Hi all, I was using my scanner [Epson Perfection640] several weeks ago with
no problems. Since then I'm unable to use my Epson printer [which worked
fine as well] using the serial/parallel cable however works fine on the USB
cabling, so I suspect its the s/p cable.
Now my scanner runs on USB connection. I've removed/installed but W-XP Pro
doesn't see it. I use another USB port and it works fine. The "faulty" USB
port works fine if I connect another USB device [eg mouse]. The strange
thing is that when I use the USB port that 'sees' the scanner it doesn't see
it as EPSON it sees it as "empty" that is the title when you display
scanners/camera's attached.
Any ideas/advice? TIA
