    Looking for QuickCam Express, Canoscan n340p and Compaq IJ600 for win7


    Hi there people!

    First I'd like to congratulate the creators and mods of this forum, I found interesting info here, that's why I registered an account :)

    Well, Basically I have 3 months using Windows 7 x64, and I'm pretty happy with it, the performance is really better than in XP (I used XP SP3 as my main SO)... but due to some incompatibilities, I had to reformat, and then do a dual boot using again XP SP3 and Windows 7 Home Premium x64...

    The reason is that, besides in W7 everything goes smooth, I'm unable to use my three devices, basically:
    - Logitech QuickCam Express camera (the rounded one, USB Device)
    - Canon Canoscan N340P Flat Bed Scanner (conected via paralell port)
    - Compaq IJ600 Inkjet Printer (USB)

    The camera and the printer doesn't install automatically because it seems that W7 doesn't include drivers as XP did in the past the scanner is another history, because of being connected to the paralell port (the only option) I need the driver, otherwise, I cannot even get W7 to detect the device through the add hardware assistant... Using the "manual" one (the option located in device mannager) is the same result, no driver is included in W7 So, I had to install those in my XP partition to get them working, obviously, I need to exit W7 and enter XP everytime I need this devices (not very often BTW...) Everything else in W7 goes perfectly as I said. I've tried to look on manufacturer websites, but no luck (no drivers for W7 )

    Is there any way to get this devices working on W7? I've read in some other places that Vista included drivers for those devices... Is there any chance I can get those? or an alternative way to install this... I've even tried to install XP drivers in compat mode, but as they are 32 bit, W7 will not work with those (I use x64)

    I was thinking on XP mode in W7 too for getting those devices to work..., Can I install them on XP mode and use them from there?... I don't know if the integration with W7 goes that further to let me use my devices as they were installed locally (maybe fake network or something...)

    Well, enough blah blah, I don't want to get you bored :)

    Thanks in advance guys!!

    See ya!!
