Hamrick Software’s VueScan is the world’s most widely used scanning software with an excellent t reputation built across 20-years. The issue is that macOS Catalina requires that software be 64-bit and include additional code-signing, and lots of older scanners lack this. If you’ve just upgraded to macOS Catalina only to find your scanner no longer works because it relies on 32-bit drivers and – despite plenty of warning – the manufacturers have failed to ship 64-bit replacements, then help is at hand: Here is how to use your older scanners with macOS Catalina There are a number of ways to do it for older high-end scanners and printers. (Canon says there are no drivers but that's simply not true). I still use a Canon 9950F scanner with both Windows and Mac. After a reboot, the System volume returns to read only. I say "as root" because you will want to be editing those System plist files as root, anyway. Turn off SIP, and, as root, make the volume writable (mount -uw /). I have found you can edit files in the System volume. Backup software is having to make the biggest adjustments with Catalina, due to Catalina creating a separate read-only System volume, in addition to the user volume. That and their emphasis on moving everything to the "cloud", even with stand alone products. Adobe is firmly into the paid upgrade, which is why I no longer use any Adobe product. Others create a new version line that require a paid upgrade fee. Some vendors simply incorporate the features into their current version with a point upgrade. New features in the OS require adjustments. This happens with every new version of macOS. Looks like my older Lightroom 4 will be dead and my older Office will not work.
