[loverpharaoh]

Hi
i have acer scanner (prisa 620P/620S) mirascan
I want win 7 driver for that scanner

Are you sure there's a Win7 driver for it? If I'm not mistaken, that scanner was out right after the 320U Acerscan -- and there was not a Win7 driver nor a Vista driver for it.

Check the Windows 7 Compatibility Center to see if the scanner will work with Windows 7. If it is supported, do a search for the Windows 7 driver on the Acer website, Acer Support - Welcome to Acer Support.

Let us know if you find one!

i didn't find any thing about it , the cd come with scanner work only with win98/win200
i don't know what to do ?

Wow! Win98/Win2000, you sure got a lot of time out of that scanner. I am guessing that if it was compatible with Win98 and Win2000, that it will not be compatible with Windows 7. If you cannot find drivers on the Acer website, you can contact them and ask if there will ever be drivers from Windows 7 (doubtful, but worth a try for one last ditch effort). If you decide to purchase a new scanner, you can look through the ones found here - Windows 7 Compatibility for scanner: Drivers, Updates, Downloads, read some reviews on the net, and make a decision from there.

Hello all, has there been any success on finding drivers for the 620p acerscan with windows 7?
I hate throwing out something that still works excellant.
Thx in advance.

I have the 620UT on a WinXP-Pro box.

BenQ was originally spun off from Acer in 2001 to provide a separate branded channel. In 2006 Acer disposed of its remaining shares in BenQ. BenQ hasn't supported the scanners in a long time. Don't expect Win7 drivers, ever.

Thank you for the reply.
Yet another completely perfect piece of equipment is destined for a landfill.
There is something about our society that smells.
Hopefully I will be able to find someone who can se this item.

Have a good day.

I'll use mine as long as I can. Like all electronics, today, everything is throwaway. However, they are now recycling because they realized there is money to be made, even from the little bit of gold and other precious metals.

Did you find one?

So did you find a driver? I have the same problem and my scanner works fine why change it when all it needs is this damn driver

If you folks are running W7 Pro or Ultimate your scanners might run in "XP mode" I have a old Canon scanner and the few times I need to use it XP mode works fine.

You may be surprised at the improvement of a new scanner over ones 8-10 years old. I have a 2005 HP printer and an equally old Epson scanner. The printer uses the generic Windows 7 driver but the original scanner driver works. Both sold well before Vista was out. If a device won't work in 7 it is likely outdated, no driver is the same as no power cord, without either it won't work.

I do understand the desire to keep what appears to be a good device going and going and going....

If the OP scanner which was for Win 98/2000 it must be 12 or more years old. Need a new one.
