I'm going to retry this again tomorrow when I'm not so tired... I have a Cannon 1240U I bought this way back in 2001 and I also have a Cannon S820 printer too! I got all the OS 10 down loads off Cannon's website and the printer works just fine but the scanner still boots up classic I guess to run Photo Shop??? I'm wondering if I can find a down load for Photo Shop to run in OS 10 (at least for Jaguar on my clamshell) ??? I will check that out too tomorrow... CoolKat
