Browse to \\tcu.edu\dfs1\netsetup\drivers\scanners\hp5100c\win2k
Step 1
Run the sj269en.exe and unpack to C:\patch
Unzip the Epstw2k.zip into C:\patch (this will replace one file
from the previous extract).
Step 2
Unplug the scanner and install the HP Scanning Software.
DO NOT RESTART the machine at this stage - if you do, you'll get a blue
screen of death!
Step 3
Run the C:\patch\setup - it will ask for the path to the epsw2k.sys
file (enter C:\patch).
Move all scanjet hpppt*.* files under the installation dir
(typically \SCANJET) into a separate folder - apparently the
hpppt.exe causes problems.
Step 4
Restart the machine - should now come up without crashing.
Follow the instructions about enabling interrupts on LPT1.
Step 5
Remove the reference to hpppt.exe in the profile startup.
Remove it from the HP scanning software menu.
You may also when logging in, get an extraneous explorer
window popping up - I found this was caused by the following
registry entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\hppt
Remove the reference to hppt and the window no longer appears
after login.
