How To Find New Print And Scanner Tools In OS X
Our household has multiple Macs, multiple printers, a bunch of attached hard disk drives, and a couple of scanners, all nicely networked, functioning properly.
Until Mac OS X Snow Leopard, all worked just fine. Together. After Snow Leopard, not so much. That’s often the case with any new version of Mac OS X. New features and capability are added, some things that worked now don’t. Or, didn’t. This time Apple was ready with new printer drivers and new features to go with the new kitty.

You are a GENIUS!!!! I upgraded to Snow Leopard and my Canon MP-780 Multi-function would not scan. Nothing worked and Apple says the scanning function is not yet supported.
I did as you suggested and and used Image Capture and, except for the computer thinking I have a MP 790 (???), it worked great! In fact, it takes a better scan than the from the scanner command. I got to thinking and went into System Preferences and selected Print and Fax. I can scan from there as well.
Thank you so much. I can now scan away and not worry about when Canon is going to get my scan driver supported.
