Happy New Year. I too use the Umax Astra 610 P scanner. Windows XP Pro
supports it without outside drivers. Go To Control Panel > scanners and
cameras > find the manufacturer > find your model > close out the screen.
Windows XP would "forget" that the scanner was installed, I would have to
reinstall it. I found out that if you left the scanner on all the time, the
scanner and printer work perfectly.
Hope this helps.
