Canon Scanner N670U Drivers
I am running Win 7 Pro and have a Canon Flatbet Scanner Model N670U.
I saw an old post in this forum for this model and how to install the drivers. Since it was old post I thought I might want to get more recent information.
I called Canon and they do not have drivers for Win 7, but they do have drivers for Vista. I was told by the first tech I talked to that these will work in Win 7. I download both the drivers and the Toolbox which he said I would need. He also said that all I had to do was install the drivers and then hook up the scanner and Win 7 would recognize it.
I did as he told me and that DOES NOT work, the drivers will NOT install. So then I tried "Trouble Shoot Compatibility" and nothing I did would allow the drivers to be installed. From that old post it said that if the drivers were installed in the compatibility mode, that would work. Another reason for newer info.
First is there another way to install using the "Compatibility Mode"?
Has anyone since that post been able to get this Scanner Model drivers to work.
The second tech I talked to at Canon said that under no circumstances would those drivers work. I don't always believe them because they are trying to sell me a new scanner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
