Brother Scanner @ XP2 failure

[jtsnow]

I have this cheap Brother MFC that has ethernet interface (model 3820cn).
It has software to manage its function called Paper Port. It quit working
right when SP2 was installed. They have it listed as a problem on their
website but no plan or expected solution.

I do a lot of scanning and before SP2 I could scan from the MFC right to a
folder I select and format on my PC by pusing a buttton on the MFC. All
that does not work any longer and I have to now scan into Paint for the
paper Port ap on the PC and then do a "save as" in .jpg format. It takes
about 10x as long now...very arduas.

Anyone know of a fix or better workaround?

thanks

Remove SP2. Go back to Windows XP SP1.
