Received the follow messages:
1) The Umax 1220u driver works with the basic
plain-jane TWAIN DS plugin, but neither VistaScan, nor VistaAccess (the utility
that lets you control the lamp on/off timeout) works. I used VistaScan 3.5.2
from http://umax.co.uk Thus the scanner works,
but if you use it during a Win2K session, teh light stays on ALL the time (even
overnight for 10 hours!). I fixed this by reboting to Win98, installing the same
drivers into Win98, letting Win98 turn the lamp off, then shutting down after
using the scanner. How tedious, but it works. Umax say that Win2K drivers for
most models should be out in the next week or two.
2) The new VistaScan 3.55 update works fine.
You need to download VistaScan 3.52 SCSI/USB (not
just USB) version, then run the updater, then reboot, then remove the scanner
from the device manager, then rescan for new devices, then allow driver to
update then specify %systemroot%system32 to find the PV8630.SYS file, then allow driver to finish loading. Kill VistaAccess and restart it and everything's sweet!
3) new drivers for win2000 for the 2000u,2100u and the 2200u models.but on umax site they say there will be no support for scanners older than the 2000u
