Need some more advice.
And please no "Linux" solutions. I have a very old scanner (20 years) which was supported up to Windows 2000. I'd like to use it on XP and Win 7 via the Parallel POrt (LPT1). I've set the ports to EPP and have downloaded a driver that works on a Win 2000 machine, but Win XP doesn't detect the scanner.
Any suggests as to how to use this on Win XP and while I want to also use it on Win 7, I figure if I can't get XP working, I've no chance with XP or higher.
Thank you,
