<p>If one of these solutions doesn't meet your needs, and you
still want to use an old scanner, then you might consider trying
VueScan from Hamrick Software. <br>
</p>
<p>Vuescan is not free software, but they are a small business
that have been providing reliable replacement drivers and
practical, usable software for discontinued scanners for well
over 20 years now. <br>
</p>
<p>I have no personal or business relationship with the company
other than having purchased their software over a decade ago, in
order to be able to continue to use an HP Scanjet 4850 - which
I'm still using now. <br>
</p>
<p>Here is their support page on the Canon DR-9080C, if that's the
scanner you're looking for drivers for: <br>

<div>I've worked with that model. It's pretty good. We've been
using a Canon DR X10c for over 10 years. The double sheet
detection and driver software for color dropout and image
adjustment is way better, but they're in the 10k+ range.
They also weigh 87 pounds.</div>

</div>
<div>Just something to consider if you do ever get your unit
to upgrade.</div>

</div>
<div>Lately we've been way down on scanning requests because
we almost always get digital versions from the publishers,
but it's nice to have a such a workhorse. I've only had to
replace the rollers and pads and keep the glass clean.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have found that these older
scanner series will work with older drivers on
newer machines, but the company doesn't maintain
the 'driver signing' which keeps them "secure".
As far as I can tell, the protocols work exactly
the same despite the newer operating systems.</p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, when you install the
Windows 7 driver, even if you confirm that you
are okay with the driver being unsigned, Windows
10/11 security will not allow an installation.
That is, it will behave as though the
installation worked, but nothing will happen.
This is because you have to turn off driver
signature enforcement.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"

style="font-size:11pt">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-left:0.5in"> <span
style="font-size:11pt">So I convinced
my department to spend another $7,000
on a DR 8090 scanner which is still
working fine.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-left:0.5in"> <span
style="font-size:11pt">But Windows 10
came out, again, no drivers supported
it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-left:0.5in"> <span
style="font-size:11pt">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-left:0.5in"> <span
style="font-size:11pt">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-left:0.5in"> <span
style="font-size:11pt">So I continue
to hide the PC controlling this
scanner and wonder if anyone has a
better solution.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-left:0.5in"> <span
style="font-size:11pt">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-left:0.5in"> <span
style="font-size:11pt">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-left:0.5in"> <span
style="font-size:11pt">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.</span></p>
