I bought a Canon MX870 all-in-one a few months ago on Randy Singer's recommendation & have been very pleased with it. My scanning use is light (mostly financial statements used in an accounting office), but it is simple to operate & the results are good. I found it on sale at Staples for about $100.

My wedding album literally fell apart when my wife was looking at it, planning for the big five-o this fall. Black & white 8x10 prints dry mounted back to back - glue from the album on several at the binding edge, which means find an album and stick them in it won't work. Have to get them into Photoshop fast.
I have had the Canon MX870 for about 6 months. Never considered the MX870, or any AIO, to be good enough for photos. Used the MX870 as a copier a few times but never used the scanner until last week. Scanned 8x10 black & white prints at 1200 dpi with the Canon scanner driver to TIFF files. In Photoshop Lightroom the limiting factor seems to be grain in the 4x5 negatives used to make the prints.
Tried 2400 dpi but the scan fails when processing the completed scan. With a small picture 2400 works, with a postage size picture 4800 works. Maybe the TIFF file size is too big for the driver at high resolution.

8" X 10" X 2400 DPI * 2400 DPI = 460,800,000 pixels. Times 8 bits per pixel for grey-scale.

"Maybe the TIFF file size is too big for the driver at high resolution."
Yes.
Or at least too large for *something*
Few programs can work well with multi-hundred-megabyte files.

Well, yes, but scanning a *print* at anything above a few hundred dpi is
pointless anyway.

Howdy.
Doug, would you do a screen capture of your Address Book window and
send to me directly?
Please do an About the Address Book command and tell me the exact
version.
Something wrong with your Address Book (to state the obvious I'd
guess).
Have you considered deleting the .plist preference file for it?

i think i found a work around, or maybe just the proper way of deleting entries in the Lion's address book.
there are the negative signs in red and white. click on those. manually (?) highlight the names, then delete them.
then where the names had been under All Contacts, the name/entry disappears/ it says something like No Entry in blue.
then that disappears.
success!
thanks for all help. it was such a simple fix. and i just didn't see it. i loves me apple.
long before it was the top of the heap.

Re: I need a new flatbed scanner...

I had to buy a new flatbed scanner when I returned to the Mac fold as
I couldn't get drivers for Mac OS X for my old scanner. I bought a
Canon LIDE 700F - it's about 95 Euro.
It is powered entirely by the USB connection and needs no mains or
power brick. It has a gizmo for scanning negative or positive 35mm
film at up to 4800dpi which works surprisingly well. The software
enables you to scan in idiot mode or via the scanner driver with all
its bells and whistles. I think it's good value for money.
regards,
Ian

Hi Jim,
No, because I didn't know about it - I had a touch of the red mist and
dumped the old scanner in the garbage bin.
Moral - ask Mac Support Central first - there's bound to be someone who knows!

Re: printer question

OK, so I cleaned the print heads and it printed out a perfect test
sheet. All the black text was black and it printed 6 solid colored
rectangles. Sooo, I thought, "Good, it's fixed." Then I printed out a
page with just a small amt of black text. It came out partly black
and partly green. When the printer is on, the 4 icons for the ink all
blink, which I think mean it's out of ink. And when I clicked "print"
I got a message that I was low on ink.
I didn't do the replacement of magenta or removing cartridges since
the print head cleaning gave a perfect sheet. Should I go ahead and
do that, anyway?

It could be the print head. Try replace the magenta with an OEM
cartridge and see what happens. I doubt you'll solve the problem
through software; although you could try removing all the cartridges
and powering the printer down (unplug completely). Leave it off for a
few minutes Then power it up and reinstall the cartridges. It
probably won't change anything, but you never know. Did you try
cleaning the heads?
Some printers - maybe all of them - mix colors to get black when your
printing in color. Do you have a choice in your print dialog to print
in black or gray scale, in addition to a color option? Choosing
black, if it's an option, may give you the output you're looking for;
but, of course, it won't solve the magenta problem.

Try it, it can't hurt; but with all the lights blinking, it appears you're running close to empty on ink. That is a little strange, since you said that you had just replaced all of the cartridges. For the price of new cartridges, you could almost replace the printer.

Scanner Resolution question
Posted by: "George Barker" lynxster@ihug.com.au four46
Fri Feb 10, 2012 10:31 pm (PST)
I thought I had a fair to middling handle on this stuff, but I'm
puzzled by the following Canon offerings on their scanners.
CanoScan LiDE 700F (Mid Level)
High quality scanning up to 9600 X 9600 dpi high resolution and
48-bit superior gradation
CanoScan 5600F (High Range)
High quality scanning up to 4800 x 9600 dpi high resolution and
48-bit superior gradation
Can someone tell me the difference between 9600 X 9600 dpi and 4800 x
9600 dpi; and why the 9600 X 9600 dpi resolution (which I'm assuming
is the superior quality?) is on the Mid Level scanner and not the
High Level.
thanks
George
