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!
