canon scanners in windows 10
MAMartynFinch asked on October 16, 2015See post history
I seem to be having great dificulty with Canon Scanners since my upgrade to Windows 10 (from win8.1)
I have a canoscan Lide 210, which just wont work so i bought a new one a canoscan Lide 220.
All i keep getting is the following"
“Cannot communicate with Scanner for these reasons:
- Scanner is turned off.
- USB cable is disconnected
Please check and try again
Scanner driver will be closed.
Code:2,156,177”
PLUS I now have the same message with - "Code:2,156,55
And Code 2,156,12"
Despite contact with Canon running over several days and repeating the same things over and over, they finally gave up and suggested i contact microsoft, who were no more help than canon.
does anybody have any ideas on how to get this scanner working?

hello there,
In your method 1.
When i press the windows key + x all i get is the mini menu, the same that i get when pressing the right hand key on my mouse with cursor on the bottom left windows icon.
However when i got to Troubleshoot Hardware and sound, another route, there was no sign of
"troubleshoot scanner" only "configure a device, use a printer, troubleshoot audio recording, or troubleshoot audio playback"
