Edited to add:

"VueScan works with the Canon D660U on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. If you're using Windows and haven't installed the Canon driver, you can instead install VueScan's driver by:

1. Make sure you've installed VueScan and that you've answered 'Yes' about installing drivers
2. Click the Start button in the lower left corner
3. Click 'Computer' or 'My Computer' with the right mouse button and choose 'Properties'
4. Click the 'Hardware' tab (not needed on Vista or 7) and then click 'Device Manager'
5. Click the scanner with the right mouse button and choose 'Properties'
6. Click the 'Driver' tab
7. Click 'Uninstall'
8. Reboot the computer

If Windows asks for a driver for the scanner, tell it to install it automatically or to look in c:\vuescan.
This should cause the driver for the scanner to be loaded properly.
You can use this scanner on Mac OS X and Linux without installing any other software."

There you go!
