Image capture not recognizing scanner I have a new scanner, a Brother DS 620. Brother admits that they are working on software to support Catalina 10.15.3, which is what I'm running on a Mac Pro. However, as an interim fix, they are instructing customers to use Image Capture. My Image Capture does not list the device. Is there a patch available to rectify this?

Canon LIDE 110 scanner not working on clean install of Big Sur, works on Upgraded Catalina to Big Sur In my home we have a M1 MBP, and initially attempted to use the Canon scanner with the new computer, no go. The scanner doesn't show up in system preferences, Preview, Image Capture. Canons drivers for Big Sur are for the LIDE 120, we tried those, they didn't work. I thought maybe it's the M1? Went to my MBA 2018 with (2 partitions, one was a clean install of Big Sur and one was upgraded from Catalina). I was on the clean install partition and same issue as the M1 MBP. I rebooted to the Catalina-Big Sur install and the scanner worked, like I remember it working. Mind you the System Information for the USB port shows the scanner on all installs/computers. I attempted to try and isolate the driver from the Catalina-Big Sur partition and send it over to the other Big Sur installs but nothing happens. I attempted the latest copy of VueScan 9.7.62 and that worked immediately. Options here: Keep booting into Catalina-Big Sur partition when we need to scan. Spend $40 on VueScan Apple provides a solution. (Preferred) Someone else helps us figure it out off my findings. Extra note I had a 2019 iMac also Catalina-Big Sur and that worked as well. So there's some driver support that is dropped from the clean install of Big Sur. Currently on 11.4 now on all computers.

I have updated to latest Canon drivers and software, which is listed on their support page as the version for OS 11, but it does not work. The same error messages appear, indicating the scanner is not connected. So far, no solution offered here or on Canon communities. It seems OS11 only prints via AirPrint to these printers, and scanning is not supported. I’m hesitant to buy another Canon multifunction printer because they all seem to use the same scanner drivers. I can scan most single page documents with my iPhone, but I need the sheet feeder scanner. Do HP devices scan to OS 11?
