All hardware support, including any drivers or software that allow it to communicate with an operating system - come from the hardware manufacturer.  In this case - Canon.

A google search resulted in one possible kludge you could glue together and maybe get some positive (possibly temporary) results...

How to install a CanoScan N650U scanner on Vista or Windows 7

Posted on October 26, 2009 by Daniel

I have an Canon CanoScan N650U scanner that I use a few times a year. Canon never released Vista drivers for this scanner, using the instructions below made the scanner work on Windows 7 for me:

  1. Download the XP drivers from Canon’s website
  2. Install the drivers
  3. The driver didn’t install, but unzipped to C:/Temp/CanoScanCSUv571a
  4. Go to C:/Temp/CanoScanCSUv571a and uncompress CanoScanCSUv571a.exe
  5. Plug in your scanner
  6. Go to your device manager.
  7. Click on Add a Device and select the scanner
  8. Right click to update driver information
  9. Select browse my computer for driver software
  10. Type in: C:\Temp\CanoScanCSUv571a
  11. Click next and my scanner worked

Update: In the comments Paul wrote, “I used the WIA drivers, which I found here: http://www.normalgeeks.com/Canoscan_WIA.zip”  I haven’t tried it, but’s worth checking out.

    Well that's where you are WRONG because I use OCR on my Canon using (XP) and hence the reference to an $80 fee for software I simply do not require whilst using XP. Many a scanner can be had for $80!

    One wonders if people who write comments on here are closely affiliated with certain (ViewScan) software providers?

    I wouldn't pay 30 cents let alone $30 for this software when I have no need to submit to rip off merchants exploiting people with old hardware.

    I will post no more on this subject or be drawn into puerile irrelevant arguments with people promoting their software.

    Thanks for your reply, I looked into this and your right I could use VueScan software to run my Canon on win7 64bit, but this costs $80! What's the point? I could buy a new scanner for little more.

    VueScan Standard Edition, which is all you need for a  Canon N650U, costs just $29.95, not $80. How many scanners have you bought lately for $29.95? VueScan Pro costs more, but you don't need any of its extra features for the Canon N650U anyway...

    As I said in my reply of April 11, I have quite successfully use a Canon N650u scanner on Win 7. Yes, that was Win 7 in 32-bit mode and you are correct that the Canon drivers won't work under Win 7 in 64-bit mode. The VueScan drivers, however, do work in both modes.

    Thanks for your reply, I looked into this and your right I could use VueScan software to run my Canon on win7 64bit, but this costs $80! What's the point? I could buy a new scanner for little more.

    I'll stick with plan A I think &  keep the old XP laptop it's always handy to have a back up pc & like millions of others I still prefer XP to all the O/S that have superseded it.
