I recently bought a scanner off a mate, but he'd lost the driver CD.
Fair enough, I could just download them. Er, nope. These drivers are NOWHERE to be seen. There's a load of people with AS6000 scanners that wont work.
However, with a few hours to spare and no life to live, I have kinda solved this problem.
If you have an Astraslim scanner and are as fscked off as everyone else about the lack of support from UMAX, follow these instructions:
http://www.scanner-drivers.com/drivers/82/82707.htm
Download that driver set. It doesn't contain the AS6000 drivers and the setup.dll file is missing... HOWEVER, unzip/rar to a directory, and then get windows (im using XP) to search the root dir you've just unpacked and voila, it read's it in as a different scanner but it does indeed work. Then you can use the AstraSlim.exe from the zip to scan your files in.
As I said, I didn't quite know where to put this, but I figure as long as it's online somewhere, it'll eventually come to the attention of those needing it.
So if you know of anyone with this scanner and they are missing drivers (like half the other Astraslim owners) then just tell em about this thread and they should be set.
