Canoscan LIDE 25 driver
Thanks for nothing, Canon.
There is no driver for my Canoscan LIDE 25 scanner for Windows 8 or Windows 10.
Funny thing is, I used to have a Canon video camera. When it broke, I took it to Canon HQ who told me that they wouldn't fix it because it was old. I guess I should have learned not to buy anything from Canon.
