![]() ![]() If you want to use that ancient CanoScan 8800F with High Sierra, you have a couple of options in descending functionality: Since Canon has newer scanners on the market, they have moved on. So, based on that, it has nothing to do with 32-bit/64-bit, and everything to do with no drivers provided by Canon for High Sierra. There was a driver update (13.9.2a) last summer () that intended support through 10.10. Meanwhile if anyone knows of a solution to my scanner issue I’d be happy to hear about it.Ĭanon stopped supporting the CanoScan 8800F after macOS Yosemite (10.10), as that is the highest version of macOS that they offer documented driver support. I think if Cannon charged a one time upgrade fee of $25 that it would cover the cost of writing new drivers. I think a little help in upgrading to the new standard from various vendors would be appreciated. I’m having to pay for software updates for some of my apps as well. Having just shelled out $3,500 for a new current 27” iMac I don’t feel like buying a new scanner. I’m not sure Apple is fully aware of the bad feelings that this causes when people are treated like this, this casual indifference and commercial expediency. Some vendors are refusing to update software, including drivers for older devices like scanners.Ĭanon has abandoned my Canoscan 8800F scanner as well as many others. Two things are apparent from what has happened, or not happened with this issue.Īpple have been working toward the full implementation of a 64 bit only OS for some time, this has became a prominent issue with the release of the last OS to support 32 bit functionality, High Sierra.Ī lot of software that ran under 32 bit is warning of the need to update software to 64 bit. ![]()
