Does anyone on this list have this scanner? Does it work with Mac OS 10.3.9?

I don't have a problem with using it in OS 9.x but want to use it 
with my Flat Panel iMac and my Powerbook. I download the OS 10 driver 
software from Canon's website and followed the instructions:

Double-click [Canon PI CS-U Installer] in the folder to start installation.

After I do that I get a box that says "Now finding install locations. 
Wait" This is followed by a box that is labeled "Install Location:: 
and it has 4 buttons at the bottom: "Add Install Location", "Install" 
"Remove Install Location". and "Quit" The first button and the last 
button are active, with the other two grayed out. There are no more 
instructions.

So what do I put for the install location(s)?

On the disk image are folders labeled:

Into CMPrefs
Into Lib_CFMSupport
Into Plug-in
Into Pref_N065
Into Pref_N122
Into Users_Shared

While a search of my harddrive doesn't find any folders with those 
names; I DO find a CFMSupport folder, several Plug-ins folders, and 
some Shared folders, one of which is in the Users folder.

So should I add the following as install locations:
Users/Shared
Library/CFMSupport
Library/Plug-ins

And what do I do with the CMPrefs & Pref_N122 items? The CMPrefs 
folder has three files, only one of which seems to be for the N1220 
and according to Get Info is an ICC Profile. The file in the 
Pref_N122 is named n122u.dat and is called a Mac Wavelets WBIN 
document.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
