HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ALL!
Trying to sinmplify scanning at Mom's here for her for her new scanner. I felt the AQUIRE function in Irfanview would be most user-friendly for her, but I continue to get the attached error that has me stumped. All suggestions/insights will be appreciated!
TIA
W98se
Irfanview 3.95 + all plugins
HP PSC 1315 all-in-one printer, scanner copier
problem fixed - just made sure to uninstall all the hp stuff from old hp printer and did full install of drivers/software for the new all-in-one. Irfanview FILE - AQUIRE function works great now!
Yes, one should always remove old hardware's software before adding new hardware. ;) Glad to see you got that fixed.
Scanner was working as desired, but then found that the all-in-one was not being picked up as a printer and I was unsuccessful at adding it via "Add New Hardware" via control panel.
I then followed the (to me) surprising instructions for leaving the USB cable between the print/scan/copier and the PC DISCONNECTED until AFTER all the software had been installed - then shutdown, connect USB, restart...and all was well!
Yes that is usually the procedure for installing USB printers/scanners or all in ones. Software first then connect device to USB on computer. My Epson is same way. As are most all other devices.
thanks for the insights, photolady - I never stop loving learning something new! :D
