I have downloaded the driver and Vuescan trial and it all works on my Canon
LiDE30. However, for the amount & quality of scanning I'm ever likely to
do, I wonder if I'd be better off spending the registration fee on a scanner
with Vista support from the manufacturer. Is it possible to make the driver
work with the built-in Windows Fax & Scan programme, or get the Canon
software to work with the driver?

When I installed the driver my scanner appeared in the "Scanners and
Cameras" list. But if I ask to start a new scan in the Fax & Scan programme
it says there is no scanner connected. Similarly if I try to use the
CanoScan Toolbox there are no scanners to pick from the drop down menu in
that.

Thanks.
