Anyone got Canon N124OU working with Windows7?

I'm really annoyed that there are no Windows 7 Drivers for my Canon N124OU. It's not that old, works perfectly, is all I need and it a landfill candidate just because Canon haven't bothered to update their driver.

Has anyone found a way to get this scanner working with Windows 7?

My best try it is to boot into Ubuntu and use Simple Scan. (Note: Windows 7 doesn't have a driver which will work, but a live boot from a USB key using a free operating system and hey presto! Are you watching Canon and Microsoft?)
