Twain Problems on Win Server 2003
Hi,
I have just upgraded one of my PC's to Windows Server 2003 (origionaly 98). I had previously bought an Epson Perfection 660 for that Pc and it worked perfectly with win 98. But after upgrading to 2003 Server no Twain applications could detect the scanner. After struggeling for some time I switched on WIA (disabled by default), this allowed windows to detect it, but applications (such as Irfan View and my OCR applications) failed to detect it as a TWAIN device. The only application that can see it (and only by assigning it to the 'scan' event) is photoshop. Scanning in Photoshop is great but I also want to use my OCR applications which fail to detect any TWAIN devices. I have also tryed the scanner on XP and it again works perfectly. I also own a digital camera which i use on my XP machine, when I tryed to install this on 2003 Server i have the same problem. I hope someone here knows what i'm doing wronge (i don't). Thanks a lot.

Steven Larkin I am not an expert on Windows Server 2003. I am poking in the dark here. Maybe You need this download. I have seen via Google that the TWAIN interface for Server 2003 was removed. May not work! Ricoh USA - Software Downloads http://us.support.ricoh.com/html_rc/.../is330dcen.htm Epson Support, Downloads. Choose Scanner, Perfection 660, All. http://www.epson.co.uk/support/download/ No Windows Server 2003 listed, but maybe try Windows 2000 driver. Looks like a kludge anyway. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- |
