I have now had 3 (supposedly) top of the range all-in ones and each one has given me a different headache but mostly on the scanning side. These have been in turn HP, Epson and Canon so everybody looks guilty as charged...
I'll save you the details but it's always the scanner that gives problems: it's typically not seen/not connected, or worse: the scanner doesn't support Twain.
Anyway, my question is about drivers: in most cases when you install the new printer you have the choice between a bloated in-house driver (often 60+ Megs) or a Bonjour/Apple vetted driver that feels like minimum service on a transport strike day. In the case of the current Canon neither works (MX925). So what should one do? Is there a 'roadmap' for trying different drivers. If you go to the Canon page and restrict your search to OS10.9 compatible aps, you still get 2 full pages of downloads, none of which seems to be doing the job.
OK, I know it's a bit of a rant but I'm utterly confused. Why oh why did Apple stop manufacturing printers! Any thoughts?
Thanks
