W7 compatible driver for CanoScan Lide 35

[bakerla]

My original CD that came with the CanoScan Lide 35 scanner is not recognized by Windows 7 on my new PC. I have attempted to download the latest available drivers for the scanner, but they do not work. With W7 so new will a new driver be available soon? Other solution?

There's a Windows 7 driver on the USA Canon site:

Photo Scanners - Color Image Scanner - CanoScan LiDE 35 - Canon USA Consumer Products

Exactly what doesn't work with the Windows 7 driver provided by Canon?

 

[bakerla]

I downloaded 1) the Twain driver, 2) the Toolbox 4.5.1.2, and 3) the recommended driver called deldrvwin. They drop into a "download" file where I then install. I have done this about three times.

During the installation of the Toolbox driver, I get a message from Program Compatibility Assistant that states "This program may not have installed correctly".

When I attempt to scan using the Canoscan Toolbox, I get a message "Specifies the program where the scanned image is transferred". I have no idea what this means.

DelDrv is an application that removes Canon drivers. You don't want to use that.

Install the twain driver, and then install the toolbox.

Canoscan Lide 35

I installed the Twain driver and the Tollbox without the deldrvwin driver, and I did not get the message "This program may not have installed correctly". However, I still am getting the message "Specifies the program where the scanned image is transferred", and nothing will run.

Do you have 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7?

 

[bakerla]

64 bit

 

[SillyMan]

You don't like google, do you?
I found this in 30 seconds:

Canon Lide 35 - Vista Forums

And stop trying to install a 32 bit driver in a 64 bit OS. This won't work until the hell freezes.

Hi, I have tried to install the vista 64 driver onto my Win7 64 bit machine (obtained from the canadian site via google). And have exactly the same problem.

Any more ideas out there?



This is the only outstanding task in the migration from XP to Win7, everything else went like clockwork.

Have you tried to download the drivers from here?

I've done that too.

This may just be a case of simple incompatibility and no amount of installing different drivers is going to correct it.. sorry but sometimes it happens...

Similar issues with an older HP flatbed. There is a driver for the scanner but the HP software that made it functional will not be updated.

In the meanwhile VueScan works, though the interface sucks.

You could install an WinXP virtual OS on your PC and use the old driver. I suppose you do not use the scanner every 5 minutes, so switching to an virtual WinXP should not be a problem.

this is 32 bit. looking for 64.

Hi guys and gals,

I just got off the phone with Canon - the CanoScan LiDE 35 is NOT compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. You can buy a new scanner through their Customer Loyalty program (CusaCanonLoyaltyProgramView) and they'll give you a 10% discount and free shipping for your troubles. New photoscanner costs you roughly 80 bucks (free shipping) after discount. they do have a cheaper model - roughly 55 bucks.

In a laughable sidenote; you still have to download the Windows 7 driver from their support site, but they swear it works.

Hope this helps

one more thing

I just discovered - that's free OVERNIGHT shipping. I think that just sold me.

 

[pparks1]

Yeah, I ran into this same issue at home. I just left the scanner connected to an old Windows XP machine that I have lying around the house. Fortunately, I don't use it all that often.

I had a problem with this scanner trying to install as if it were a Canoscan LiDE50. I adapted this guy's methods (Windows 7 – Canon LiDE 35 installation fix | Bull's Rambles) and they worked for me.
I've reprinted them below but changed what I needed to to get mine to work. Hope this helps someone


Open device manager locate the scanner device (it probably has a yellow exclamation mark next to it).

Select properties then update driver.

Choose Browse my computer for driver software then Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

Look for Canon Inc. in the manufacturer list, then select CanoScan LiDE 35, instead of the default CanoScan LiDE 50. <-- you may have to first download and install this driver from Canon's website

Click next and ignore any warnings about the driver not matching your hardware (you shouldn't get these anyway), that’s it all done your scanner should now work.
