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

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

    • Excuse me, but where did I say they need to subsidize them? I'm simply pointing out they would rather have profits over caring about the impact to the consumer. It's up to you to decide then.
    • Shocker! It would be crazy to be ready to introduce a "fold" phone but have no plans happening for a followup model.
    • XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance. All models should integrate seamlessly with compatible BRAVIA TVs and support the BRAVIA Connect app for setup and control.
