dexxa 4800 scanner

I can't use my scanner, because each time I get a message "could not open the Twain source. Make sure there is a valid source, I have a valid source. What happens is it starts up the printer first. Can you help.

Step 1:  Installed the scanner interface card in your computer.

.. and after...
1.3 To work Flatbed scanner with Omnipage OCR software for Win95 users : After the installation of OmniPage is done, please switch to Scanmgr operation and select Twain scanner as default, then choose the exact data source you desired...
Have you disk with twain.32_, twain21.dl_ etc. in it?

Thanks GOLIATH, I have the Twain folder & program installed, this morning I reinstalled the Driver Disk, but I still cannot get this to work, I am running both Printer & Scanner from the one port, Computer is a Compaq Presario 2240, I have had both running before, but this is the second time this fault has occured, I was told that I would have to put in another port so as they aren't running in parrallel, what do you think?
