Cool forum--sure to spend alot of time here.
The above scanner has forever given me troubles installing under w2k/xp (I have a 2boot box & w2k OR xp on another).I have even read the instructions AND followed them for instal with the latest from HP (sj648 & sj647). EEP mode is what's called for, but I have Normal/bi & ECP also. I have tried installing the drivers 1st then the device and vice-versa. There is nothing on the pass-thru port. I have tried screaming at it. I have bought it flowers. Eventually I get it to work and then it is fine until I reload a win flavor (I can't stand a system that is running perfectly, so I tinker until it is (*^(%&'ed up beyond repair) which is OFTEN.
In a nutshell, when I execute the scanning app it reports "scanner not found" even though it is listed under imaging devices/hardware mngr. Anybody got a nugget? (besides letting the moth's out of my wallet and buying a new one?) -rw
 
Welcome to the forums... unfortunately if the scanner is not on the hcl list from M$ or the manufacturer has not updated any drivers for it, it will most likely not work. I had similar problem with a scanner someone gabe to me. No new drivers and not on the list. Checked out all the info i cold find on the thing but no one was able to get it to work w/ 2k or XP Lucky for me the scanner was given to me so I didnt have to shell out a dime. I fear your case might be the same.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
