Scanners to donate to local school/charity.

shayser

Hi Guys,

We have changed our systems at work form local workstation scanning to network scanning. I have 18 Canon CanoScan N670u and CanoScan Lide30 flatbed scanners to get shot of.

Similiar to these.

These are pretty good quality USB scanners in good condition and are not old/outdated which might be a typical reason for wanting to dispose of computer equipment.

I have left details at Scoil Cholmcille, Letterkenny, but as yet they have not gotten back to me so if anyone is interested or knows of a local school/charity that would make use of these or some of these they are available in Letterkenny for collection.

If I don't get rid of them here I will post them in the free section of Adverts.

Fair play to you for making the offer.

I would have no problem getting 5 or 6 to local LK schools, as I have friends teaching in most of them. If you want me to follow this up, I'll be meeting them tomorrow night & will let you know on Friday.

Who says the human race is tainted. Very decent of you shayser, may all you glasses be full over the festive season.

Thanks Paddy. I'll see how it goes here and will contact Highland then if there is any left.

Olordy, Muffler, take your time. They are sitting in the office for a while now so therre is no panic at this end. Will do it on a first come first served basis.

I have checked with one of the teachers in St Mary's NS and yes they would be most interested in getting a couple.

I will PM you to arrange details.

Hi guys,

The driver disks I'm providing with the scanners have drivers up to Windows 2000 only but they worked for me here on XP machines.

The is an updated driver available here if there is any problems with the one on the CD:

http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDownload/Canon-CanoScan-NU-Download-822.html

Also, if installing from the CD, the driver is in the scangear\english folder.

I think the scanners will all be shouted for this evening but I will post back later with exact details including the list of organisations that they went to.

Hope this is ok...

Thanks to all....

Edit: Also, the scanners have a lock feature that protects the lens during transportation. It is on the base of the scanner. I have enabled this on all the scanners. It must be unlocked before use.

shayser

Thanks all for getting involved. Hope they go to good use.

Beneficiaries:

Scoil Mhuire, Letterkenny
Loreto Convent, Letterkenny
Ballymacool Respite House, Letterkenny
Lurgybrack National School, Letterkenny
St. Mary's NS, Stranorlar
Stranorlar Vocational School
Scoil Bhride, Boyagh, Porthall, Lifford

Thanks Shayser, the scanners will be distributed to the schools tomorrow.

Will I give any details on the donor company, or just take all the credit myself?

Thanks again, much appreciated.

My thanks too for the scanners that have gone to St. Mary's NS in Stranorlar earlier today.

I think you will get a little thank you note from them this week

Shayser, once again, you have revived my faith in the human race.
