adding a scanner

Comment:
I have a cannon fb630u scanner that I am trying to connect to my WIN XP computer. I downloaded the latest driver, but when I click to add an imaging device Cannon is not an option. Can I add more manufacturer options to the Scanner and Camera Installation Wizzard? Is there another way to get my computer to recognize the scanner?

I installed the driver after connecting the scanner as I thought it was already installed on this particular computer, but it must have been my daughters. I'll try the link you sent, thanks.

Remove any scanner listings in Device Manager.
The other software in the link is useful. A scanner without any software is not of much use.

You need to install the software first for any printer/aio, etc, before connecting it to the computer.

So then I should remove the scanner from device manager, install the software for it, put it back in device manager and then connect it to the computer?

That is the normal method for all USB devices. So, yes.

"install the software for it, put it back in device manager and then connect it to the computer?". No. Install the software, and connect it to the computer when prompted. You won't need to do anything in Device Manager after installing the software.
