sphere2k Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 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? First of all, thanks a lot for providing the N650U WIA driver! @Bettina: the WIA driver doesn't come with a setup program. After plugging in the scanner, Windows will try to automatically install it. In this case, it will fail, since Microsoft doesn't ship the driver with windows. You will need to specify the location at which Windows can find the driver (i.e. the path where you extracted the 7zip file). Unless there is an incompatibility with Windows Vista, the scaner should appear as a WIA device afterwards. In case you have already installed the scanner with the TWAIN driver, you should get rid of these. I'm not sure whether Canon provides an uninstall option and if it really removes the driver or just some additional apps. Otherwise, do the following: * go to the device manager (in XP, it's located in the computer management console - right-click on Computer > Manage) * right-click the N650U and click 'update driver' * follow the wizard (manually hint Windows to the WIA driver folder) Regs, sphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReserveBelg Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I downloaded the file, but it looks corrupt: 7zip and winrar are telling me that the archive is corrupt. Tried downloading it several times by rightclicking and "save", but the archive stays corrupt. Is there something wrong with me or with the archive?

Bettina Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 thanks a lot. I tried it over and over again, but I just couldn't make it work. And then suddenly... the 5th time, it DID work. Can't explain what I did differently, but I'm happy now, because I can scan again ;-) Thanks a lot for all your help. best regards, Bettina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdSandra Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 When I try to extract the files from canonwia 7z using 7Zip I get the following: "Canonwia 7z is not supported archive". I really need this driver since I have a new computer with the Vista operating system and my Canon N656U Scanner will not work with the old TWAIN driver. I have downloaded the canonwia 7z file at least 5 times with no success. I have also downloaded and installed the 7Zip application software two times. Please help me get a good copy of the Canon WIA driver. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelGR Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I need this driver, the 7z file is corrupted and I can't find it in other place. Could anyone upload the file again? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finrandil Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Not everyone uses eMule so I uploaded the drivers in zip archive on 3 different file host servers (just to prolong existence): http://www.zshare.net/download/18764126c2d75d3b/ http://www.badongo.com/file/11343494 http://www.fileshost.com/en/file/60664/Canon-Scanner-WIA-Drivers-1-2-0-zip.html Models supported: CanoScan N670U/N676U CanoScan N1240U CanoScan N650U/N656U CanoScan N1220U CanoScan D646U CanoScan D660U CanoScan D1230U/D1230UF CanoScan D2400U/D2400UF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiftie Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Does any one have this scanner installed on Vista 64Bit as I'm having problems. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Lesniak Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hey Guys, It seems that all the links on this forum page are dead. If anyone still has a WIA driver for the Canoscan N 650U, I would really appreciate if you can send me a current link. Or PM me and we can find another way to transfer it. Thanks in advance, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
