Hi All
Does anyone know where i might get the software for a Mustek scanner
,model,600 III EP Plus.
I have writen to the company 2 times and doen't eaven get a reply.
I know it is old scanner,but i want to give it to a grand child , but i lost
the CD someware along the line.
I haven't used the scanner for a number of years.
Just thought someone might have a answer here.
Thanks

Have you tried to search for it with Google?

If the scanner is old and is using a parallel port connection, you may have
problems with XP. XP does not like to have parallel port devices other than
printers. Also, there may not be XP drivers.

Scanners have come way down in price nowadays.

I was here and downloaded this driver and installed it. Hooked up the
scanner but nothing showed up in my programs.Didn't know the scanner or
driver was installed.
If we get this going it is going to run under windows 2000.
Kinda looks like i may as well trash it.
thanks guys

It's a TWAIN driver.

That means when you open a graphics or other program that is Twain compliant you'll be able
to select that device and scan from it.

Examples of Twain compliant software; Adobe PhotoShop, Paint Shop Pro, MS PhotoEditor, Word
and PowerPoint, etc..

I was in Staples today and they sell a cable that is parallel at
the scanner end and USB at the computer end. I have no idea how
well it works, but it's being sold for this situation.
