Windows 8 Canoscan LiDE 35 / 64 bit driver

[Keith McMullan]

Don't throw that Canoscan LiDE 35 away just because you have upgraded to Windows 8 64 bit. Cannon says that there is no driver available and that this old but good scanner has seen the end of it's days. There is a workaround available. Originally for Vista 64 bit, it also works for Windows 8 64 bit !!! Follow this link and have a great day. http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/61060-canoscan-lide-35-windows-7-64bit-driver.html
