Digital BW, The Print

---
I know it makes no since, But it is working that way on 2 different 
computers. Mine is a 1.2 gig with Intel III and 384 meg of ram. I 
used both the Silverfast and Epson Twain soltware that came the 
scanner. I was set to purchase this scanner because of all the good 
write ups it got. The scans I am finally getting are 45 meg but still 
taking 15 min. I have used the Silverfast before so I don't think 
that is the problem. I wish I could find out because I really like 
the machine but as is I would not purchase one.
