Drivers For Canoscan 8400f Flatbed Scanner For Windows 8.1

I have been informed by Canon thatt they do not have nor intend to develop drivers for this scanner to run on Windows 8.1. Are there any other driver developers that might have developed or intend to develop such drivers? It seems a shame to have to scrap a perfectly good scanner because there is no driver available for it Please advise. Thank you Piet

Unfortunately if Canon doesn't make Windows 8 drivers for it then it's not going to work. The scanner is just too old to continue supporting it.
