Hi, although I can't help you by telling you what would be compatible with xp in the way of scanners, I can tell you that when I was running xp pro, according to xp neither my scanner or my printer were compatible or working properly. The thing was, they were both working fine at all times, although xp didn't think they were. I should think I'm not the only person to have found this with xp. ....and who says computers are never wrong?
