Why I cannot find a lost driver for free? opticpro 4830p for XP

The OpticPro A3I is not Windows 7 compatible. (It wasn't compatible with Windows XP and they did not add support for the newer OS.) The OpticPro A320 and A360 are compatible with Windows 7. Support for the newest OpticPro A3 models is available here: http://plustek.com/usa/products/opticpro-a3-series/ .

If you have one of the other models in the series, please let me know. I suspect the OptiPro A3-U will be best under Windows XP in a dual boot, stand-alone or virtual computer.

You can run an XP virtual computer for free with Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate. Download and install Microsoft's Virtual PC and XP mode. Then install the scanner to the XP mode as if you are using a normal XP computer. The other options require a licensed version of XP. Virtual computers have one issue; they can not share files with the main computer directly. You will need to save files to external media (CD or flash drive) to transfer them.

I hope this helps.

download from here.

I found this link on C-Net

It looks like the driver only works on Win 98. You can see there were some threads indicating that the Driver didn't work for Win 2000.

Temjob6days,
You should find your driver here: http://scanner.free-driver-download.com/Plustek/14330/Plustek-OpticPro-PT12-Scanner-Driver-Windows-9x-ME-NT-2000-XP.html
Good luck.

Here is the link to download the drivers you need for the OpticPro u12 Scanner. Just donload the right drivers for your computer operating system( Window 98, 2000, or Xp) then install. There is also a patch that you will need to download and install after you install the driver. This will fix your problem
