In order to further the effort of scanning and preserving ALL of the
things, I picked up a Canon Microfilm Scanner 300 for $cheap. It has
a SCSI interface and doesn't work with anything past Windows XP, but
that's not a problem. What is a problem is that Canon's link to the
XP driver is a big 4 0 4:
https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/scanners/…
By any chance, does someone out there have this driver? The filename
in question is "300350DRIT_V11.exe". You can google that name and end
up either back at Canon's site or in Malware Hell ("just download this
Chrome plugin to get your driver!").
Note that this is not the Canon Microfilm Scanner 300-II, which is a
USB device and uses a different driver.
Thanks for any leads...

Any chance it might work under SANE on a linux or BSD box?

How about http://downloads.canon.com/cpr/software/scanners/300350INF.exe ?

That's a self-extracting ZIP file. You can rename it to
300350DRIT_V11.zip and extract the files that way,

I did that! I got no response, not even a 404. I even still have the

That's it! I didn't think to substitute the filename I was after into
the URL for the other models' drivers. Looks like a linking mistake
on Canon's part. I believe I have two versions of the correct driver
now. Thank you Glen!
Re: Linux and Sane, that's a great question as well. I had success
with xsane with some older scanners that were otherwise long out of
support. I'll check it out.
Thanks all

That is the package for the MF300-II, the USB one. However! I was
able to find the regular 300 on that site as well. The Euro site has
"mux____.zip" files rather than the executable driver, but the one
there looks correct and also turned out to be a little newer (v1.2 vs
v1.1). Thanks for the lead!
