Copied from an old blog on this same issue circa 2004: I hope this helps.

You may be out of luck. Agfa stopped its desktop scanner and digital camera business in September of 2001, which is the most likely reason why you aren't getting an answer to your e-mail. However, this site may have a workable beta driver:

<A HREF="http://www.windowsxp-drivers.com/drivers/50/50310.htm" target="_new">WindowsXP-Drivers.com</A>

The password and user name for DriverGuide.com is:

User: drivers
Pass: all

As for the software, you may be forced to try something else in combination with the scanner. Agfa has made it clear that the latest versions of the software (FotoLook 3.6) does not support parallel port scanners. And neither will ScanWise 2.0 and the included driver.

Take note that some users found problems using the scanner unless the parallel port was set to standard in the BIOS, instead of ECP, when running Win2K. The same thing may apply to WinXP.

Personally, if I was in your shoes, and couldn't afford a new scanner ... <i>and</i> managed to get the scanner recognized in WinXP, I'd be looking for better software for scanning; something like <A HREF="http://www.hamrick.com/" target="_new">VueScan</A> or <A HREF="http://www.silverfast.com/highlights/en.html" target="_new">Silverfast</A>, if you can't manage to appropriate a recent copy of Photoshop, or other graphics software near that caliber.
