I went to compaq's support site and got the XP drivers here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=217323

I installed the drivers first S4-100 Color USB Scanner Drivers for Windows XP

Then installed the application: Vistascan Support Software Module for the Compaq S4-100 Scanner

*be sure all your "Windows Updates" are up to date.

Once installed I had to go to the default directory C:\VistaScan to find the .exe file. The software booted right up! But, it said the device was not on. I simply pulled the USB out and put it back in and it worked perfectly.

I imagine you might have to start up vista scan and pull the USB cord in and out every time you reboot your machine, which is kinda a cheap work around. However, it is a way to "give it to the man"!! and I like that idea ;)

That means, your scanner lens are not reflecting images properly so
you need to clean ADF kits and Glasses of Lens.
i highly recommend not to mess up with your scanner if you are not aware of those all parts and if you are just open up scanner glass cover and clean those all ADF kits otherwise better getting help of a printer Tech.
Good luck

dear all

please advise me where i can get driver cd for this scanner

None of the above.
Both the scanner and the printer connect to a computer.

If you care about technical language, the scanner and the printer are USB clients. The cannot communicate with each other. The need a host for that. A computer has USB host device built in.

Go to Control Panel look and see what printer or printers are connected to your PC. Then I would try to reinstall my new printer.

You need the Windows XP driver for The Compaq A-1000 printer. Which is necessary as well as up so 15245 for all printer features.
