They shoud know since they usually work with mickey mouse to include them on
the xp cd or their web site. I mean who can you believe if not the
manufacture of the equipment. The is a lot of not so old scanners, printers
and other hardware that will just not work with xp because drivers have not
be written and will never be for any not so old equipment. Accept and get
on with life and look for a newer version or just not upgrade. Most of this
information should be checked out for drivers for xp prior to upgrading.
You are not alone.
