CanoScan LiDE 300 Unable to install driver and software on Windows 11

asav — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 14:06:11 GMT

So I am trying to install the software in order to use my brand new CanoScan LiDE 300. I do not have a place to insert the disk as this is a newer laptop so my only option is through the website. I am following all of the directions and have tried multiple things multiple times. Every time I try to download the full driver and software package from the official website, it tells me:

"This program is not supported by the computer."

I have no idea where to go from here. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I feel like I have tried everything. I have used more than one different browser to see if that helped, but I got the same message every time, which read:

"This printer cannot connect to the OS or browser running on your device.Please access this site from a device with a supported OS or browser.If you are using Windows, please access this site using one of the following browsers: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox."

I don't know why I am having these issues, what am I doing wrong? I have a new Lenovo laptop with Windows 11, everything is up to date. Please help!!

I will probably have to contact support because the link you sent me doesn't even give me the option to download, it just goes straight to telling me that the printer is unable to connect to the OS or browser running on my device, even though I have tried using all of the suggested browsers.
