problem installing scanner
My os is sp home. Tried to install a canon LiDE 20 and got
a message to insert service pack 1 cd. Does this mean that I will have a problem installing any scanner? If so how can I get a copy of the cd being requested?

problem installing scanner
It appears that canon does not make a driver for XP for this scanner.
However it does have one for windows 2000 which sometimes work. I suggest you check it out at www.canon.com This has been a common practice with scanner manufactures, you see it is up to them to write the drivers for the device. If they choose not to do they figure you will have to buy a new device. Maybe the device is just to old to write drivers for it. Either way you are stuck buying a new device.

Xref: kermit microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardwa206111
When it looks for the SP1 CD you can try pointing it at the ServicePackFile folder in c:\windows. Ignore the poster that says Canon don't make an XP driver for this scanner.... yes, they do, if you've lost the Canon CD, it's at their website http://www.usa.canon.com/html/conCpr...2020&item=6634 Cari www.coribright.com "Ray M" wrote in message ...
