- We installed OS/2 a little while back, and tried to scan under it
- using Publishers Paintbrush in a full-screen DOS session. However,
- the scanner driver was unable to load, apparently because it wasn't
- able to access lpt2, the port the scanner was using. When we called
- HP, they said no additional drivers were neccesary, and it should work
- the way I ran it. I've had troble before dealing with printer ports
- and com ports under OS/2...is there some trick I need to know in
- order to use the scanner?
-
- Thanks a lot for any help you can give.
