Download problem with Epson scanner software from XP to Vista??

Question

I have a Epson perfection 1260 scanner...It's older..But works great..I just recently bought a New computer that has Vista...My scanner installation disc was only for XP...(Would not load it)...So I went to the Epson download page to install updated software for Vista that would run my scanner..Everything is hooked up correctly (Hardware) The control panel installed...But when I use it..I get pop ups that tell me the scanner is busy...Or not available...The computer knows the hardware is there...Does anyone know what is happening and what steps to correct??

Thanks!

Answer 1

I had the same problem with my LexMark scanner printer when i went from XP to Vista. I went to LeexMarks website and downloaded a driver finder and sure enough that took care of the problem.

You can allso go into your control panel and open your printer and make sure the right printer is selected as your default printer.

Good luck

Close all softwares that use the scanner. Try it out again. Remove the scanner and plug it in. Else roll back the driver
