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.

    Hi,

    I have got the same scanner and have tried the given solution but it didnt worked because I have got Windows 7 64bit OS. So I am feeling helpless as I have got only this scanner.

    I will be grateful if anyone can provide a good solution for this matter. Even anyone from Microsoft. It will be really appreciated.

    Thanks

    Sam

    Actually for years I am using this device as well and I faced the same problem when I immigrate to Win7, and after all I found the Driver Pack 2011 (also there is 2012 version) which is a Data Bank of Different Drivers which easily could find apropriate driver for device such this scanner and also update your other devices drivers.

    I used it and now the Scanner easily ready to use!

    Hope this could be helpful for other guys.

    "Cobra" or whatever?

    I guess that depends how much you want to send all your data to other people.  ;-)

    So glad I found this thread, I was about to junk the scanner after upgrading from XP to Windows 7.

    Worked just fine as per Bourkey2577's post, although I went through Device Manager to find the driver in C:\TEMP.

    I then installed OmniPage Pro and CS Toolbox from the original disk that came with the scanner.

    Don't give up out there.

    Be warned - it may not function as intended and you may end up having more trouble than it is worth.  However, if all you use is likely 1/10th of the functionality - you probably won't notice anyway.  ;-)

    As long as everyone making this device works realizes what they are doing...

    This review says it for me:

    http://www.reviewcentre.com/review386269.html

    Notice the date of the review...

    29/06/2008

    (And one of the other reviewers owned that scanner for 3 years in 2008.)

    Yeah - it didn't work for this guy back in 2008 in Vista.  This device is old - I am sure there have been no improvements in technology (size, speed, functionality included) in such devices since then.  ;-)

    While sometimes it is nice to hang on to older equipment (cannot afford a new piece of equipment - although you somehow updated operating systems... *shrug* OR that device does something nothing else can do - although I don't see much special about this scanner... OR they just don't use it enough to replace it) - sometimes you will be better off in the long run ditching the things and finding a new alternative.  Like faxing - just do it online.

    Just a different perspective.  I am glad people are getting what they need.  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?
