Canon IS-12 scanner cartridge

Hello,
I have a Canon BJC-85 printer. I have the IS-12 scanner cartridge that
allows you to scan and copy documents. This worked fine with XP. With vista
it does not work. I have tried running the Canon ISScan software in Legacy
mode. I have also tried using the Twain drivers through other scanning
software. I can not get it to work. The Canon site simply says that no
drivers are being released for the scanner on Windows Vista. Is there a way
to modify the drivers? How? What can I do to get the scanner working? Please
help.

No, you cannot modify the drivers. If Canon is not supporting your printer
in Vista then you are pretty much out of luck. Sorry.

I have been tooling around with the same problem I got the driver to work in
WIN98 computability mode

Hello,

I have the exact same situation. Have you found a fix?

The BJC-85 printer booted up fine and works fine. I have the Vista Home Premium 64-bit operating system on an HP dv2988nr Notebook PC.

The IS-12 is such a great portable color scanner I hate to give it up. I have scanned thousands of documents with it on my BJC-85 printer for 8 years now.

I have the original IS-12 disk and get a screen saying it installed completely. However, Vista does not recognize it and the Vista scanner installation wizard won't add it.

Hello,
I'm having the same problem getting my new Windows Vista Home Premium-64 bit operating system to recognize my Canon IS-12 Color Scanner Cartridge. How do you do that " Win 98 compatibility mode fix you mentioned"?

It's probably not going to work with 64 bit Vista. It should work just fine
with 32 bit. The Twain Group does not support 64 bit (The Twain Group is
completely separate organization from Microsoft).
