20 Most Recent Canon CanoScan FB630U Flatbed Scanner Questions & Answers

Canoscan FB630U - No need to buy 'VueScan' - that does work but $70 is a long way towards a new scanner.

I've had no problems using the XP canon driver (v. 5.3.2.0) under vista (just download, decompress then 'Update driver' in the device manager and point it to the decompressed files).

This is a TWAIN driver not the newer WIA type driver which means that the scanner will not appear in Windows Fax and Scan or in the the Scanners and Cameras group of control panel. Photoshop / Paintshop pro etc are perfectly happy to use TWAIN scanners, however!

Hope that helps someone!

look at the port on the scanner and look at the cable if they match they should work.

canoscan fb630u, have windows 7 installed

Hi There,

At the above site you will see that your scanner is only supported with Drivers up to XP, unfortunately.

Sorry about the bad news.

Regards,

as of the above site NO, No you cannot.

The best you MAY be able to do is to install in compatibility mode, for XP SP2, Run as and install as Administrator.
XP driver below.

Get a scan program that doesn't need anyones drivers..
Vuescan it's great below..

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Canon supports this scanner under Vista. Check if the Windows generic TWAIN scanner driver will work. The Canon software won't work. If the generic driver can be installed, then you should be able to acquire scans in Paint (File > Import from Scanner or Camera), Windows Fax and Scan (New Scan) (some versions of Vista) or Windows Photo Gallery (IIRC it works like Paint).

I hope this helps.

(Canon wants you to upgrade. I have a different scanner that isn't officially supported past XP and the generic driver works fine. Unfortunately, you can't just use the XP driver in the compatibility mode due to the lack of signed drivers that are required in the 64-bit OS)

choose which OS you have - Windows 7 and Vista do not appear on the list and therefore the device is not support on these OSs
