Hi Franklink -

The only place you're going to find a newer driver for your scanner is
Epson's website.

Have a look here:

(links to Epson.com driver page for your scanner)

Check the Help | About link on your current scanner driver to determine if
the latest available download is newer than the driver you are already
running.

| I run WinXP with SP1. When I do some scanning, the Epson TWAIN
| driver (which came with my Epson Perfection 1250 scanner) pops up.

| ... OR ... are TWAIN drivers usually highly specific to their
| hardware? (In the same way that the driver for something like a
| printer is usually unique for that printer.

| I kind of get the feeling that the TWIN driver sits "behind" the
| hardware driver for the scanner so I kind of hope that allows the
| TWAIN driver to be changed.
