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,

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

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

Sorry for the broken links, the files were hosted on a free server and the account doesn't work now.

If a moderator can edit the post and delete those links... thanks. ;)

Fast solution, eMule link:

ed2k://|file|Canon%20Scanner%20CanoScan%20USB%20WIA%20Driver%201.2.0.7z|2565154|27137AF210F4CFC74F82674306FD6B50|h=RITX4LGY7Z5JJFLLE53JHL7YTYISKOLG|/

If you need it, download and share the file forever. Thanks. :)

Not everyone uses eMule so I uploaded the drivers in zip archive on 3 different file host servers (just to prolong existence):

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

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com

      I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
