Scanner no longer works with vista
Hi,
My pc blew up the other day and i went out and got a new one with vista home premium 32 bit on it. most of the other things work fine at the moment. I am having severe problems with my Epson perfection 2480 photo scanner. All drivers are installed and up to date. However, when i come to use the thing my pc cant communicate with scanner. can anyone help and is there any form of patches etc for this. I have tried everything that is suggested and last resort was vista upgrade manager which told me my device will not work in windows vista. It's only two yrs old and i cant afford a new scanner. can anyone help me out please? -- Life''s too short to be dull so keep smiling!

Vista drivers for your product can be found at http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/s...atform=Windows Unplug your scanner, clear out any old drivers for it. Reboot. Download and install correct drivers from link above, connect your scanner and Vista should find the drivers and configure your scanner correctly. Failing that I'm unsure of the solution.

I had the same problem with my HP sacnner. I checked the HP website and HP
has no drivers for it in Vista. I wrote to them about it and did not even receive a response. I suppose they would prefer to sell new scanners rather than supporting my existing scanner (HP scanjet 3400c). I plugged the thing back into my old system with Windows Me!

Trudy's scanner is an Epson and 2 years old. Your scanner is an HP and
could be up to 12 years old since it was designed for Windows 95. I see no correlation between the two problems. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "JoelwithWindowsVista" wrote in message ...

Scanner no longer works with vista
I was venting my frustration at not being able to use a perfectly functional
piece of office equipment with Windows Vista. Is there a technical reason that HP cannot come up with a driver for it? Trudy went to dowload a new driver from Epson for her scanner and found one. I tried to download a driver for my HP scanner and there wasn't one. "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: Trudy's scanner is an Epson and 2 years old.

Money is the answer here. It's such an old unit that HP does not feel it
worth their while to invest further development in it. They would rather you purchase something newer. I'm afraid that's the manufacturer's bottom line. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "JoelwithWindowsVista" wrote in message ...

You need to get the correct drivers from the manufacturer's website.

Scanner no longer works with vista
I'm using my HP SJ5P scsi connected scanner with VISTA, as I did with
W2K and XP, by installing HP's old-time Deskscan 2.9 software that includes TWAIN for communication. Works perfectly. Download it from HP; install it using Compatibility Mode set to XP with SP2 and check Run as Administrator (ask if you need help on this) and it promptly found the scanner. It includes a very nice Copier Utility that combines the scanner and your printers into a first class document copying utility. You can download the Deskscan 2.9 software from this HP SJ5P XP Software webpage: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList? os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=58976&lang=en I can't guarantee that it will work with the SJ3400c but it is worth trying IMO. Back in the days when I was on the Team HP on Compuserve we often recommended the Deskscan 2.9 instead of the Precisionscan software that was being delivered with scanners then. I see your SJ3400C uses Precisionscan. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
