I have an Epson Perfection 1250 scanner which is about 15 years old, but still useful - or it would be if I could get it running in Win 10. I still have the original CD with the driver software. When I moved from XP to Win 7, all I needed to get was a Win 7 Twain driver, which worked with the.

I've been experimenting with Windows 10 using a VM (VirtualBox) before upgrading. One challenge has been to see if I could get my old 1999 Epson Perfection 1200 scanner working in Windows 10 since Epson do not provide any 64 bit drivers.
I discovered you can use the Epson 64 bit drivers for the Perfection 2400 and they work fine with the Perfection 1200. The Epson Scan program is fully functional for normal reflective scans and film scanning (if you have the attachment). The built in Windows scan program also works. This fix also works in Windows 8.
Here is how to do it:
- Download and install the Perfection 2400U drivers from Epson USA, version 3.04A http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/s...rm=OSF_W_10-64
- Connect and turn on your scanner
- Run Device Manager
- The Perfection 1200U will be shown under under Other Devices
- Select Update Driver
- Choose 'Browse my computer for driver software'
- Choose 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
- UNCHECK the 'Show compatible hardware'
- Click on 'Epson' in the Manufacturer box, and the scroll down through model until you find 'Epson Perfection 2400', and choose that, and press Next
- Ignore the 'Update Driver warning - choose 'Yes'; to continue to install.
- The Perfection 2400 will now be shown in Device Manager. Note that the Perfection 1200 will still be shown under Devices & Printers
- Run Epson Scan and test the scanner. You may need to log out and log in again for program to work
