However, the most recent driver I see for the Canon 8800F is for Win 8.1: http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/canon_8800f.html I suspect that this may be yet another case where Win10 users in need of drivers for particular hardware have to sit on their hands and hope. -- Best regards, Neil |

Vuescan uses and AFAIK needs the drivers for the hardware. It tweaks the output better than the bundled scanning software. For some scanners Vuescan uses its own driver set. The link I provided indicates that it will do so *if the user hasn't installed factory drivers for Win8.1*, which is a welcome shift from Hamrick's recent trend of only using factory drivers. My thoughts are that if the OP's Win8.1 factory drivers fail in Win10, Hamrick's might also fail. -- Best regards, Neil |
