Leopard compatibility issues

October 28th, 2007

So far, Leopard seems to work with just about everything I had installed on my computers, with two notable exceptions:

Parallels is a bit flaky in Leopard. Specifically, the networking just doesn’t seem to function properly, at least via WiFi. After browsing the Parallels forums, I’m told an update is forthcoming.

Canon’s drivers for their CanoScan LIDE 35 also appear to fail when I try to scan via Image Capture.

Hoping for some updates soon. Those who have critical software or hardware that is not yet confirmed compatible may wish to hold off on upgrading until new versions are ready. I can’t.

    I am having the same problem and have been exchanging email with Canon’s support group. They first had me install a new Twain SDK which they said would make the scanner work under Leopard. They then had me remove the scanner from the USB hub and connect directly which also did not work. They just sent me a message saying the scanner must be defective (worked fine under Tiger!) and that I could buy a new one from them at a reduced cost under a customer loyalty program. Hope you have better luck.
