Scanner.

[squakMix]

So I've had this scanner sitting around for about a year (I got it from my grandpa that never uses it), and now I want to use it. Problem is, I dont have the drivers/software for it because my grandpa had lost it (he had it sitting around for about a year before that).

Anyone know some "universal" scanner software? I just need to be able to scan basic stuff in... It doesnt really need to be too sensitive/include anything special.

Oh yea: I have a "visioneer One touch 5800 usb" scanner.

Search driverguide for that model.

[squakMix]

I went to "driverguide.com" and I have to sign up for a membership and stuff to get the driver. I'll do it if I have to, but I'd rather keep my email adress as spam free as possible.

[Bilbo Baggins]

sign up, get the driver, unsign.

[squakMix]

Well, I dont think the actual driver is really the problem (I think it's plug and play... sorry for misleading). I need the software that reads the information sent from the scanner.

...you think It'l have that?

[Bilbo Baggins]

You still need the driver, as you need the TWAIN stuff.

Have you contacted the manufacture?

[squakMix]

No.

...I'll go sign up for the website I guess.

Use the bugmenot extenstion :D

I guess this is a little late, but if you go to the manufactures website you can probably find the drivers there

If it's plug and play, and you have the driver, I think you can use a program as simple as MSPaint to scan in the image.

i'd be different if he wanted to scan text though.

[griffinn]

No way he's scanning anything useful.

Regardless, you can always give a disposable mailinator (http://www.mailinator.com/) address to sign up.

driverguide has a "temp" account that they give out to all new signups in case their email takes ages. pass is "512"
