    How to use an old scanner with no available windows 10 drivers.


    Hello!

    I am trying to use an old Memorex MEM48U scanner with my windows 10 computer, but it is an old scanner. The last drivers available online are for windows XP. Is there anything I can do to make old drivers work on windows 10 so that I can use this scanner?



    thanks in advance for any help

    What flat bed scanners work under Windows 10?


    At least with the Canon, I didn't come across any Windows 10 drivers, but that's reasonable to expect with such an old scanner. Did you really buy this one recently from Amazon?

    My suggestion would be to just look in to any recent scanner and make sure it lists Windows 10 compatibility. Know what you are buying before you purchase.

    Epson 1200 scanner now working! Very pleased.


    Worked perfectly,
    • Installed 2400 series driver (when it asked what model I had I also picked, 1270 and 4180 since these had the Slide scanner interface I thought it might add a few extra drivers)
    • Restarted PC
    • Needed to use Device manager 'Updated driver'
    • Assign 2400 driver. (See attached image)
    • Be sure scanner is powered on so it appears in device manager.

    Tested the Slide scanner attachment, I used PRO mode and it was discovered.
    I had to use the plastic blackout slide holder (for masking the slide) to find the slide though.

    How to use an old scanner with no available windows 10 drivers.

    Generic Scanner Driver for windows 10

    I have a scanner UMAX astar 5600. The scanner stopped working after I upgraded to windows 10 from windows 7.

    I managed to make the scanner work again by making use of Samsung scanner drivers(As suggested in a YouTube video).

    Things worked great, but now that driver of the Samsung scanner is not available, so my scanner does not work.

    The device shows up in the device manager as "USB Scanner" wah an yellow exclamation mark. I am unable to add the device under devices and printers.

    Is there a generic windows driver that I can use.

    Any help will be appreciated.
