Re: Problem installing scanner?

Dear sir,

I have install a used Canon D1250U2F to my XP and is without the
installation manual. I ve also download it's driver from Canon USA website.
And like u put it, "it's not an easy chore" and it's still not working.

By any chance u could e-mail a copy of the "step by step" installation manual?

Thank you.
