This is what really irks me about Apple and OSX. Things work fine until they don't at which point you need to pay a third party $40-90 so that your hardware will work again.
If I were sitting on some professional multi-thousand dollar hardware this might be acceptable, but I'm not pay that much for a cheap USB scanner I spent less than $100.

- cptskippy 11y agoThe problem isn't manufacturers discontinuing drivers, it's that Apple changes the requirements for a driver to operate with each release of it's OS making it necessary for driver manufacturers to produce new or updated drivers. For a company like HP or Canon with 10s of thousands of products in it's portfolio that's untenable, and with OSX only being a minuscule portion of their user base it becomes a huge waste of time and money.
