[need driver] Canon CanoScan N1220U

I found Windows 7 drivers that work with the Canoscan N1220U. I've just verified this on my Windows 7 PC.
I've uploaded them to my personal web site at http://www.miloonline.net/stash/CanoScanCSUv571a.zip.
To get them working, simply:
- Connect your scanner to your PC. Windows 7 will try to find drivers, and fail.
- Right-click Start -> Computer and select "Manage." In the left-hand pane of the Computer Management window, click "Device Manager."
- Find your scanner (probably underneath "Other Devices") and right-click it, and select "Update Driver Software..."
- Select "Browse my computer for driver software," then enter the folder where you unzipped the CanoScanCSUv571a.zip file. The drivers should install OK.

Did not work
Hello,
I tried exactly as you mentioned above but whenever I select the unzipped folder in step 4, I always get back an error "Windows was unable install your Canoscan. Windows could not find driver software for your device. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
I have tried above on both Windows Vista and Windows 7. BTW, both these OS'es are bit.
What am I doing wrong?

Yeah it would help to know if MiloDC's fix works under both 32 and 64-bit OS's
BTW you said...
32 or 64-bit.
Also, While I can't help you find the drivers for you Canoscan, I can offer you an alternative....
You could try Vuescan from Hamrick if you don't find a suitable solution. The software allows you to use your scanner on a 64-bit OS through its program by providing its own 64-bit driver. It usually offers more options and tweaks over the standard software issued with the scanner. The downfall is it will set you back $40.00 for the Standard edition or $80.00 for the Pro edition. There is a 30-day trial version as well.
And for what it's worth, some of us Nikon users were in the same boat until someone found a solution for us which I compiled here - Getting your Nikon Coolscan to work on W7 x64. I know this doesn't help your situation, but maybe you could search the web like I did to see if someone has an equivalent fix.
Good luck, and give Vuescan a try if you can't find a suitable solution.

And it also works i Denmark. Thank you so much. It is great. I can now use the Canon N1220U canoscan with my Win7 32-bit machine.
Read this if you have the newest version of Photoshop - Adobe Photoshop CS5 - and have problems with the import function. To import the scanner, copy the plug-in in to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Import-Export
Download the plug-in file here:
