    Windows 7 Ricoh Twain Driver

    For the MPC 2030/2050/2530/2550. There's none at the Ricoh download site. Am I missing something? Our customer has a 2030, which only scans via Twain. He has a brand new PC with Windows 7, which makes matters worse.

    Have you tried the Vista version? Any issues with that?

      It installs without problems, but it doesn't show up on the device selection screen of the application (Paint.NET in this case) alongside the customer's other scanner.

          Thanks. My guess is Ricoh will have to launch a TWAIN driver for W7.

            Hi There,

            On first look although I am using at the minute a Aficio 3030 which is version 4 also of the Twain driver. I tested in Version 3 of paint.net and Photoshop cs3 extended.

            Photoshop shows the driver as per normal paint.net does not.

            I will keep looking

            James

              Well, then that could point at an issue with Paint.Net. I'll try with Gimp on my next visit - maybe that will solve the problem.

              Thanks for the insight! I'll get back as soon as I get the chance to test it.

                  Why I am not surprised?
