We now have a useless scanner (Epson 1200u) thanks to Vista being incompatible with it's software. We have no way to print pictures, thanks to Vista being incompatible with our HP printer/it's graphic software. Thanks to Vista we will now be forced to either purchase new perifs, waste a lot of time moving files from the XP machines in the back office or do without.

The last two computers for our office will be ordered from Dell and have XP installed.





You can either whine ... or you could try entering the name of your scanner into "Google"
It took 3 seconds to find this link.
Your scanner is in the list !

This is not FREE software. It's called VueScan. Also, you need to have had a pervious version to get it. I can't even get the website to accept the serial number on my Epson 1200u scanner. They want me to buy a serial number so I can then buy the drivers. Did you read the site? I may as well buy a new scanner. I did Google and found no drivers for this scanner.

Try an Epson forum.
I read in one of the first 10 google links a users got it working using XP drivers.

My research in this matter is finished, I don't/never have used an Epson anything.
I only use HP.

You seem to think I am under some obligation to you.
I am not.

I mostly responded at all because you seem like a little whiner.
