User Reviews for Epson PERFECTION 1660

  • Reviewed by: homebiz

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: solid, fast, good resolution

    Weaknesses: Does't work with Win XP

    Overall Evaluation: Works great on Win 98 machine. Bought a new WinXP and software would not install. Wasted hours and days trying find solution to problem from Epson site and help sites. Epson does not have drivers for Win XP.Had to keep the old Win 98 machine just to use the scanner.
