I made a big mistake. I mis-read Carol's email. I thought she said her
printer plugs into her scanner.  Therefor, Carol, I need more information on
the type of connector your scanner has, e.g. shape, number of pins, etc. Did
you have to add a internal card to your computer which the scanner plugs
into to. Does it have a small (1/4" x 1/2") rectangular connector?
