I just discovered that the latest W10 update no longer supports the scanner part of my 2002 era workgroup class MFC.

Nope, not even that (checked the MFG: Use MS W10 driver  ). I broke out my old XP machine and a pen drive. Success 
W10 dropped Media Center, so my HD tuner no longer worked (the suggested workaround did not work).
Anyone for a SCSI (HP4C) scanner? I binned all the Zip disks and drives, snails were faster and held more than100MB a trip .
How about letting stuff die out before burying it. Some of us just bought quality stuff because we either worked it hard or wanted dependable, trouble free usage. </rant> |
I had an HP laser printer that was made obsolete by HP because they would not come out with a 64-bit printer driver for Windows.
I agree that it's really annoying when good hardware is done because of the lack of a software driver for it.
