Good scanner that will run on Macs?

[freaky]

Does anyone know of a good scanner around $100 that will work on OS X?

VueScan will make a lot of scanners Mac compatible.

I just bought a second hand Lexmark X73 for 60 CHF (equiv to $50). I had to disable the monitor software that was buggy, but for the rest it is ok.

Not supported by VueScan, but not needed indeed.

I second the recommendation for VueScan. After a few years, the manufacturer of your scanner will probably abandon you software-wise. I have an old Canon scanner that's at least 5 years old, the Canon software doesn't work, but VueScan recognized it right away. The standard version is $50, but I payed the extra $30 for the professional version which has, among other things, free unlimited upgrades. It payed for itself by enabling me to continue to use my old scanner.
That being said, I guess I've had good luck with the Canon scanner, but I found that there was much better Mac support with my Epson printer.

Unfortunately, my Canon D1250U2F scanner is not listed as being supported with VueScan.

It may still work, you can download VueScan and try it for free..

I tried it but unfortunately it didn't recognize it when it was plugged in.

My Epson Perfection 3490 Photo works even better in OS X than it did in Windows. $99.99 MSRP

I have used two different Canon LiDE scanners, and have been quite pleased with the results. They get my vote.
