re: Making Acer Parallel port scanners work in Windows XP with the help of parallel port converted to usb Friday, March 7, 2008 at 9:27 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by faiq (1 messages posted) dear sir, we have installed a windows xp sp2 in our pc and labtop but since the new pc came we had to transfer the scanner with our pc but our pc does not contain a parallel port outlet so we some how found a way to convert the parallel port outlet to a USB outlet it worked but the internal software installed in the scanner does not pick up with the computer although it picks up the USb device attached to scanner and we also installed the necessary software for it but still the pc does not pick up the scanner although it is fully connected. the model of our scanner is acer flatbed scanner scan prisa 640P. can you tell me any way through which i can make the scanner work with the usb. it worked perfectly with the labtop because it contained a pallel port outlet. so pl help me i am really despirate to get the thing done.
