<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Scanner technology has come a long way, and some older Canon scanners (that are not horribly pricey) are working just fine with updated Windows version.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I still use and absolutely swear by the Canon ImageFormula series of scanners. Sheet feed, have OCR built in, and run just seamlessly for me. These scanners are now 10 years old
or so, but have survived every operating system upgrade I’ve gone through with them. I’m using a Canon DRM160.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Those older Canon 5080s were so picky about operating systems and just did not upgrade well to new operating systems, but I’m here to tell you that Canon does indeed make scanners
that will. Bonus: they have a smaller footprint so don’t take up hardly any room on my desk.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The answer is probably no, but here’s the situation. A long time ago I had a Canon high speed scanner, DR 50 something. I think it was a DR5090, but I’m not entirely sure. When Windows
7 came out, there were no longer drivers that worked with it, though the scanner itself worked fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">So I convinced my department to spend another $7,000 on a DR 8090 scanner which is still working fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">But Windows 10 came out, again, no drivers supported it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">So I hid my Windows 7 PC under my desk, even though we had strict rules to surplus all our old computers due to Windows 7 no longer being updated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Five years later, and if I still want a high-speed scanner that works with modern Windows 11, I’m going to have to beg again. And it is silly, because this scanner still works just
fine. Also the college wants to avoid spending money it does not need to spend.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">So I continue to hide the PC controlling this scanner and wonder if anyone has a better solution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I did try running the scanners in a VM, both when Windows XP became deprecated and after that Windows 7, but the drivers would not communicate with the virtual machine. If anyone has
had luck doing this, let me know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">With such an expensive scanner, I’m disappointed that Canon has refused twice to keep its drivers updated for modern operating systems. I know it is in their best interest to sell
new models, but they could have sold new drivers for a few bucks and kept cash flow going that way as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I worry a little about continuing to run Windows 7 just so I can use this scanner, but I also don’t want to explain why I want a new one when this one works fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
