The last driver made was for Windows 7 and I cant guarantee that it will work in the Windows 10 environment. You can attempt to install the drivers for an older version of Windows to see if it will work on your computer. I am reluctant to scrap what is otherwise a perfectly good scanner. Is there a shareware programme that might work? Or, is there some generic WIA or TWAIN software that could be used to get the scanner to work? I wonder if drivers for other Canon scanners would work with the 8000F? Does anyonhe know if this would work, and if so, which models might apply? I asked the Canon help desk this, but they wouldn't tell me. The same happens if I select the 'search automatically' option. The same with VueScan, both 32 and 64 bit versions.ĭevice manager is no help when I select 'update driver' and browse in the right folder, it puts up a message 'no drivers detected'. Win Fax and Scan doesn't work either, it puts up a message saying 'no scanner detected'. Having been forced to upgrade from Win XP when my old PC motherboard failed, also now need to use my CanonScan 8000F in Win 10.Ĭanon suggest that I use the drivers for Win 7 in compatibility mode, but this does not work.
