Canon 8000F Flat-bed and Photo Scanner will not work under a Win 7
64-bit environment.
Canon have never issued the drivers for it, neither has anyone else,
including Microsoft,
not even generic drivers. 32-bit drivers are available to allow use
of the flat-bed, but
nothing is offered for the photo scanning side of it. And there is no
support at all for
Win 10.

Is this two scanners in one - a normal A4 (or legal) flatbed, and a
smaller one for prints? Or is the "photo scanning" aspect just a way of
using the main scanner but at a higher resolution (or something, though
if only software that can presumably be done afterwards)?

VueScan says it works with 8000F Canon.
http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/canon_8000f.html.
But... It's $40 for the home version. Almost as much as a new scanner.
I use v.9.4.32 with my old XP3 HP 7400c on W7/64.

This is one of the many things that makes me cross: there obviously _is_
some sort of standard, or semi-standard, scanner interface that _does_
work under both OSs, but either the scanner manufacturers, or Microsoft,
or both, are very loth to "support" (release details of) it. So the
small company behind VueScan (IIRR, they're .au or .nz) have to work
hard at digging it out, for each model of scanner they support. (I don't
begrudge them the cost of their software; I just wish it wasn't, as Paul
in Houston says, about the same as a replacement scanner for all but the
most demanding applications. But they've got to make a living.)
