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

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 Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
