If I were to purchase a Canon Scanner and use VueScan, do I still need to load the Canon software or is the scanner automatically recognized merely by launching VueScan without the need to install any Canon Drivers?

I would prefer to not have to load any scanner drivers as they have always slowed down my machines and been buggy in the past.

Thanks,

VueScan should not require any customer supplied drivers. It works really well and I have used it with an older SCSI scanner with great results.

Why would anyone not just use a twain and scan directly into Photoshop or Graphic Converter as I do? sam

A lot of us use VueScan because our scanners, while still very well made & excellent scanners, are old and don't always have the current drivers for the current OS. Epson, Canon & HP would rather us make a purchase and but a new scanner than continue to use a 4 year old scanner that's not being updated anymore..

That's also the same reason why people use Gimp drivers for older printers...
