Canon N650U Scanner WIA drivers


Recommended Posts

Wow. I seriously did not expect to be able to help in this thread, and I just randomly clicked on the title, but as it turns out I may be able to help you out Spyder. I don't know if it's my love for Canon (I have the Powershot A70, the N1240U scanner, and a laser printer by them) or just some twist of fate, but let's see what I can do to help. ;)

Alright. As I said, I do have the N1240U scanner, and after tearing my room apart after reading your second post, I finally found the CD that came with the scanner. However, I have no idea where to look on the CD for the drivers you seek.

From inspecting the CD, it looks like it has support for the N670U, N676U, and N1240U scanners, but I cannot find any mention of the N650U. :(

If you're willing to help me look for it, I'll scour every bit of the CD to find the drivers you want though. :D

I've got a n650u & the last driver files i have are around 10meg, if you still want them then let me know.

I think those are the TWAIN drivers for the scanner. I'm almost positive that the WIA drivers for the scanner would be a much smaller file.

If you have the CD that came with the scanner, then you should have the WIA drivers on there.

I've got the cd but not sure what to look for ?

EDIT: I've rar'd the last drivers i downloaded http://www.tuco.dsl.pipex.com/CanonScanner.rar ( 5mb, don't know if pipex allow hot links ) if they're not on there, then you'll have to tell what exactly i'm looking for on the cd.

Amazingly I still get quite a few PM requests from this thread. Just as an update, yes, I still have the WIA drivers. The only reason I don't link them is because they're currently on my private ISP webspace and I don't want to risk exceeding bandwidth (they offer VERY little).

If anyone has any good suggestions on a free file hosting website that will take a ~7mb file and not delete it after a certain amount of time, please let me know. I'll upload it and link it in this thread for future requests/interest.

Thanks.

ok.. here's a download link for the Canon scanner WIA drivers:

following models are supported

CanoScan N670U/N676U

CanoScan N1240U

CanoScan N650U/N656U

CanoScan N1220U

CanoScan D646U

CanoScan D660U

CanoScan D1230U/D1230UF

CanoScan D2400U/D2400UF

Enjoy

Here is the direct download link: http://devrjan.googlepages.com/canonwia.7z

You'll need 7-Zip to extract the package.

++Thanks, I downloaded the files and unzipped them using 7-zip.

However my computer knowledge is not huge, so I haven't succeeded in finding the program that executes the installation... Is it because I use Vista instead of XP? According to Canons website The Canoscan N650U is not Vista-applicable. What do I do then?

Thanks for any help! I would hate having to replace a perfectly good scanner due to the manufacturers lack of SW-upgrades...

best regards,

Bettina

    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
