It is strange that Canon is not releasing Vista x64 drivers for Lide 20 scanner. Neither US page nor UK page have the drivers, although the later Lide line scanners to have the drivers for 64 bit Vista.
It is possible to get the scanner working on Vista x64. Vuescan applications installs its own drivers and actually is a very nice application to work with. It is not free though (40$ for standard, 80$ for pro) and limits you to usage only within Vuescan, meaning that other applications will not see the drivers that Vuescan has installed and you will have to use Vuescan all the time. It is a grear application though that outperforms any bundled-with-the-scanner utilities that I have seen.
However I would like to know if there is a beta Vista x64 driver for Lide 20 or if there any free solution for this driver issue.
Thanks.
