There's only one method of getting an Acer Parallel Port scanner to work in Windows XP. It has been posted many, many times in this forum. Please read our site instructions next time which tell you to read the previous requests/comments.
Instructions for installing Acer brand parallel port scanners in Windows XP:
For this driver to work in XP you must install the MiraScan software then install the scanner manually.
Step 1. Download MiraScan v3.424 from the web : Mirascan_v3424p.exe (ftp://12.145.38.159/scanner/drivers/parallel/mirascanv3424p.zip)
Step 2. Unzip and install the Mira Scan driver that you just downloaded. After installation , system will suggest you to add a scanner
Step 3. Then, add an imaging device
Step 4. Then the Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard comes up. Click Next at the bottom.
Step 5. Then on Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard screen it will ask you which scanner or camera do you want to install? You want to go where it says "Manufacturer" and then click on EPPSCANNER and where it says "Model" it should say color flatbedscanner. Make sure it is highlighted, also. Click on Next at the bottom.
Note: For additional screen shots of this procedure and installation procedures, please read the pdf file posted here: scpinwxp-eng.pdf (ftp://12.145.38.159/scanner/manuals/scpinwxp-eng.pdf)

The Screenshots show to be for Mirascan v3.423 but procedure is same for v3.424
