I have a mustek 600CP parellel port scanner. Initially the drivers for windows 2000 did not work under windows XP since XP does not recognize the drivers. This is what I did and it worked for me.
Goto your registry by typing regedit in the run command. Then HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/Current Version. Under this look for the key "ProductName" = "Microsoft Windows XP".

Change this to "ProductName" = "Microsoft Windows 2000". Once you change this install the drivers for windows 2000 for the scanner. They should install properly. After the drivers are installed change the registry key back to the original.
