There is a free program for the Pro-2052
I use it alot..and it may not have some of the extra stuff that the
other program mentioned has but being free and it does work quite well
I have been using it for a while and it works great
it says it is for win9x but I imagine it would work on XP as well
you can find it at

I didn't necessarily mean "how" one could detect if a R.S. product will be
discontinued but "why" R.S. would discontinue such an excellent scanner as
the Pro-2052.
RS's rationale isn't how good a scanner is, it's how profitable it is.
I'm missing some obscure fact as to why the R.S. execs. would
chose to axe this particular scanner when they came out with such inferior
scanners that desperately need to be axed.
The "inferior" ones bring in profit - the axed ones don't. It's not
obscure at all.
I have another question, the two times I tried to order the computer program
that would allow me to control the scanner from my computer met with
comments like: They discontinued that, or We can't get it in this store.
Anyone know the "real" story of the advertised computer program that some,
including myself, couldn't get ?
Which program are you talking about? The only one RS ever sold (that
I know of) is discontinued, and it wasn't all that good to begin with.
Get Don Starr's program for whichever scanner you have, and you won't
be sorry. (I have nothing to do with either RS or Don, but I write
software and I recognize good stuff when I see [and use] it.)
