And my truth telling powers tell me that Canon's scanner driver sucks. It's that stupid "button manager" that looks for the scanner every second or so ans spams the console if it's not connected. Canon knows about the problem for half a decade know and refuses to fix it.
The solution is to remove the button manager from your system. Nobody uses those silly buttons on the scanner anyway.

yeah, i didnt think about the scanner, (in fact the buttons on the front of the scanner are the only thing that works the scanner, the app that came with it is in spanish or something, and it refuses to load an english version for me....time to try cannons website i think)
i will try to remove the button manager...(is that easy to get to?)
meanwhile i will try bablefish to try and understand the app ive got at the moment...
Solution: dont buy cheap scanners

You will first have to kill the button manager process in Activity Monitor (it won't let you delete it while it's running) and then find the button manager thing and put it into the trash. I think it's in <harddisk>/Library/CFMSupport/ or somewhere else in the /Library folder.

We do at work, at least twenty times a day.

Good. Then by all means keep the button manager. If you use the scanner all day then that might not be an issue. But if you only scan something 2 or 3 times a year and that shitty button manager spams the console the rest of the time while the scanner is not connected and creates gigabytes of log files then you think differently about those buttons.
