CanoScan LiDE 200
CanoScan LiDE 200 is a flatbed document and photo scanner made by Canon. The LiDE 200 is a compact USB-powered scanner capable of digitizing documents, photographs, and other reflective media at high resolution. It was released in the early 2010s and became a popular choice for home offices and small businesses due to its affordable price and reliable optical quality. Canon ceased active development of drivers for this model several years ago, leaving many users with outdated or unsupported software on modern macOS releases.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCanon has not shipped updated drivers for the CanoScan LiDE 200 in many years, and there is no native Apple Silicon build of the official Canon scanner software — it will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). However, you do not need to replace your scanner. VueScan, a third-party scanning application from Hamrick Software, has reverse-engineered the LiDE 200 driver and included it in their software. VueScan is actively maintained, runs natively on Apple Silicon, and works seamlessly with the LiDE 200 on modern macOS. It offers additional features beyond Canon's original software, including automatic document detection, batch scanning, advanced image adjustment, and support for film and slide digitisation. VueScan is available as a one-time purchase with both a free trial and a Pro version. Simply download VueScan, connect your LiDE 200, and the scanner will work without needing any Canon-supplied drivers at all.
