[Electronics-talk] Flatbed scanners and Windows 8.1

[Tony Sohl]

Hi folks, my wife hads a Toshiba sattlelite running windows 8.1.

For Christmas, we baught all-in-one scanners from Walmart and they are 
the Cannon Pixma scanner. Well unfortunately, the people at Walmart had 
no clue about the scnaner, and they didn't know if it was even Twain 
comatable. They didn't know if it was going to work with Windows 8.1.

We got it home and connected it to tyhe laptop and sure enough, it 
didn't even work with windows 8.1

My unit worked buecase I'm using windows 7 and I also have a computer 
running windows XP but it's going to be a game computer only!

Well, now we are looking for a scanner that will work with windows 8.1 
We are trying to find just a flat bed scanner but if we have to get an 
all in one then that might have to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?
