Canon DR-2580C Scanner Problems
I recently upgraded to W7 64 and can't get my Canon-DR-2850C scanner to work. According to Microsoft it's supposed to be compatible. I got and installed the driver package from the Canon site. Driver installed OK and device manager says it is "functioning properly." (I did not install the "job tool" below the Twain driver because it doesn't say it's compatible with W7.)
When I click the scanner icon in control panel it throws a pop-up that says: "You need a WIA driver to use this device" and it invites me to install it from my mfr CD, which I don't have anymore and anyway would not be compatible with W7. No scanning applications can see the scanner. Looked up this error message and it seems to mean I haven't installed a Twain driver, but of course that's what the Canon driver is.
Anyone have an idea about how to straighten this out? Canon seems to offer no support email links on their site (something I'll keep in mind during my next scanner purchase decision).
