Re: Oh, RATS!!! Yos 4 upsets TWAIN again

<r>I wish!I went back to the Canon website, downloaded the drivers (printer, scanner, TWAIN) for the MG5150/Yosemite, and re-installed them.All is exactly as before, with the two minute wait.When I choose Select TWAIN Scanner (Data Source) I am only offered Canon MG5100 Series - no other printer is ...

Re: Oh, RATS!!! Yos 4 upsets TWAIN again

<r>For what it’s worth, I have now found out that if I run ExactScan (downloaded on a trial basis) and use it to scan “using the native scanner”, ScanGear opens instantly and will let me Preview. True, it will not let me Scan - the scanner murmurs and then locks. I suspect that ExactScan does not pa...

Re: Oh, RATS!!! Yos 4 upsets TWAIN again

<r>It may depend on the Mac - mine is a mid 2007 iMac, the oldest that can use Yosemite.But I have researched this pretty intensively with Yosemite 2 and don’t propose to spend any significant time on it now it has returned with Yos 4.Apart from installing the latest Canon software (drivers and appl...

Re: Oh, RATS!!! Yos 4 upsets TWAIN again

<r>Yes, they were updated for Yosemite last autumn and I have had them installed from the outset.

Re: Oh, RATS!!! Yos 4 upsets TWAIN again

<r>I consulted Canon during the Yos 2 research into the problem, and they state categorically that they use TWAIN and nothing else to interface their MP Navigator EX software with my printer.Providing I leave Image Capture Extension running, I can use Image Capture with the scanner, but the images a...

Re: Scan

<r>I hate to contradict, but TWAIN does work on the new Mac OS (!at least on my seven-year old iMac)!Not willingly, nor without problems, but it does work - as long as the scanner has the right drivers.I have a Canon MG5150 on which TWAIN worked without problems upto and including Mavericks. When I ...

Re: Trouble with TWAIN

<r>Image Capture works perfectly, but gives me less control and the results are not quite as good  (or so it seems to me).I can call ScanGear (the Canon interface to the driver) direct from Canon software, but it it then tedious to get the image into GC.I could go either way (or find out how to edit...

Re: Automatic Orientation and Printer Presets

<r>Yes, I agree. I will keep an eye on the driver download page, in case an update appears.

Re: Browser viewing bug?

<t>It works as expected for me - the only time the left arrow does not take me to the previous image is when the first image in the folder is selected - then it takes me to the last image.
