Canon CanoScan N670U

[GB]

I would like to try to install this on my Windows 10 PC. Canon says they
don't have drivers for anything later than Vista. W10, detects and
installs the device, but to scan I need a WIA driver.

I take it that that is it? Give it away to someone with an old machine,
or is there some way around it?

Try VueScan. It includes its own drivers, and supports a wide variety of
scanners. It claims to support that Canon.

It costs a few quid, but I think its worth it. It is a much nicer
interface than most scanning software. There is a free trial.

Thanks. I'm giving it a go.

+1

I couldn't find Win7-64 drivers for my ancient (probably pushing 20 year
old) Canon FB630U scanner which worked with the Windows XP 32-bit
drivers (!) under Win7-32, but VueScan works a treat.

You could always install a Linux VM and use a standard package with TWAIN
drivers. Or a copy of XP.

I had a VM of XP around for a long time because that was the latest
version which supported the software which came with my scanner.

Now bought a new(er) scanner which works on W7/8.1.
I don't like the software as much, though.

Another +1 for VueScan.

Set a keen photographer friend up with an old but very good SCSI scanner
and needed VueScan to drive it.

Pretty damn good software.

I'm just too cheap to buy much software (which given the cost is an
illogical approach).
