Is there ANY remedy for these bothersome things, other than buying new software (Corel) and a new scanner? I know it's been almost 8 years on these Canon puppies, but they're as good as new, take a licking and keep on ticking. So I would either disconnect the scanner to get rid of the errors, or live with them.Īnd those drivers that throw the errors? They are related to the WIA driver. Tried it with WIA - fine - works like a champ.īehind all this, I was cleaning up my Event Logs by correcting error sources, and discovered in conjunction with the comments at the Canon forum that the scanner connection throws two simultaneous red-bang errors, both documented to trace directly back to the driver problem with Windows 10. Started with TWAIN - no go - scanner unresponsive. So Corel needs configuration to 'Acquire Source' or the scanner. You have to run the mouse across the screen and 'File,' 'Edit' and 'View' show as gray on blue. Also some nuisance items, like the invisibility of the Menu toolbar because the text color and menu-bar color are the same. Then I got the drivers and configured to Nuance. My Win 10 system is a dual-boot Win7/Win10, and I had it set up under Win 7 - no problem. But on another Windows 7 machine, it was always set up as TWAIN. I probably configured it to Nuance PaperPort 14 without thinking of taking notes. Both Canon and Win 10 8800F owners say 'It SHOULD work in Windows 10.' The Canon forums make it clear that Canon never updated its drivers for Windows 10. The 8800F's driver history goes as far as Windows 7 or 8.

Do I think it's 'time to replace?' No- o o oo! We bought two of them in 2009 to replace a pair of HP flatbeds in the same class of device and design. Should this be 'Operating Systems?' 'Windows Software?' or 'Peripherals?'
