I am having trouble downloading the driver for my CanonScan8600F. I have Windows 11. Can you guide me through the setup?

Thanks for posting!

While our Forum Community members are welcome to chime in, the CanonScan 8600F. has been retired. That means we do not offer support for the scanner or updated drivers. We recommend updating to a more modern scanner and reaching out to our Canon Upgrade Program specialist who will go over the best options for upgrading your printer. They can be reached at 866-443-8002.

Which is it? Trouble downloading a driver, or trouble installing it after downloading? Please describe your problem better.

Driver support for this scanner stopped at Windows 8.1. I have a Canoscan 8800F that installs and works perfectly with Windows 11, with the up-through 8.1 software. No trouble at all installing it.

Here is what you should be trying:
