scanner fail w/sp2

I have this cheap Brother MFC that has ethernet interface (model 3820cn).
It has software to manage its function called Paper Port. It quit working
right when SP2 was installed. They have it listed as a problem on their
website but no plan or expected solution.

I do a lot of scanning and before SP2 I could scan from the MFC right to a
folder I select and format on my PC by pusing a buttton on the MFC. All
that does not work any longer and I have to now scan into Paint for the
paper Port ap on the PC and then do a "save as" in .jpg format. It takes
about 10x as long now...very arduas.

Anyone know of a fix or better workaround?

thanks

The fix to getting paperport to work would be to patch or
buy a newer version of paperport.
 
I believe you either go back (restore) Win XP to the original state
(before SP2) or buy the latest version of PaperPort.
The PaperPort bundle with the scanner usually is a lite version and
the retail copy of PaperPort is having more features.

If the extra features aren't needed, I wonder if OP could
just buy a new scanner w/Paperport and sell the scanner sans
software on eBay, etc. ?
