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.

    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.

    Drivers are provided by the hardware manufacturer, not by Microsoft.
    It's up to the manufacturer of the hardware to write and make
    available for download those drivers. Especially if your hardware is
    older, it may  well be that the manufacturer has decided that it's not
    worth his time and effort to develop drivers for hardware that he is
    no longer selling.

    If the driver you need doesn't exist, I understand that you are
    annoyed. But be annoyed with Canon, not with Microsoft.

    You will need a new scanner or, like me keep your old XP Laptop ;-)

    I would like to hear from the people who posted in this conversation over the years (yes, years) and see if they are still using this device and how often?

    I'm still using my Canon N650U scanner on Win 7... I don't do a lot of scanning (perhaps 100 pages so far this year), so I don't see the need to go out an buy a new one when the old one does all I need.
