CanoScan LiDE 25 Windows 11 Driver Availability

[Susan19]

It seems there is no driver available to connect my Canon scanner (CanoScan LiDE 25) with Windows 11.

Would the driver for Windows 7 maybe work?

Is there a way to get around this problem? It is a very nice scanner.

Hi there!

The CanoScan LiDE 25 is an older model which we have retired. While that means that Canon USA no longer provides drivers or stocks replacement parts for it, your friends here in the Canon Community are welcome to offer their suggestions!

You can also speak with a Canon Upgrade Program specialist to help you score a modern replacement that would meet your current needs at a discount. You can reach them weekdays and Saturdays at 1-866-443-8002.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, Samatha! Does the upgrade program apply in South Africa as well?

It works with ABBYY FineReader scanner software!

I have the CanoScan LiDE 25 that I purchased in India and I faced the same situation outlined by Susan19. However, ecflan is correct. The ABBYY FineReader scanner software comes with the needed drivers for Windows 11. This saved me from discarding the printer. Thanks for the suggestion, ecflan!

Try the Windows 7 driver. Either it installs and works or it doesn't.  Lots of 7 drivers work in 11.
