im building a computer and including a s/h scanner but its not working. its an old parallel scanner and originally came with an interface card which i dont know what it is (but maybe just an extra parallel port which i dont need). it says 'scanner link fail' every time, with and without the card plugged in. it always worked with a friends pc but never with mine so i dont think theres anythin wrong with it. ne ideas?? nethin? btw it doesnt use a 25-36 pin printer cable, it has a 25 pin male to 25 pin female connector but it IS a parallel scanner. its a Umax 1220P and ive just downloaded the newest drivers for XP. thanks loads. slystav@hotmail.com
