Please update a workable driver for CanoScan LIDE 20. I’ve been searching for a driver that works on windows 7 x64bit for a long time to no avail!

Thank you in advance

Is there a similar driver to the CanoScan LiDE 50 x64 Driver for the Canoscan N670U scanner?

Many thanks

After installing Windows 8, I couldn’t get the LIDE50 to work and the machine was just about going to landfill when I got to here.

Worked perfectly for me.

1. Follow AgntLgn instruction on option 7 restart
2. Use older version CanoScan toolbox per Bob Hitt

Then Voila!!!!

For everyone that has tried to use the DNA driver to get their LiDE 50 scanner working again, only to get the “Unable to select TWAIN source”, error in the CanoScan Toolbox, I have a solution.

Follow AgntLgn’s advice above to install the driver. You will need to turn driver signing off for the driver to install as he has suggested.

Make sure that once you’ve installed the driver and plugged in your scanner, you are able to see the LiDE 50 scanner in the Device Manager under Imaging Devices.

Then, rather than trying to use the CanoScan Toolbox to use the scanner, go to http://www.irfanview.com/ and download the program InfranView, which is a free image manipulation program which also supports scanners. Install the program and then you can scan by going File -> Acquire. Click “Select TWAIN Source” and select your LiDE 50 scanner, then lo and behold – you can scan images again!

The fact that using a different program to do the scanning does work indicates that there is a problem with the CanoScan Toolbox rather than the drivers provided by DNA.

This was the only way I was able to get my Canon LiDE 50 scanner to work on Windows 8 Professional. Hopefully this is helpful to others too.

I have been able to confirm that this file works in Windows 8 as well.

All you have to do is Shift+Restart, do Advanced Startup, and do Option 7 startup without driver signing.

Was able to complete installation and Use my Old Canon Lide 50 with Windows 8 Pro.

Jon, In reading the string apparently you were successful in getting the LiDE50 scanner to work on Win7 64b. I’ve got an older LiDE20 that was working right up until I replaced XP with Win7 64b. This is the ONLY device I’ve not found a suitable replacement driver/workaround for. I did see one reference in the string to beta on a LiDE20, but the link was broken. Did you ever have any success in working out a driver for the LiDE20? Thank you in advance for your response, and the great work helping out the other users of the LiDE50.

Regards,
d

Dear all,

thanks – but I have trouble to install the driver, the safety catalog is not ok – I downloaded it from mediafire. Where can I download the current version? It is not possible to register at Do Not Argue – I get always the error: This site is protected by the Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin…..

Cheers,

Alex
