I finally managed to solve the problem. First I stopped the Avast! anti-virus and Zone Alarm. My first attempts to install the drivers was with the software from the CD. It always stopped at the page where it says to connect the Pixma to the computer via USB and to the power source. Although I...

Clearly, the 5p is an older scanner, but a good one. So recently I decided to hook it up to XP Pro. With help from the net, I found that installing the driver file sj166en.exe (the official driver for it) would not work by itself. However, when also installing one of the PrecisionScan Pro drivers...

Recently, I have had to reinstall XP & all apps because of C drive failure. Now I find when I open ScanGear Toolbox, which then opens the window ScanGear CS-U to do the actual scanning, this window is half my screen size.

I am not very well atm and cannot recall if I've asked this but how do I get rid of blue tints to white areas? I noticed it is more prevalent if I select photograph instead of document, but any areas of shadow, say a tiny crease in the paper, are showing as a faint blue -- Paul (Wake up the dawn...

Hi Everyone, I run Win2K SP4 and have trouble with scanner drivers. I just bought a Canon Pixma MP170 multi function machine. It has a driver for the printer: mp170pr.inf and one for the scanner: mp170sc.inf. The problem is that Win2000 does not recognize either one. Instead it comes

Hi, Im looking for a flatbed scanner specifically for scanning in and OCRing books. I already have OCR software.

All I need to do is download the Install driver. I've been stuck on this project for the last 7 or 8 hours straight, and I have...

I recently purchased a Memorex 48U scanner. However, XP doesn't recognize any new device when I plug the scanner into the USB port on any of my computers. I preloaded the drivers on one system, and I didn't load anything on the second system. The result is the same each time, the computer does...

Classic story of a failed hardrive and a lost cd (apparently they make very good child toys from the amount of scratches on it). I cant seem to find a link to get the mart panel software. anyone have one????

I know there is the Mustek ScanExpress A3. Reputed to be OK but slow. One of the reviews said that there is another low-priced scanner that is reputed to be faster, in the $250 range. Unfortunately they did not mention a name. Any ideas?
