Windows 10: Canon CanoScan 8600F instalation. it. Do I need my original CD?

I have not used my Canon CanoScan 8600F for over a year, I uninstalled it. When I used it, it worked well. Now I am having problems installing it. Do I need my original CD?

:)

 

In response to no available driver for Canon Canonscan 8600F for Windows 10

There is no current driver update for this scanner either from Microsoft or Canon.

Windows 7 driver will not work with it either.

Suggest you download VUESCAN - it worked within minutes for my 8600F

It's FREE to try for as long as you want but with a watermark which can only be removed by purchasing.

The full versions are available in Standard or Professional Editions.

Prices are shown for each.

Hope this helps.

 

Using a CanoScan with Windows 7 driver on Windows 10

Quite simply this is a 64 bit Driver Issue - I tore my hair out for 2 hours trying various ideas found in forums - no response from the scanner using the new 64 bit Win 10 machine when installing from the original CD ROM - the old
32 bit Windows 10 machine which I had upgraded from Win 7 32 bit had the 8400F working perfectly with Installation from the original CD ROM.

However nothing from the new 64 bit Win 10 machine.

The simple solution is

• The File in the directory is the Scanner Driver Scangear CS – obtainable from
  https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/...n-series/canoscan-8400f?tab=drivers_downloads
• Need to choose the Windows 7 64 Bit Driver.
• After this can install the Canoscan Toolbox from the Setup CD ROM – Setup will note the Driver is already installed.

Any other programs are optional

Now working perfectly

 

How to install CanoScan on Windows 10

Don't install the software from the CD that came with the scanner - that software is not supported on Windows 10. Instead, install the software

from Canon's website. That software is supported on Windows 10.
