re: Scanner driver disappears after installing in XP HE Monday, January 13, 2003 at 10:29 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Tom Swanson (5553 messages posted) You may have done this already; disconnect the printer and start your computer. That should force it to find the scanner. If so connect the printer up again, or go to a switching device. Have you checked to be sure all your cables are standard for bidirectional communication. Old printer cables were a different standard. On Monday, January 13, 2003 at 7:54 pm, Niistoo wrote: >I have a Dexxa 4800 scanner and am running XP Home Edition.
