Ehehe, yeap, I got my good 'ol 340P and asolutely no luck, I guess it serves me right for buying a Acer product, hardly any of their products even support win2k. I hope if they do release a 640P driver maybe it will work with my 340 ? Until then, I'll try scanning in linux instead....

Yes, i get the same problem, but...

First i use the driver found in the ACER page at the following link:
http://www.acercm.com.au/products/scan/service/drivers/MiraScan342P.zip

After i follow the steps mentioned in the HTML file founded inside the driver file i get windowsXP to recognize the Scanner and the driver was installed successfully, the problem is when i make a test twindowsXP tell that the scanner is not connected to the computer....

Please all try the driver and do your work maybe someone could solve this problem and post it here thanks a lot...

Eurika, I found it!

I sent Acer Tech Support a note about the problem and they sent me the installation instructions for MiraScan342P.zip on Windows XP. It actually works!!!!

I can't attach the document here, but I'll email it to the people looking for this answer.

ATTENTION ALL ACER PRISA SCAN 320/620P USERS:

Get the trial version or a basic version of Adobe Photo Deluxe thats sometimes packaged with your Recovery Disk programs. Install this program then download their EPSParsr Plug in Update From their website ( It would be under their Adobe Phot deluxe Home Edition). Download this parser and add it in your Photo Deluxe Plug In Folder, click replace and replace the older EPSParsr program. Then insert your Color Flatbed scanner disk (Version 3.0, 90.69539.030 Edition)that came with your scanner and double click on mirascan. After its installed you must restart your machine. Start up Adobe Deluxe Home edition and disregard XP's warning and press continue and choose scanner and scan away. *ONE SMALL PROBLEM YOU CANNOT SCAN HIGHER THAN 200 DPI's. That should work until a new driver is developed or its within your budget to buy an XP compatible Scanner. OH! and this time, not an ACER Product.........

Lanz,NY
