Windows BMP format type

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

XP does not support "piggybacking" parallel port devices. The only way you
could run this scanner is by removing the printer and connecting the printer
to a USB port, along with the second USB scanner, leaving the LPT scanner as
the only parallel port device.
