Well the driver installed fine, as did the Canoscan Toolbox but the computer
can not communicate with the scanner. Has anyone gotten this working in RC1? Thanks! Shrink |

Same problem here with 5728. Tried all the tricks. No joy. Will have to wait
for Canon to do something about it. ppo "Shrink" wrote in message ... Well the driver installed fine, as did the Canoscan Toolbox but the computer can not communicate with the scanner. Has anyone gotten this working in RC1? Thanks! Shrink |

Thanks for the reply - this is my first Canon product (sold an older HP
scanner figuring that it would be a cold day in hell before HP released Vista drivers for older their older products). What's your experience been with Canon on driver updates? I hope I didn't pull an "out of the frying pan and into the fire" when it comes to this purchase g. Shrink "JSmith" wrote in message ... Same problem here with 5728. Tried all the tricks. No joy.

In as far as driver updates go, Canon is no different than others: they will
wait untill they get sufficient pressure to produce a new driver (particularly for a new OS, that process is slooooow). However, I wouldn't worry too much about it because the 4200f is a fine scanner. I use it to scan old pictures and it does a fine job. ppo "Shrink" wrote in message ...

Ermmm... I have a very bad experience of waiting for Canon drivers. They
plain WILL NOT make linux drivers available. Wron thread, I know, but don't hold your breath...
