I suspect it will work just fine. I'm sure I could have figured it out,
given time and patience, and that it was a configuration problem of some
kind. I liked the scanner and others are reporting no problems, so I know it
was me.
More than anything, the lure of large format prints got me. That sent me to
the Polaroid.
For $249, how can you lose? Shoot, you could sell it on ebay for more than
that.
