Getting a scanner working

[Genie]

Where is the best place to put drivers when downloading anyway?

I already downloaded the latest Twain driver (now why does that sound like Jonathan Ross 'talking'!?), and another file (the one from Download Driver), and placed them in a Drivers folder I created in my Epson folder within Program Files.

Was this the right place to put it though?

Off to work soon, so don't take any lack of reply for a while as rudeness!

Where to put drivers? Good Q. I've always felt like an idiot because often you are given no idea where a download should go.

Genie, i had the same problem with my scanner it was a brand new model.
I loaded via the CD-rom and the website and couldn't get it working ( i use Win98 SE). It only stardted after updating some windows update files last June/July. Mate i even tried Canon support and after a month sending messages and the like i couldn't get it working.
I'm pretty sure its something in one of those Windows updates that screwed up using my scanner.

Thanks for the further replies...I guess I'll contact Epson at the weekend...

I guess it's going to be a long haul sorting this out

Found this link to a driver for 1650 scanners for all Windows that is recent on Epson website -



Cound be worth a try.

Thanks, I might have tried it, but I'll give it a go anyway...but trying to put aside an hour or two to contact their support, as I know from experience how long these things take...
