Same here. My Canon scanner is not going to work any longer.

And Canon is notoriously bad at updating their drivers, so my scanner will now be a brick.

VueScan to the rescue, it supports scanners from the 90s and is also a very good scanning app to boot.

VueScan works, but it is stupidly bloated compared to the macos native scan tool.

I remember how it was so easy to scan directly to multi-page PDF with my Brother portable scanner. The Apple build in capture software was just so easy and clean to use. Then Apple removed TWAIN support in snow leopard, and suddenly my 2 month old 400 euro scanner was no longer usable. :(
