It seems that I have to replace my scanner every few OS upgrades.
My question is why do the upgrades make the scanner a paperweight.
So either don't upgrade or buy a b\new scanner. I look more
carefully at reports on people who have upgraded. but when I
purchase a new computer it has a different (newer) OS running. I
understand there are ways around the issue. Just curious as to
why, thanks.
I'm sorry, what?? If your scanner stops working after an OS upgrade,
your scanner vendor needs to upgrade the driver; buying a new
scanner is pretty seriously over-reacting.
If your scanner vendor doesn't get updates out (and 10.6 broke a lot
of stuff) use better scanner software, like Vuescan.

Yea, what Bruce said.
Over the years, we've had a few scanners. The best was a large
SCSI-based Mustek, that worked from the System 7 thru the OS 9.2.2
days. Now we have USB scaners, HP and Canon. They work on Puma,
Panther, Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. And that's before having
to switch to Vuescan!
