Instead of needing to download a driver from the manufacturer and a software to run the scanner you can download one small file from us, install it on your computer, and within 60 seconds you should be able to press the Scan button within VueScan and be up and running again.

#HOW TO MAKE CANON MP160 SCANNER WORK WITH WINDOWS10 INSTALL# How are we able to do this? In most cases, VueScan doesnвЂ™t need a driver from Canon, so how is VueScan able to communicate with the scanner? This is where VueScanвЂ™s secret sauce comes in to play. Over the past 20 years, we have been reverse engineering scanners so that we are able to communicate with them without needing a driver from the scannerвЂ™s manufacturer. #HOW TO MAKE CANON MP160 SCANNER WORK WITH WINDOWS10 DRIVER# Why doesnвЂ™t Canon prioritize keeping old scanners working?

#HOW TO MAKE CANON MP160 SCANNER WORK WITH WINDOWS10 DRIVERS#Д«ut our guess is that it has something to do with the cost of keeping software and drivers up to date, and the desire to continue to sell new scanners. We think that there is a better way, and have found that a small team of two programmers is able to keep our software working with over 6000 scanners in a way that a multibillion dollar company isnвЂ™t. History of Canon ScannersД¬anon has released some of the most popular scanners of the last 20 years, starting in the year 1998.

CanonвЂ™s most widely sold scanner product lines have been the LiDE series (USB powered portable scanners), the CanoScan series (flatbed scanners with a film scanning lamp in the lid) and the Pixma series (printer/scanner/copiers with a scanner on top). The LiDE scanner series began with scanners based on the National Semiconductor LM98XX chipsets, and were widely sold between 19. These included the N650U, N670U, N1220U, LiDE 20, LiDE 25 and LiDE 30. These were USB 1.1 scanners powered by the USB cable, and while they were portable, they were also fairly slow. Once USB 2.0 became widely available after 2002, Canon switched their LiDE scanner series to use chipsets based on the Genesys Logic GeneScan series. These supported USB 2.0, were very fast, used little power and were powered by the USB cable. These LiDE scanners were probably CanonвЂ™s biggest selling scanners ever, and included the LiDE 35, LiDE 50, LiDE 60, LiDE 80, LiDE 90, LiDE 100, LiDE 110, LiDE 120, LiDE 200, LiDE 210, LiDE 220 and LiDE 700F. Recently, Canon released the LiDE 300 and LiDE 400 scanners, which are still USB bus powered, but use a proprietary chipset and a command set the same as newer Canon printer/scanner/copiers. One thing to be careful of is that many people have reported to us that these models of scanners are often non-functional the first time theyвЂ™re used.

#HOW TO MAKE CANON MP160 SCANNER WORK WITH WINDOWS10 DRIVER#Д«ecause of this, we canвЂ™t recommend people buy these, but instead recommend that people buy a used LiDE 100/110/120/200/210/220 on ebay.
