Canon CanoScan 9900F drivers

[Till]

Hello
Does anybody knows where can i get drives for Canon flatbed scanner CanoScan 9900F for Windows 7 proffesional, or how can I install old Win XP drivers?
I've checked official Canon page for drivers but I've found just drivers for windows vista and those cannot be installed.

Hi Till Welcome to Windows Seven Forums,

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 - http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/44994-getting-your-nikon-coolscan-work-w7-x64.html. 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.

Vuescan didn't work?

You could try XP Mode for Windows 7. The only issue is if you work in Virtual PC you're working in a 16-bit environment - scans will be in 16-bit as opposed to 32-bit color mode.

You can read about and download XP mode here - Download Windows XP Mode

Nope Vuescan didn't work.
I've thinking about XP mode but it is like you say 16-bit environment, I can't help with that.
So I just plug scanner on to other older machine.

He need them for Windows 7 which aren't available.
