What I had to do was find something else that had similar drivers and use those... and it worked fine.  but the way you install the hardware is a lil different.  when you plug it in if you go to devices & pritners and add a device and go through that, you can get other things installed.  If not using it in compatiblity mode...  You should be able to get it to work  my printer/scanner and other stuff is from around 2002/2003...so its pretty old.
