Scanner Drivers
« on: August 04, 2016, 10:26:35 AM »
Hi All,
I know that this is a long shot. I have a Cannon Scanner 3000ex I also have a win7 machine. The problem is the scanner works fine but just not with win7 because of no drivers. I was using it on a vista machine without any trouble. Did a wipe and install win7 and now the scanner is a paper weight. Anyone have any ideas as how to get this working again?

Thanks

    Thanks. I did see that before but I have win7 64 bit. That drive only works on a 32 bit machine.

    I have and during the install you get an error saying that the drivers are for a 32 bit machine and then cancels out.
