I had to buy a new scanner when the perfectly good Canoscan 2400F was working like new.Scanners can be tricky peripherals, and I don't have much experience with them. However it never hurts to try a few things if you have an older scanner that you'd still like to use:
- Try OS X's Image Capture.app (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3694) found in /Applications/Utilities. You might get lucky.
- Try a 3rd-party driver like VueScan (http://www.hamrick.com/). Hamrick.com provides a free trial.
If the results are not satisfactory, sometimes the ease of integration of a newer device trumps heroic efforts to get an older peripheral working with the latest computers and operating systems.
