Hai friend, i use HP 2400 scangette and it is working fine for me . i don't have any idea about the scanner you mentioned . ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Patterson To: openbook@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2006 1:30 AM Subject: [openbook] new scanners and Open Book I have an old HP Scanjet 2c scanner, which I am using in conjunction with Open Book 7.0. I am considering upgrading my scanner so I can use a USB connection instead of a SCSI controller. The problem is that the manufacturers have phased out most of the scanners supported by Freedom Scientific. Has anyone tried using the HP Scanjet 8270 or 5590 in conjunction with OpenBook? How about the Epson Perfection V100? The reason why I am doing this is because my scanner is no longer showing up in the control panel. In addition, I am getting messages in my event viewer stating that my SCSI controller is not responding within the time-out period. Thanks in advance for your advice.
