Most appreciated.ītw, just love the name Mr Ed. Thanks to both of you for your help / suggestions. If all else fails, I can fire up the Win 7 machine, scan the document(s) and then use 'Sneakernet' to put the documents on the Win 10 machine. I have a Win 7 desktop which is sitting under the Win 10 desktop (both mini-towers) and the scanner can be plugged into either. I've now figured out a procedure to work around the proble (issue seems to surface when scanner goes to sleep). They both originally had drivers for Windows 98 and Windows XP.See above. I tried it on a couple old scanners and it seemed to work fine.īTW, these scanners are probably older than your scanner. I went to Hamrick's website and downloaded VueScan 9.7.70 and installed it. I am surprised that it did not offer an update because it had always done that before. The Windows 10 machine is running ver 9.7.70. The workaround is a bit of a pain but liveable with. Seems that there is some sore of in-built timeout in the scanner and Windows 10 doesn't wake the scanner properly.

Once you've set up the VM and installed e.g. driver tools such as Snappy Driver (free) may help.
To get the drivers - in your case there are sites such as Windows XP or whatever is appropriate running under VirtualBox (free) for example.ī. The other way to get old scanners etc to work (I have one bought years ago 2nd hand from Ebay) isĪ. Hi, your scanner seems to have been released around the time of Win XP/98.
