Hi
The CX4200's printer will work without a driver, though it's a good
idea to install Epson's updated version. The scanner portion of this
device does need to have Epson's driver installed. The canoscan Lide
series all need to have their drivers installed.

Hi folks,
Thanks for your help so far, but can I just put the USB cord into
the Mac book, and it will work for either the Cannon Scanner or
Epson printer, or do I need to install drivers?
Just curious
Thanks
James

Also, most Epson products are Mac compatible. I have an Epson
Stylus CX4200 here (that's a printer/scanner/copier all-in-one
device) and it works great with my Mac.
P.S. Scott, do you mean the Canoscan Lide series? If so, I've
bugged Canon about the driver/VO issue, as I'm having it as well,
though on my iBook it is actually quite slow and a little more
than annoying. I just reinstalled my OS, which fixed a lot of odd
quirks and issues I'd been having, so I should try the driver
again and see if it dealt with that as well.

Canon Led 60 and several of the newer HP scanners. I personally
use the Canon Canoscan Led 60 and it works fine. The twain
driver is a little slow when working with VO, but I've not had
the time to really bug Canon about this, but I did inform
customer support of the problem. Its not really bad, but just
annoying. I tend to use the item chooser feature of VO which
helps with this a lot.

Hi folks,
I am living in the UK, can anyone on the list please give me a
list of compatable printers, OCR and scaners that are
compatable with Mac OSX 10.4.7 Tiger, and which also are usable
with VO please?
Thanks and Best Wishes
