USB scanner not working on VMwared XP
I recently changed my health-insurance company. Today I got a letter asking me to return my insurance card or notify them in case I destroyed it myself. So I thought I might just fax them an image of the destroyed card. Because Fritz!Fax works beautifully in my virtual XP box, I wanted to get my Canon LiDE Scan 70 installed in the VM (no Linux support...). I downloaded the most recent driver from Canon's website and installed it.
Unfortunately I only get blue screens as soon as I "connect" the scanner to the virtual machine using the VMware server console. Being somewhat disappointed I will now have to boot up the RealThing(TM) Windows partition again...
