Hi Sandy,
I use Openbook 7 with a new scanner from Lexmark 1100 series. When I bought
the scanner, I wasn't sure if it would work with Open Book. After
installing the scanner, I had to tell Open Book that I was using the
original driver that came with the scanner. To my surprise it worked. I
haven't had any problem with it. I don't know if Kurzweil 1000 would work
with that scanner. I looked on the Kurzweil site and did not see my model
number list.

I thought perhaps some of you veteran scanners could advise me here. I
have a computer I bought a few months ago with Windows XP; I am running
Window-Eyes and Open Book, the latest version, whatever that is. The old
scanner I have is just not working. I want to buy a new scanner. Is there
one any of you would recommend? Is there such a thing as a scanner that
also is a printer? This may opening up a can of worms here, but I am
wondering if any of you have recently used scanning programs other than Open
Book and what your experience has been. I am, to say the least, not
pleased with Freedom Scientifics' tech support, and would like to get away
from that company. If you would prefer to write to me privately about this,
please do so at
