Making Acer Parallel port scanners work in Windows XP Tuesday, November 18, 2003 at 12:52 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dale Wright (1 messages posted) Instructions for installing Acer parallel port scanners in Windows XP: (might also work for other brands) For this driver to work in XP you must install the MiraScan software then install the scanner manually. Step 1. Download MiraScan v3.424 from the web : Mirascan_v3424p.exe Step 2. Unzip and install the Mira Scan driver that you just downloaded. After installation , system will suggest you to add a scanner Step 3. Then, add an imaging device Step 4. Then the Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard comes up. Click Next at the bottom. Step 5. Then on Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard screen it will ask you which scanner or camera do you want to install? You want to go where it says "Manufacturer" and then click on EPPSCANNER and where it says "Model" it should say color flatbedscanner. Make sure it is highlighted, also. Click on Next at the bottom.
