HP Scanjet IICX

[Guest]

I have a Scanjet IICX that worked fine on 98 and ME. It is a SCSI board
scanner and comes with the HP400 (non plug and play) board. I cannot get XP
to recognize this board. Has anyone installed this board and scanner on XP
Pro and if so, andy suggestions to allow me to do the same. Thanks,

Have you tried visiting HP's Help & Support to see if there is a driver or
something for WindowsXP that you need to download from them?

Go to HP's web site and download their DeskScan software. You are using a
way too old version of it.

I had the HP ScanJet IIcx SCSI scanner connected to an Adaptec card and
running under Windows 2000 and later under Windows XP. If you are using
some cheapie scanner-supplied SCSI controller card, you'll probably need the
driver for that, too, as Windows may not have the driver for that
low-function card whose primary purpose is to just handle the scanner.

I understand an Adaptec PNP 2906 card will work so I guess that is my next
mover. Being cheap like a lot of others I was attemtping to use the HP400 non
PNP card supplied. The scanner is just good a unit to leave it for an USB
unit and none of them seem to have the quality or construction of the
scanjetII cx. Thanks for your response.

Just try downloading the newest Deskscan software first. I don't remember
if it include a driver for the cheapo minimum function SCSI card but it
might. When you install, one of the selections is whether you use the
included SCSI card or something else (so I'd pick something else since I
used an Adaptec AHA-2940UW). Deskscan is free so just see it it gets the
scanner working.

I kept the Scanjet IIcx for many years although there were scanner with much
higher resolution. It is a legal-sized scanner. However, over the last 5
years, I haven't needed to scan legal-sized documents much anymore and I can
use stitching with a smaller scanner. Eventually I got rid of the behemoth
Scanjet IIcx that occupied a third of my desktop and got one that will I can
put out of the way in a drawer.
