CanoScan LiDE 210 not working with Apple macOS Sonoma

[Ditreni]

I purchased a new Apple Mac Book Pro a year ago. I have a LIDE 210 that works with my older MBP but not the newer computer. Canon site states: “CanoScan LiDE 210 has been retired. Product support is no longer available. Driver and content updates are not being made.”  Sometimes, there are workarounds in these situations. Any suggestions?  -Ditreni

It's a paid for workaround, but VueScan software by Hamrick Software can allow old scanners to work with new operating systems.

I use it with a Minolta film scanner on my W10 and macOS14 computers. The last version of the factory driver was for Windows XP.
