">Hamrick.com</a> for a long time, and am a happy camper. My old Canoscan 8600f works perfectly with this, but sometimes I want to use other programs for the scanner, like Paperless from Mariner Software to scan my receipts. It uses the native drivers, though, and the driver for Canon Canoscan 8600f has not been updated since Mac OS X 10.7.</p>
<p>I have tried to install different versions of the Canon drivers, but so far I had not had any luck. Today I found the solution, though: <a href="http://janegil.net/2014/01/twain-scanners-in-os-x-maverick/" title="The place to find a fix to Mac Twain scanners">Jan Egil's Twain fixer</a> It works out of the box, probably after installing the old scanner driver. Now, the scanner pops up, when I add it in System Preferences->Printers and Scanners, and it now works perfectly for scanning my stack of receipts! - Thanks Jan Egil!</p>
