re: PCI simple communication controller Friday, December 12, 2003 at 4:16 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bob (2 messages posted) I don't have the CD, I got the software from the HP site.

I did install the scanner on my Toshiba laptop using the HP software and the parallel cable with no problem, but I can't install it on the desktop machine using the same software.
