Canon E4500 TR4600 TR4700 series drivers

Recommended Posts

The printer is the Canon PIXMA TR4660 and I am using Windows XP 64-bit.  On the Canon drivers download site, they do not have XP listed.  The drivers suit the E4500 TR4600 TR4700 series printers.  The lowest drivers listed are for Windows 7 64-bit, so I downloaded that for testing.  I used the .INF file method via the Hardware Update Wizard, and - amazingly - got all the drivers to install except the scanner drivers for this printer

These are the scanner drivers in the .INF folder.

SCN01.cab
SCN02.cab
SCN.CHECKSUM
tr4600s.cat
TR4600SC.INF

Inside the TR4600SC.INF file, these install parameters are listed:

; CANON INC. Scanner driver
;
; TR4600SC.INF -- Windows Setup File for the Canon TR4600 series
; Scanner driver
; Copyright (c) CANON INC. 2021

;........................................ WinXP64/Vista64 section

[TR4600Install_64.NT]
Include=sti.inf
Needs=STI.USBSection
SubClass=StillImage
DeviceType=1
DeviceSubType=0x1
DeviceData=TR4600DeviceData
AddReg=TR4600Addreg
CopyFiles=TR4600WiaFiles_64,TR4600ColorFiles.NT
ICMProfiles="sRGB Color Space Profile.icm"
; used for push button event
Capabilities=0x11
Events=TR4600PushButton.Events
DriverVer=11/24/2020,20.17.0.2

This means it still must install on XP 64-bit.

Can someone study this and find why the scanner drivers are not installing?  Maybe recommend earlier Canon scanner .INF files and .CAB files that could possibly work please?

//UPDATE//

To get the scanner to install, I found out you need the Microsoft WinUsb 2.0 driver files which includes winusb.dll, winusb.dll and some others.  The procedure is a bit daunting via the Windows Driver Kit, but the author of this site has made it a lot easier by repackaging the drivers:

Download the [WinUSB 2.0 for XP (64-bit, x86_64) file and extract with 7-Zip.  Run the update.exe file in the Update folder.
