Hi Bruce,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I have another scanner attached to the same computer - a Canon Canoscan
4200F. There are no drivers available for this device yet, so it shows up in
the device manager under an "Other devices" category.
The following steps allow me to install the "Laserjet 1220 Scanner" driver
for the Canon:
1. Select "Update Driver Software" for the Canon scanner
2. Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
3. Select "Let my pick from a list of device drivers..."
4. Select "Imaging Devices" from the "Device Type" menu.
5. Select "Hewlett Packard" from the "Manufacturer" list.
6. Select "HP Laserjet 1220 Scanner" from the "Model" list.
7. Select "Next" - then press "Yes" in the "Update Driver Warning" popup
window
8. The HP Laserjet 1220 Scanner drivers are then installed for the Canon -
of course, they don't work for the Canon...
The "Driver File Details" window for the Canon scanner now includes the
following driver files:
C:\Windows\System32\Dot4Prt.sys
C:\Windows\System32\Dot4.sys
C:\Windows\System32\Dot4Scan.sys
C:\Windows\System32\ksthunk.sys
C:\Windows\System32\hpljbfig.sys
Any help or ideas on this issue are much appreciated.
Regards,
Mark
