Recently upgraded desktop from PIII to AMD64, and Canon 1250U2F no longer worked. Purchasing the Canon 4200F was cheaper than repair cost. Never worked after spending a day with multiple install attempts and spending several hours with Canon's tech dept. While they were great, it ultimately boiled down to an ongoing problem the technician related that Canon has with VIA drivers on a K8T800 based motherboards. Even after updating to the most recent drivers on the VIA web site, the inability to scan continued. This one is going back, an will get an Epson, probably the 2480.
On a related note, loaded the drivers into my Centrino based notebook with Intel drivers and the 4200F ran fine on first attempt, and the old 1250U2F was still dead. Quality of scans was excellent and much quicker than the old scanner. Also, Canon improved the ScanGear Toolbox to allow enlarge/reduction on copy function where previously limited to 100%. Still going back as can't justify not working on primary computer, even if I could transfer the scanned file from the notebook over a home network. Canon need to resolve their issue with VIA drivers.
On a related issue, as I was reviewing scanners, some may have confused the above problem as a Windows XP problem. More important were several lamenting the lack of telephone support. Here is the secret. Send an e-mail, like I did when having a problem with the 1250U2F. The email reply included a toll free number "good for 30 days" with the case#. Dial straight in, no problem. Kudos to Canon.
