Ok so besides the LIDE 30 what other scanners work?

[Robert Nicholson]

So my experience with this LIDE 30 has been less than satisfactory. 
I've basically wasted half a day trying to get this thing to work and 
that's all I'm prepared to put in.

So, what scanners are considered "reliably" supported under OSX?

Canon makes great digital cameras but I think I'll look at other 
manufacturers for scanners.

Summary...

It works with VueScan but the additional cost will no longer make this 
is a cost effective scanner.
