Thanx so much for any new insight anyone might have. Has anyone figured out any other option? The VueScan worked great, but the scanner software didn’t, so maybe there’s some workaround to use only the driver, with some other software that will recognize the driver? LIDE 110, 200 or later which have the latest drivers included. You are best off replacing the scanner with a modern one e.g. The LIDE 30 is now over 8 years old (2003) and 64 OS' were not that common then.
#CANOSCAN LIDE 20 64BIT DRIVER INSTALL#
That’s way too stressful to me, especially since Windows flashes threatening popups discouraging this behavior.īefore all this, I tried to install the Canon LiDE60 driver, which I’d heard works with LiDE50, but I’m not sure I installed it correctly. I have a Canoscan LIDE 30 and I have no 64 bit drivers for that. The developer at the link you posted said that you have to log on in safe mode every time and turn off something in Windows so it will recognize it. The DNA driver is apparently unsigned, so Windows 7 64-bit doesn’t seem to like it. After I unplugged the scanner and plugged it back in, the driver wasn’t recognized at all anymore. I tried CanoScan and had the same problems I had with VueScan.

I finally located it, and for a moment it was recognized by the system. I plugged in the scanner, extracted the files, and hoped Windows would find the driver on its own. I found the installation of DNA very confusing. I simply want to scan and save to my desktop. Why would I ‘transfer’ it to a program? I have no clue what that means.

When I click on Scan-1, then Scan, it prompts me to ‘Specify a program where the scanned image is transferred’.

I click Select, and get an error message ‘Unable to select TWAIN source’. I tried to use CanoScan Toolbox with it, but when I choose ‘Save’ and hit Scan, I’m prompted to ‘Select Source’ and it displays VueScan TWAIN 1.0 (32-32). The VueScan worked great as long as I used the scanner application that came with it, but it covers all images with watermarks, unless you buy the paid version, which I can’t afford. I’ve tried both of these approaches and neither worked for me so far.
