I could use some help here. I have an old Epson Perfection V300 scanner that I need to use, but Windows 10 isn't recognizing it. I can't seem to find any drivers for it. Is there any way I can still get this scanner up and running?

If you aren't looking for high-end photo quality, just grab Microsoft Lens on your phone. It scans the document and sharpens everything up automatically. For basic document scanning, it gets the job done fine enough.

It's mostly just text—documents, tax forms, medical records, and things like that. Receipts too...
I didn't even think to try that. Thanks.

I've got a scanner that actually works, so for stuff like this I usually just stick to an app. It's easier and faster.

Honestly, just grab VueScan; it'll make that scanner work perfectly fine on Windows 10.

I’m using an HP Envy 5000. On Windows 10, the printer driver seems to work fine, but the scanner is a different story. I reached out to Canon, and they basically told me they're sorry, but it just doesn't support Windows 10. It worked perfectly on Windows 8.1, though.
