Hopefully does the job
Purchased two weeks ago, haven't used it yet. Appreciate flat design doesn't take up space.

Not compatible with my new laptop
Unfortunately the Lide 300 is not compatible with my new laptop which is a Samsung Galaxy book 4 Edge Snapdragon X 256 GB UFS. I telephoned Canon and they confirmed the laptop's processor is not compatible. Luckily, I had not used the Lide 300 and Argos was able to refund.

Mac Compatability - Not an Issue
Purchased this scanner to work with a MacBook Pro, using the latest operating system. Was a little apprehensive about buying, due to previous reviews about Mac compatability. Didn't touch any of the supplied information/CD, but plugged in and use Image Capture from the Mac Operating system. Worked perfectly - zero problems whatsoever. So, if you are a Mac User, have no concerns "Image Capture" will be your best friend!

Great scanner
Managed to scan all of my parent’s photo albums (67 of them!) and it’s done a good job! My only gripe is that for such a large space, it can only scan 2 photos (but it can fit 4) to allow auto cropping to be achieved efficiently. Bit of a shame which added time to the whole process but nevertheless, it’s done the job.

Another Great Canon Scanner
Replaced a Canon CanoScan that was about 20 years old that finally gave up the ghost. This one works just as well and the quality of the scans are good. Works well with a Mac (although I didn't try the Canon software I used my own). Quieter and faster than my last one.

Hello Sheila,

Hello there.
The supplier has advised the following for the Canon CanoScan LiDE 300 Flatbed Scanner.
The Canon CanoScan LiDE 300 Flatbed Scanner cannot be directly connected to the Samsung Galaxy S9. The scanner requires a PC or laptop running the Canon software to function and manage the scanned images. The scanner is powered via USB and must be connected to a computer or laptop to scan and store images. Therefore, it is not compatible with devices like the Samsung Galaxy S9 that do not have a USB port.

As this is a digital scanner, it does not print from the machine itself and so does not use ink.

Hey Rob,
I can advise that the Canon CanoScan LiDE 300 cannot save scanned photos directly to a "photo stick" (USB flash drive) without a connected computer. The scanner is powered via USB and requires a PC or laptop running the Canon software to function and manage the scanned images.
Thanks for using Q&A.
