CanoScan LiDE 110 driver for Windows 11

The LiDE 110 came out in 2010, and Canon's site has no driver for Windows 11 - the last official package was released in 2016, for Windows 8 and 10. The scanner itself is usually fine: LiDE models have simple mechanics and take power straight from the USB cable, so there is little to break. That last driver normally installs on Windows 11 too - the steps below walk through it.

Why this happens

  • Canon stopped releasing LiDE 110 drivers after Windows 10, so a fresh Windows 11 has nothing to install on its own.
  • A Windows reinstall or a big update wiped the old driver, and the scanner stopped being detected.
  • The scanning app is missing: the driver makes Windows see the scanner, but scanning into a file is the job of an app.

Quick checks first

1Swap the USB cable and port

The LiDE 110 takes its power from the USB cable, so a worn cable alone can make it invisible. Plug it straight into the computer, not through a hub (a USB splitter).

2Look into Device Manager

Press Win+X and pick Device Manager - the list of every device Windows sees. The scanner may sit under “Imaging devices” with a warning icon, or under “Other devices” as unknown. Both mean the same thing: no driver.

If the scanner is still not detected, it needs its driver put back - the last one Canon released. The catalog page below leads to it on the official server.

Drivers most often behind this problem

Fixing it manually

Install the last released driver

  1. Open the CanoScan LiDE 110 page in our catalog - it lists three versions, the newest from 2016, with downloads pointing at the official server.
  2. Run the installer. If it refuses on Windows 11: Device Manager → right-click the scanner → Update driver → “Browse my computer for drivers”, and point it at the unpacked files.
  3. Reconnect the scanner and give Windows a few seconds to pick it up.

Check scanning with the Windows Scan app

  1. Open the built-in Windows Scan app (free in the Microsoft Store if it is not installed). If it scans, the driver works.
  2. For scanning with settings - resolution, file type - install Canon IJ Scan Utility, Canon's own scanning app. It is separate from the driver.

Know the exact device model?

Search the catalog by the model name - CanoScan LiDE 110 - or by the scanner's Hardware ID from Device Manager.

The model name is printed on the front of the scanner. In Device Manager it also carries a Hardware ID - the code a device reports about itself, which identifies it even when Windows shows it as unknown (right-click → Properties → Details → Hardware Ids).

Frequently asked questions

▸Canon says the model is not supported - is the scanner dead?

No. “Not supported” only means Canon will not release new drivers. The old driver keeps working, and the scanner keeps working with it.

▸Does the last driver work on 64-bit Windows?

Yes - the final package was released for 64-bit systems, which is what almost every modern PC runs.

▸Windows sees the scanner but IJ Scan Utility does not.

The utility is a separate app on top of the driver. Reinstall the utility itself; until then the built-in Windows Scan app covers basic scanning.
