                                  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

                                  working fine.</span></p>

                                  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

                                  would not communicate with the virtual

                                  their best interest to sell new
