CANON Lide
How can I get this scanner to work with my Linux laptop? I had it working with my wife's Windows computer but Canon stopped producing drivers for newer versions of the operating system so now I can do nothing. This is really annoying as it is an excellent scanner and there is no reason to junk it.
