Hi guys,

 I need help on Epson Scanners. I have got the hardware from
a friend of mine but I couldn't make it work. I don't know much
about scanners and I'm probably doing something stupid. 

I just connected the scanner to the parallel port and downloaded the
drivers (EPSON TWAIN driver v2.51A) from the epson site but I couldn't
make the software acquire any image. It doesn't even connect to
the scanner because I got an error saying to check if the power
was on (sigh....). 

There are some switches on the scanner but I don't have any docs on
how the set them. The hardware is a flatbed epson gt-6500 and the 
drivers readme file lists it as a supported model.

Any help will be appreciated. If you please can reply also to my 
e-mail address would be helpful because I'm not a strong reader of
these newsgroups (paolo.bonetto@iol.it). 

Thanks again for any help you can provide.
Cheers.
