Trying to set this scanner up on Windows 7 on my machine. The options are:
Canoscan Lide 20 Driver For Mac
Lide 25 scanner drivers 64 bit free download - CanoScan LiDE 30 ScanGear CS-U, 64 bit driver.zip, nVidia Graphics Driver (Windows Vista 64-bit / Windows 7 64-bit / Windows 8 64-bit), and many more. Sep 06, 2011 Windows 7 Hardware Compatibility https. I'm unable to get Win7 to recognize my CanoScan LIDE 20 scanner. Any ideas how to make it work? I suspect that there are no 64-bit drivers available from Canon -- is there a Win7 mode I can exploit? Tuesday, July 28, 2009 6:16 PM. Canon canoscan lide 20 scanner driver 64 bit drivers download - X 64-bit Download - x64-bit download - freeware, shareware and software downloads.
Try using a Virtual Machine with XP and connecting to the scanner.I have tried using VirtualBox VM with XP guest host to set this up, however I just found out that VirutalBox does not support USB3 ports. Perhaps VMWare player will work..
Okay so this is a legacy scanner, probably easier to replace than support.

I was able to get the scanner working on my Windows 7 x64 using VMWare, VMWare support for usb is better than VirtualBox at the moment, ie supports USB3 and allows overriding USB3 to USB2. Only minor issue is that in order to use the scanner, I have to re-connect the USB port for the VM to recognise the device is connected.
PS: Thank you @CharlieRB and @Karan, for looking into this.
