Scanner/Parallel Port Probs

Hi I've got a Epson Stylus Color 660 Printer and a Canon Canoscan FB 630P Scanner. The Printer has integrated Support (Driver) with XP and I've downloaded the Xp updated Drivers for the scanner. The scanner only works if I use it before I use the printer. If I try to scan anything after printing I get an error message saying that the parallel port is being used (busy) by another device. I can only scan again after reboot. Both devices worked fine without any problems in ME before I upgraded to XP. Any help is greatly appreciated. -M@nny
