I have a Canoscan 4400F in excellent condition with CD driver Version MCD 2.2. My new PC has no CD ROM but only USB Ports. 

As a pensioner I cant' afford to replace my scanner and rely heavily on it. Please help.

    Canon stopped supporting that scanner after Windows 8.1, so they didn't publish a driver for Windows 10.

    That doesn't necessarily mean that your scanner won't work on Windows 10. It only means that Canon won't claim that it does, because Canon hasn't tested your scanner on Windows 10, hasn't updated its driver to keep up with all the new technology in Windows 10, and has no official answers if it doesn't work.

    To install the Windows 8.1 driver you won't need a CD or a USB flash drive. Simply download the driver from Canon's website.

    Hi, here's Canon's download page for that scanner.

    Sorry to see that you’ve marked my answer as not helpful, if you have not tried to download any of the drivers then you can’t say it didn’t solve you question.

    This link I gave you is correct for your make & model of scanner, if there’s no Windows 10 drivers then please try the Windows 8/8.1 drivers.

    Hi Virginia.

    I managed the download but could not get the default settings right, but then I stumbled across a Windows Scanner App. This helped me do default settings and the scanner now works very well.

    Thanks again for your assistance. Much appreciated. God bless.
