Having trouble with EPSON Stylus SX130 scanner
- by pinouchon
I am trying to scan files with an EPSON Stylus SX130 on windows 7 x64.
When i plug in the printer, windows automatically find drivers for printing, but not for scanning.
So i go to the manufacturer website to download the drivers, select windows 7 64-bit and download drivers for EPSON Scan.
The install works fine, but when i try to scan a file (eg: from paint or Windows fax and scan), the folowing message pops up and freezes the application : the progress bar plays the animation forever and the application does not respond.
I then have no choice to kill the application with the task manager.
Do you have an idea of what's going on ? How can i fix the problem, ie: how do i get the scanner actually scan files without freezing ?
I tried to install the driver from the CD given in the printer package, and got the same problem.
The only help i found so far (the error seems somewhat related) is this :
Install a xp virtual machine and run it in there
