Bought a new Mustek1248ub scanner, and was installed perfectly. My computer had a problem and was reconfigured, but now can't find my disc to reinstall my scanner. What do I do now to get my scanner installed to my PC without the disc which is already lost???

I have many years of experince repairing Canon scanners so here is my suggestion.

First off I would go back to USB its faster then a parallel cable for scanning purposes. Second if your computer is a very old one then just get a usb card and install it in to your computer. Also make sure you have the latest drivers for the operating system your running. The drivers are free on Canons website. Just google Canon Canoscan N640P drivers it should take you directly to Canon's website also I would download capture perfect its free also an will function perfectly with your scanner.

When you install the newest drivers make sure your scanner is disconnected from your computer. Once the drivers are installed then attach the USB cable to your computer. You should get a message saying new drivers are being installed then reboot your computer and you should be good to go with whatever you want to scan.

I hope this helps you out.

yes your original disk is setup for only like windows 98 xp nt vista not windows 7 all you have to do is go to epson.com and input your make and model printer then download the driver for windows 7! good luck!

sounds like a compatability issue

Dont you have an installation disc with scanner?If not go Epson uk web site look for downloads or support for your scanner type,download and install

www.xerox/support.com

Click on the link below to open the driver download page for your scanner:

Epson Perfection 1250 Photo, Drivers & Downloads

Well the good news is you don't have to pick up a disc :-) . You can actually download the driver for the scanner here (the driver is the software that allows the computer to see the scanner)

http://www.usa.canon.com/opd/controller?act=OPDSoftwareAct&fcategoryid=2341&modelid=7181

On that page you want the second one down (2080INF.exe)

Here is what you are going to need to do:

1. Download that file
2. Double Click on the file and then hit "Run" followed by "Unzip"
3. Click the "Start" button
4. Click "Control Panel"
5. Double Click "Scanners & Camera's"
6. On the left menu (it is the blue menu on the left) select "Add Imaging Device"
7. A wizard will now come up , click "next"
8. It will now ask what kind of scanner/camera you want to install, on the bottom right is a button that reads "Have Disk" ; click that
9. Hit "Browse"
10. Navigate to the folder where you un-zipped the original download to. By default it went to "C:/DR208C/INF" - In that folder you will see a file named "CANODR2K" , double click it.
11. Hit "Ok"
12. Select how it is connected (USB or SCSI)
13. Finish the wizard

And thats it! Now your scanner is installed on the computer and you can scan......

Also on the original CD is a software called "Capture Perfect" , which is the software that is used for actually scanning with your scanner , you can download that here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Capture/Capture-Perfect.shtml
