Sue/Judy the link above is to PACKARDBELL and is TO A DRIVER PATCH for these printers(Diamond Series) to stop this problem (it seems). It looks like the site is down at the moment as the link was working earlier. You could also try here http://www.scanner-drivers(.)com But you have to register. The one at PBell seems to auto install (when I read it earlier) Don't forget brackets crap Computers take over the world ? Not while Microsoft and GR are here to stop them. Bob

Sue, You are not the only person, but differnet scanner! I have Epson cx3200, scanner has been a pain in the b*t from day 1. Instructions on this thing only relate to the copier! derrrr, think I know how a copier should perform!!! but zilch on the scanner. Have to 'unlock' then 'relock' don't bother with it too much these days now, too much hassle. Kim

Hi Judy, Nice to hear from you again, I will try that tomorrow, it seems that a lot of people with this make have the same problem I didn't realise that you had to update them...........

Try going to the manufacturer's website....there are usually drivers posted at their sites that you may need updating on your particular scanner model..... Judy :)

Robert I tried that link and it said page cannot be displayed, so I will try again on Mon.. Brenda yes it is that one, I have had nothing but bother with it from the day I got it...............how are you? Sue....................

Hi Sue Is your scanner PACKARD BELL DIAMOND 1200 PLUS I have one of these which came with my computer and it drives me mad at times , It scans somtimes and but if I use it more than 3 times in one session it packs in .for no reason at all Bren

It is a Packard Bell Diamond what ever that is I got it the same time as my Packard Computer...............no more jokes please it is driving me mad.

Is it a Hp Scanjet? because I have exactly the same problem! it drives me insane. Lynn

Sorry Sue, what type of scanner is it, USB (powered or seperate "brick" (powersupply)) or parallel port ? Bob
