Scanner problem

Hi,

I recently bought an Optic Pro 4830P Scanner at a boot sale. It's only been
used a couple of times and came with all the leads, however there was no
installation software with it.

I have e-mailed the manufacturers at different offices on a number of
occasions to get a copy of the installation disk but have never received a
reply. I cannot find a download on the web nor can I get the computer to
recognise a scanner is attached. I'm sure I am missing the obvious and there
is an easy way round this. Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks
Mike

A simple Google search led me to the following:

Don't know if it's what you need or not.

The driver is available at the Plustek German site

If the computer doesn't immediately recognize a piece of new hardware there
is some kind of problem that might not be solved even with the software.
