I've been using my EPSON scanner ES-300C with my Amiga for some years without
any problems. Now I need to connect it to my PC and for this reason I have
downloaded TWN220.EXE from Epson ftp site (it should be the right driver).

I have tried to connect it to different PCs with different motherboards/parallel
ports, I have installed the software and used the same cable I use with the
Amiga but it doesn't work.

From "EPSON Scanner Setup" I chose BID Parallel and the right Port Id (378) but
the PC hangs. In the BIOS I can set different Parallel Mode (ECP/EPP, EPP, SPP,
ECP) and as I don't know which is the right one I tried them all but the result
was always the same.

Do I need some special cable / port? Do you know what the problem is?

OR do you know the e-mail address of Epson tech support?

Please answer to this message via e-mail too, thanks a lot.

Thank you very much,
