Default canoscan: N1220U and 10.4

I have my excellent N1220U canon scanner - works with 10.4 on my G4 MDD.

I can get it to work on my MacBook Pro running 10.4.11.

I have tried installing and uninstalling the driver.

Can anyone help?

(I have searched the forums and have not seen a post relating to this - I think)

It appears Canon have not upgraded their Mac drivers for some years for this model, so I'd assume Rosetta PPC emulation on the Macbook + old software = will not work. As a last resort you could try running it under a Parallels/Windows XP environment.

You could try VueScan, which supports even quite ancient scanners, but it's not a free program. The N1220U is from 2001 or so, so that it doesn't work isn't much of a surprise!
