It looks like the computers have a hard time communicating with the scanner it will be advisable to download all the current firmware available, her is the link:

You can find all drivers, software, and manuals HERE.

I would uninstall what's on the PC for the scanner first, reboot. then start again. Leave the USB cable unplugged untill the software is installed.

Hope that fixes Ya...

SOURCE: TWAIN ERROR AND CANOSCAN LIDE 20 SCANNER PROBLEMS

I had the same problem more than 1 year ago and then found the solution (at least in my case that is) somewhere on the internet. Since I have the same problem with a new computer I searched the internet once more, but did not find the solution. However, last time I was so clever to write down the solution on the disk of my old laptop. The laptop is gone, but not the disk, so I could access it by putting it in an USB enclosure and was able to find the solution once again. Here it is:

c:WINDOWS wain_32CNQLxx (xx is the number of your scanner) should be included in the PATH environmental variable.

Now I know where to look for I found the link where I found it first:

Select your operating system and download the driver "TWAIN Driver - LiDE 20 Scanner Driver Ver. 7.0.3.1a_xp" and then download the software "Canoscan toolbox" ...here is the link:

I am trying to install canon flat bed scaner on my laptop windows 7 and I am unbale to locate the drivers for windows 7 (twain) , I intall aarcsoft photo base and it can't locate twain or drivers for the...

Sorry, but the compatibility sites say this is not compatible with Vista or Win 7.

They word is that Canon has no intentions of writing a win 7 driver for this unit.

You should probably backstep to Win XP so you can use this scanner.

These manufacturers are letting Microsoft make the hardware obsolete due to lack of drivers... a conspiracy???,

TWAIN message

Hello,

The Twain error message sounds like a Windows error... I wonder if the software you are trying to use is for Windows, and not MAC.
