Yes
I have a canon 3000f flatbed scanner, I'm trying to reinstall it on xp pro but for some reason photoshop CS5 just cant see it, it installs the twain drivers fine with CS4 but nothing doing with cs5 any ideas how I can do it manually or get cs5 to see the scanner???
Thanks Wayne
 
Run the driver update program and if youve set windows update to update your hardware that might find an updated driver.
 
Yes I have installed the latest drivers, the scanners working fine, it's just not linking to photoshop, it doesn't even show up greyed out in the import list.
 
I think that I might have found the problem considering your last comment:

Other changes

* Tool presets are no longer backward compatible.
* TWAIN - The TWAIN scanner plug-in is no longer installed with Photoshop CS5, but is available via web download. Supported when running Photoshop CS5 on 32-bit Windows or 32-bit Mac OS. Also supported as a 64-bit application on 64-bit Mac OS with scanners that support 64-bit scanner drivers. The TWAIN scanner plug-in is also supported if you run Photoshop CS5 as a 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows or 64-bit Mac OS. For more information, see TWAIN Plug-In | Photoshop CS4, CS5 (kb405072).
* Legacy droplets not supported in Mac 10.5, 64 bit. Rosetta required to run droplets.

It seems as though TWAIN's aren't supported in CS5 at all, unless you download the plugin!

Many thanks DemLion, you have solved it!

All it needed was the twain 88bf from the download link you supplied dropping in the plug-in import folder, I can't help wondering why the powers that be at Adobe decided to leave it out.
Scanner now talking to photoshop, thank you mate, if your even in my neck of the woods I'll buy you a pint. :)
