Hi
The troubleshooting documentation that came with the printer suggests
updating the lpt.vxd file if problems are encountered. I would assume from
this that it uses this driver to access the scanner. From looking on the
web I can only find reference to lpt.vxd for Windows 95, is this because the
EPP driver works OK in later versions or is it because the driver is
implemented differently?
I don't own a copy of Windows 2000, which is the only version that does not
produce file not found errors, so I cannot copy the Windows 2000 version of
lpt.vxd to my wine setup.
If I download an from Microsoft an updated lpt.vxd for Windows 95 and copy it
into the system directory will wine use the driver?
Best Regards
Trev
