How Can I Use My Ion Slides2Pc Slide Scanner With My Windows 11 Pc?

[ricardovilleda]

I've got a Slides2PC slide scanner I haven't used in years but now I've got a need to scan some negatives and slides and I could use your help.  I can't find TWAIN drivers on the web.  The product is discontinued.  Does anyone have Windows 11 (64Bit) compatible files?

I can't help but have you seen this?  Ion is offering support but I don't know how helpful they will be, possibly try to sell you a newer model at a discount.  Doesn't cost anything to try, though

This is a common problem with older devices, where the manufacturer is under no obligation to offer drivers for later Windows operating systems.

 

I had a very nice Canon Lide flat-bed scanner that was USB powered, but no drivers were available after Windows XP, so I had to throw it away.

 

I now have a multifunctional printer that has scan capability, but eventually the same will happen to that – built in obsolescence.
