I don't know if this will work with your machine, but give this a shot. I just got my IBM Scanner to work after a year of futzing around and searching the world and using expertise. Found a file called rscan95106.exe for a different scanner and gave it a shot. Of course, it didn't work. However, in the readme.txt file, there was a little one line blurb that said, "set the BIOS for the LPT port you are using to EPP only mode." Aaaaaaargh! Mine had been set to EPP & ECP mode option. Changed it to EPP only and the thing magically started working. Try setting your LPT port to EPP only and see if that helps...
