It also turns out the original scanner was never broken lmao

Here’s the real maddening thing, this is the “broken” 15ish yr old scanner i thought I needed to replace ft a different new cable

A thrilling conclusion, USB C to USB C cable

brrrrrrr (wip)

brrrrrrr (wip)

(I got it closed with a can of spray lubricant, a step ladder and a bread knife wahooo)

Life flashing before my eyes as one of the studio windows jammed and stuck open (i’d craned my neck out to watch the drummers go down the road for women’s day)

the mystery! The drama!

I’ve ordered new cables (one of this scanner, one for the original,
assumed busted ancient Epson) and am holding off poking anything else until those arrive.

Oh no that’s really helpful (and about the only thing I haven’t tried!) i’ll have a hunt for a new cable. It‘s so frustrating that nothing just works anymore.

AAAND that's my lunchbreak and I'm out tonight so any further faffing with it will be later.

I know people with the same scanner running on the same model of iMac who've had none of this nonsense so idk where to go from here.

5. NAP2
6. Scanning direct to Clip Studio

fair to say we don't have a scanning software issue here (: I'd assume it was just a problem of it drawing power from the iMac if it weren't for the fact that the old, mains powered scanner (which briefly worked with this device) developed the same issue.

various.. things.

1. Scanner showing in my list of connected devices
2. This is attempting to use the Canon scanner software, device is connected
3. Image Capture, just stalls out on "scanning documents" scanner does not respond
4. VueScan, the locking switch on the scanner is unlocked

No.

none of em work! driving me mad

Vuescan does not recognise it either, I think I've currently got 6 different scanner apps installed

Ah no! Been through all of that with a previous Epson scanner that I gave away because I thought it was busted. I'm onto a Canon scanner now and it's got all the same problems.

Thank you though!

I've tried so many fixes, the only obvious one I haven't tried is "plug the USB in without using a USB hub" bc this new iMac doesn't have USB ports hahahaaaa

Scanner no.1 is an ancient mains powered Epson Perfection
Scanner no.2 was a new, USB powered Epson Perfection
Scanner no.3 is a new, USB powered Canon LiDE

1 would just drop connection more and more, and 2 and
3 have both been recognised as being there by the mac, but not when I go to scan

a uh plea if anyone has had any joy getting a 2024+ iMac to talk to a USB flatbed scanner

I'm on scanner no. 3 and the problem is clearly the computer now (not even sure if 15 yr old+ scanner no. 1 was broken to begin with) and we're still just not communicating (:

Oooh they’re goooood!

i love your warm colours so so much

tried drawing my skyrim character thjordan :'3

erase the "every else makes good comics that are worth talking about" vs "I make kinda boring, silly picture books" from ur mind.... ho hum.

it's been over a decade of making these things. does the fear/embarrasment of people reading them ever go away haha

idk what's been more intimidating lately. sending off a couple review emails for the first time or selling some copies (by request/INISISTENCE, v sweet) of my latest book to very non comics people at choir
