CanoScan N670U Windows 7 Driver

I've been trying for weeks to get my Canon CanoScan N670U scanner working with Windows 7. Since there's no Windows 7 Win 7 driver for it, I tried instruction from here (http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/47041-canoscan-n670u-no-driver.html) which advised compatibility mode. I couldn't get that to work. I've also used the wonderful VueScan program at work (http://www.hamrick.com), but didn't want to buy it for home, even though I'm almost sure that spending the $40 would have solved my problem.

So, here's my solution to make the Canon CanoScan N670U scanner work with Windows 7.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IT DOWNLOAD THE CanoScan LIDE 200 DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 7 FROM http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/scanners/canoscan_series/canoscan_lide200#DriversAndSoftware

THAT'S IT!!!!!!! Weeks of tweaking and work, and I finally figured it out. Ahhhhh. Thanks for the no help, Canon. It would be ever so helpful if you would post that little tidbit of info on the N670U driver download page.

Cheers!

Mabinogi

I'm back to playing Mabinogi, which I love.

In the game, there are several acronyms that people ask about.


S> and B> = Selling and Buying (the person either has something for sale or want to bu something)

NMO = Note Me Offers

ES = Enchant Scroll (as in Goddess ES, one of the best enchants you can get)

k = thousand (as in B> Goddess ES 500k) (Of course, no one would sell it for 500,000 gold unless they were a dope)

c/o = Current Offer (as in S> Spaika Silver Gloves c/o 1mil, which means Selling those gloves and the current offer is 1 million gold)

See you in the game!
