Hi tbrewton,

The CanoScan 8400F is not compatible with the Mac OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks) operating system; for a listing of our current model scanners that are compatible with the Mac OS X Mavericks operating system, please click on the links below:

This is not true.  I've been using my 8400F with Mavericks since it was released.  However, mine was an upgrade from 10.8, so whatever drivers Canon installed when I bought the scanner several years ago continues to work.  And my new Mac Pro that I used Migration Assistant with also works with the scanner.  However, the other Mac Pro that was a clean install can't see the scanner and Canon's site claims there are no drivers.

I have Windows XP and am considering buying a Mac.  The Apple Store rep said I need something compatible with 10.9 Mavericks.  I love  my 8400F and don't want a new one.  Your review gave me hope, but since I am not upgrading from 10.8, do you think my 8400F will not work? 

I have not decided what Mac to buy -- MacBook Pro, iMac or Mac Mini.

Thanks.
