Low-end scanner that works well for WinXP Home Edition
Been trying to get a low-end scanner to work well with WinXP Home Edition.
Tech support couldn't get the HPScanjet 3970 to work with their HP Pavilion Desktop running winXPHomeEdition. Visioneer didn't work. I hear that some Epson scanners work well .... others are problems with XP. What suggestions do you have about a low-end scanner that will connect simply with WinXP Home Edition .... i don't need lots of features or anything fancy! Thank you. |

Just about any scanner made today should work well with XP. I personally have never spent more than $39 for a scanner. The one I'm using now is a Mustek Bearpaw 1200CU that I purchased new at a local discount store (Big Lots) for $29. Has all the features my buddy got with his $250 HP, and scans BEAUTIFULLY. §kullywag©- |

It worked fine in XP until I reinstalled the OS, and now it scans perfectly using it's own scanning software, but none of my image editing software recognizes it anymore. No problem, really, because I batch scan anyway whatever little I scan anymore. Wendy |

Wendy You might try the "Windows XP patch" for your scanner available at UMAX's site: http://www.umax.com/download/index.jsp §kullywag©- |
