1. if someone is asking you to pay it is most likely not the official Canon support site.

2. If you have an old Canon scanner that will not be supported by Canon look into VueScan software.

i did download and install it and I still get an error saying the developer of this app needs to update to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information.

I then click learn more and it says when you attempt to open a 32 bit app you will be alerted to update . It says to contact the developer for more information.

Thanks for alll your help. Do you think I need a new scanner

I have no relationship with VueScan other than as a happy customer. This is just my interpretation from reading the website. The Standard is good for one year. Professional is lifetime. Both say they offer free trial. I don’t know what that actually involves.
