScan Toolbox 4.1->Plug-Ins.

Ooops! I meant “Launched the 7252 version and it asks for a location to install, where shall I install it?”

Followed the tinyurl link and selected Mac OS X, only found the 7252 version there. No 7275. How come people can see LIDE80_7275MXEN.dmg??

Launched the 7275 version and it asks for a location to install, where shall I install it?

Thanks.
