I am running an iMac with a 3.33GHz Core 2 duo processor, 8 gig memory
and a CanonLide 200 scanner.  All software is up to date from Apple and
Canon.

I'm having terrible problems with the scanner not working or working
intermittently.

Very often in attempting to scan using preview or Image Capture I'm told
that there is no scanner connected, even when the scanner is shown in
System Preferences.
I did manage to get the scanner working via Photoshop Elements for a
while, but that has stopped now.  Elements tells me there is no scanner
present.  

After a previous appeal for help on this NG I downloaded VueScan only to
be told by VueScan there was no scanner connected, even though Prefs
showed that there was.

I have in the past few months done the following:

1  Updated all software both Canon and Apple.

2  Removed all traces of Canon software from the system and rebooted and
updated Canon drivers yet again.

3  Changed the UBS lead twice

4  Appealed for help from Canon and changed all software yet again.

5  Downloaded VueScan.

The result of all of the above was either the scanner wouldn't work or
works intermittently.

I do have Windows 7 installed on a boot partition run by BootCamp.  The
scanner works perfectly under W7 even to the point of working Canon's
proprietary interface which never did work on the Mac.

Unfortunately I need the scanner to work under OS as I only have the Mac
version of Elements installed and the Mac version of Family History.

I am inclined to ditch the Canon and buy an Epson 370 scanner, but I am
worried that the same thing might happen with the Epson as has happened
with the Canon, i.e intermittent operation.

Can anyone throw any further light or advise me on this.
Thanks,

Peter
