Mustek 1200 cp windows 7

[mfn33]

Hello,Is there a windows 7 driver for mustek 1200 cp scanner

I dont think so... not supported since win 98. There is a way to use it using other operating sys but i am not familiar with the procedure.

As it is an old scanner, windows 7 should recognize it by default!
Try that!

Download the newest XP drivers from this german site:
http://www.mustek.de/eng_/html/treiber/scanner_scanmagic_usb.htm

You will need the SN ofyour scanner (it is on the scanner).

Get the one file instalation.

You will not be able to install the drivers but you can trick them to work.

The procedure is simple:

Do not plug in the scanner, start up the

Empty your systemroot\windows\temp folder

Srart the instalation and when it asks "Select Language" stop there. Then copy the all contents (files and folders) of Windows\Temp to another folder (e.g. systemroot\1)

Then plug in the scanner and windows should be able to find the drivers there if not guide it to that location and let it install Mustek Twain drivers.

Enjoy your scanner.

I might have to try this when i upgrade to w7. I have a scsi model of the same scanner in the garage not being used. Thanks saran008 I knew you could get it to work under some versions of Linux but I use win.
