Without Watermark In VueScan Software
Well I too HAD this problem. Upgraded to Win7 64 bit and was unable to install the existing 32 bit drivers (of course) that operate in WinXP and Vista. Called Kodak and there wonderful answer was Buy a New Scanner. Well this was just not an option.
So in order to get rid of the watermark, either you will have to buy it, or use a cracked version of vuescan. Since you are worrying too much about the watermark, I know you are not going to buy it. So let’s continue with the second method, using cracked version. Out there, you don't need to buy scanning software to scan on a Mac. Popular packages such as VueScan leave a watermark unless you.
SO I searched and searched for alternatives, to creating a WinXP Virtual machine with VMPlayer or VirtualBox to remote controlling an older WinXP laptop connected to the scanner. None were solutions I felt I could live with. Then I found VueScan at www.hamrick.com.
A small chea scanning software that you can try before you buy. I read through everything on the site including the specific scanner notes for the Kodak I65, then downloaded the trial version. Once installed you follow the instructions from the site to use VueScans own driver to run the Kodak scanner and lo and behold I got my ORIGINAL Kodak scanner menu to work on Win7 64bit. Then I used the VueScan software to scan a document and it worked like a charm. Albeit with the VueScan watermark. Now I could have stopped there and called it a success, but I then, tried scanning with my Nitro PDF Pro software and was amazed to get a Perfect scan without the watermark. Now NOTE, I did not buy the VueScan software at this time, as I don't need it's ability.
I just used their driver and driver installation instructions from the website specifically for the Kodak I65. Most likely going to buy the basic version of the software anyway, as I think the guy deserves something for saving my EXPENSIVE I65 from becoming a paperweight.

A quick scan of the Mustek website shows that their Mac drivers have not been updated for the 1200 series since 1999. Usp expert serial number. Your best bet is to download a trail copy of Vuescan from Hamrick Software at You'll see a list of the scanners it supports and there are several musteks with 1200 in the title. If it works (and it generally does) then you will have to buy it as the trial puts a watermark on to the scan (and there's no way you can photshop it out).
I have no connection with Hamrick but have lots of clients using it on a variety of scanners. Jan 22, 2011 .
