257802 2004-08-03 03:24:00 hi guys

for the last couple of years, i been using this scanner.. because i just use it as basic use..

anyhow when i was first brought it couple of years ago, the first instance, the USB is doesn't recognize by the computer. but it is working fine with the parallel port, so therefore i just work along with parallel port....

i have use the software from the HP website already and i am currently using Windows XP....

any suggestion what happen???

thanks for the help

A quick look at Google using "scanjet 5200c XP" shows that there are a number of unhappy people who have tried very hard to make the scanner work with XP.

I assume you have tried it on a USB port with the new driver. If that doesn't work, it might be cheapest to get a scanner guaranteed to work with XP.
