Kind regards Liz

This is an obsolete scanner that was not supported in Vista. If it was never supported in Vista I cannot see Canon supplying a driver for this scanner in Windows 7. Sadly you are out of luck with this scanner. You may find a work around that would allow you to operate the scanner from the scanner itself, but you are more than likely never going to find a driver that will allow full function. The Windows Compatibility website lists this scanner as non-compatible. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=Canon%20CanoScan%20N1220U%20Scanner&v=Canon&uid=&pf=0&pi=6&c=Printers%20%26%20Scanners&sc=Scanners&os=32-bit I did find this driver that say's it is Windows 7 driver but I make no guarantee as to if this will work or not. http://www.bioticaindia.com/canoscan-n1220u.html Save the file and scan with our anti-virus and anti-spyware software before installing to be sure this file is clean.

You are right . The Vista drivers are not available, however the australian download for an XP driver works for some people. I would advise you to go to this site
http://www.canon.com.au/products/scanners/scanners_low_medium_volume/canoscanN1220U_drivers.aspx

And do a clean download of the driver for XP and follow all instructions.

How to do a clean download?
Uninstall the current software
Turn off the machine and unplug it
Turn off all your running programs including your virus control
(look in the lower right corner and click on each little icon there and turn off everything you can)
Now download the driver and SAVE it to your desktop
Click on it to install and follow the directions carefully. When it is finished, if it has not told you to reconnect your printer, do so now.
Restart your computer.

Good Luck. Please let me know if this works and rate my solution. Thank You.

Just use the program listed on the following site for the n1220u. I've tested it out myself and it does work.
