That's strange, GIMP only supports TWAIN (and the WIA interface 
you're seeing is a TWAIN-to-WIA bridge provided by Microsoft).

Which GIMP installer did you use - from
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/ (also linked from
http://www.gimp.org/), or Partha's? My installer will normally 
install a 32-bit TWAIN plug-in for GIMP (even on x64 Windows), 
because there are almost no 64-bit TWAIN drivers, and you 
should be able to use every TWAIN driver you have installed 
(both TWAIN drivers for my HP 5590 are shown, and a separate 
WIA stub).


I'm fairly sure I used Jernej's -- at any rate the digital 
signature is his...

I have just uninstalled all the Canon drivers and software, 
replaced them with the latest from their site, which are 
claimed to be suitable for W7x64, but no joy.

PaintShop Pro still shows both TWAIN and WIA, but The GIMP only 
shows WIA.  I have just noticed that the WIA offering shows an 
annotation "(32-32)" -- using the 32-bit SysWOW drivers maybe?

I'll uninstall Jernej's 32-bit and put in Partha's 64-bit, see 
how that goes.
