    scanner lide 30 cannon - driver win 7

    My driver for this scanner is supported until windows xp.... In win 7 it simply not going to be installed... And the scanner without the driver is useless for this pc(right..?). I searched the site and emailed them (did not get an answer back (!!!)).

    Now what? :/ :/

    It’s 2014 and I still use printf() for debugging.

    It looks like your scanner is discontinued.
    You could buy a new scanner, or if this is your home computer upgrade your OS to one that still supports it.

    The link needs an emergency CSS improvement :P

    So you mean to downgrade again in windows XP for example? Or to change the OS for a scanner? That is totally not ok with me.
    It is not logical that they won't provide a solution for this issue!

    Quite logical, actually, from a greedy financial point of view.

    I'd wager that a Linux distro would recognise it.

    If you really wanted to, you could find the open source Linux driver for your scanner, and hack it about a bit to produce a Win7 driver you could install.

    Or has win7 crawled sufficiently up it's own arse that it's no longer possible to install a driver that hasn't been blessed (signed) by M$ themselves?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Try installing drivers in compatibility mode.
    Or virtual machine with usb "passthrough".
    Or the following found in search: Canon LIDE 30

    No it didn't... It has the mark of the company all over the image... When I try to output a pdf, it will scan only 10% of what I am trying to scan... Thanks for the try though!

    Take a look.. scanner lide 30 cannon - driver win 7-test-jpg

    Take a look..

    The same article mentions you can create a boot cd with ubuntu 10.10 to access it. i.e. you don't need to install.

    Should be fairly straightforward, and a boot disc can be handy to have.

    No damn way... There are 3 computers (or 4) at my place that run on XP right now, so for now, I can operate on the other machines, but not in my pc... So they are often operated by their owners and (.. you get the point).

    I do not have linux on my pc gemera. So I can not do what you are telling I guess...

    These are solutions; they are trivial. (Well, one solution Salem offered isn't trivial, but he is a silly, silly man.)

    [Edit]
    Or woman. Or dog. Or robot from the future bent on destroying mankind. Whatever. I don't judge.
    [/Edit]

    If you don't want to deal with them that's fine, but I think it is shameful, considering your history here, that you are clearly not taking the few minutes it would take to look into the solutions you've been offered.
