CanoScan Toolbox		Dec 27 2007

CNYMIKE   I've installed the CanoScan Toolbox 5.0 for my Intel iMac but when I go into settings, the scanner doesn't show in the dropdown because it can't see a driver. I have the driver but do not know where to install it so that CanoScan Toolbox 5.0 can see it. Putting it in the same folder as the CanoScan Toolbox 5.0 does nothing. Neither does putting it in /library/application support/canon/ScanGear/plugins

I did not have this problem with CanoScan Toolbox 4.1, which had a plugins subdirectory in which I placed the Lide30 driver. But CanoScan Toolbox 5.0 had not such subdirectory and when I made one and put the driver in it, it still was not recognized so obviously the driver is not in the correct location./

Help...where does the driver go so that CanoScan Toolbox 5.0 can recognize the Lide 30 scanner?

CanoScan Toolbox		Dec 15 2008

DMULLINS  Hey MIKE, I've been scouring the web all morning trying to get my old CanoScan LiDE 50 scanner to work again, and I think I've found a Universal solution at-last, and I think it's a lot simpler than anyone might have imagined. What I've found is that it's a simple naming error in the software/driver installers.

Visit my blog to view my post about how to fix the issue!

Stop by and see if it corrects the problem for you as well, and if the solution worked for you please leave a comment and let me know.

Thanks!
