[Ti] Ok so besides the LIDE 30 what other scanners work?

[Robert Nicholson]

If the plugins were in the wrong folders then the error message should 
indicate so.

The error I got simply was not very encouraging given that Vuescan 
worked with the printer
first time.

If the plugsin are in the wrong folders then I'd expect to get an error 
telling me so or at least
hinting at the possibility. The fact that I get an error that suggests 
a hardware problem for
one that is actually because of software is really why I chose to 
return that scanner.

The experience reminded me of the Nikon Coolpix 900 device drivers for 
Windows way
back when. Nikon had a reputation at the time of

1. Not supporting their products well in the States.

2. Having really really bad software support.

This whole Canonscan experience was very similar and something that is 
competely unsatisfactory when I own a Mac.

I will not hesitate to buy a Canon digital camera but I'm staying away 
from any Canon scanner.
