Workaround on Plusteck OpticPro12000P Scanner?
- Thread starter PBXJay
- Start date
I don't have any specific info that can help, but I ran into this same issue awhile back with a different brand of scanner made by packard bell (yeah, I'm ashamed). Since they went out of business, there were no drivers for windows 2000 or xp, but someone suggested using a different brand's drivers, and they should work.
What I'm trying to say is... look around on google, and maybe someone knows what other scanner brand's drivers may work for your scanner. Otherwise.. time to buy another scanner, or install Win98 on there and dual-boot just so you can use your scanner, too.

I had the same scanner and I never did get it to work. With the cheap price of scanners these days, I finally decided my time was worth more than the 80 dollars. I assume yours was a parrellel port scanner and none of these want to work very good in XP
