hi kiwii, welcome to the forums , here is a link to the driver CanoScan LiDE 20 hope that helps

Yes I actually found that before posting this thread.
I didn't really understand how to use it...
How do I install it?

 

[pebbly]

after you have downloaded the file [s7117enx.exe] double click on it ,it will then install itself ,as the driver is for Vista you will have to install in compat mode http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html hope this helps

Okay i downloaded the file from that site again.
It is named "lide20lide30n670un676un1240uvst7031a_xpen" I clicked properties and ran as vista service pack 2.
Then it made a new file on my desktop and inside it was some program called SetupSG. So I clicked propertied and ran it as vista service pack 2 and double clicked it.


Nothing really happened.

I'm sorry, but I don't think you're going to have any luck.

I also have one of these scanners, and have tried numerous times to get it to work in Windows 7 without any success.

While I'm sure that's true it doesn't mean that another way may not have been found to get that scanner working.

In just about everyone of those instances, this has worked....

You could try Vuescan from Hamrick if you can't find a driver for the scanner, though the cost of the software/driver will be $40 for the basic, $80 for the pro. There is a trial version to try for 30 days as well.

Good luck

Nothing disrespectful meant. I'm just saying not to be too quick to dismiss any new ideas about solving an old problem.

 

[pebbly]

metalmania31 non taken ,sygnus21 posted a link to a 3rd party app that is a workaround so all is not lost

Hey Dwarf have you tried Vuescan from Hamrick? List of supported scanners - VueScan Release Notes

 

[Dwarf]

No, I haven't (although I have heard of it).

 

[sygnus21]

You might want to give it a try.

I don't partically like advising someone buy a software to get their scanner to work, but it's better than having to purchase a new one. That's why I suggest Vuescan.

Luckily someone provided a hacked inf file to allow the Nikon Scan software for the Nikon Coolscan scanners to work under Window 7 and Vista x64. I have a post here on how to use it - http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/44994-getting-your-nikon-coolscan-work-w7-x64.html

Perhaps there's something on the net for Canon?

Try this

The only application I know works with my scanner is form here:
VueScan Scanning Software for Windows 7, Mac OS X (Snow Leopard) and Linux
