Bought this HP3200c flatbed scanner some 10 years ago, in times of Win98 - it stayed idle on the bottom of a cabinet for 9+ years, both for my laziness to check for updated drivers and for the old-fashioned parallel interface.

These days, reviewing my own museum of over-aged hardware, I decided to give it a try. First played with some virtualization software (to little success), then I decided to go for an updated driver. Installed like a charm in a Win Server 2003 box, 600 dpi caption.

Compared to modern models, it requires a machine reboot after installation, and it lacks sw for image manipulation. However, value for money is unbeatable!!!
