Latest Situation
I recently purchased a second CanoScan LIDE 300, thinking that the first one was bad. Much to my surprise I found out that both scanners do not interface with Apple Sequoia 15.5 and that a new "patch fix" needed to be made by Canon. They also could not tell me when that would happen??

Canon LIDE300 Scanner Review
I use this scanner for basic everyday scanning
of mostly text documents. I do scan images sometimes

Won’t synch with computer
Old scanner (9000) which I liked would not support new apple mac (sequoia OS). Had to buy new scanner (Canoscan life 300). Can’t get it to work with new computer (which was whole reason I. Ought it). Now worthless. Still not connected. Need help
This is a scam product. NOT 2400 DPI!
This is a scam product. It does NOT scan in 2400 dpi: Just 600 dpi. Tried both on mac and pc. These specifications are LIES!
Before they become obsolete.
Easy setup. Works as advertised.
Okay scanner
It is okay , but I wish it had an on/off button.
CanoScan LIDE 300 Scanner.
Simple, small and easy to use scanner. It works great and doesn't take up much room!
Perfect.
Planned Obsolescence
It's cheap and okay. Not as user friendly as previous scanner I had (LIDE200) but Canon stopped supporting it when I got new computer with updated Windows (11). They'll probably do the same with this in a few years.
