If it works on one laptop, and not the other than I would suggest changing the bad laptops parallel port settings. Try ECP/EPP, Bi-directional, Standard, whatever it takes.

Also try not going through a dos "window", but rather booting straight to dos via "Start", "Shut Down", "Restart in MS-DOS Mode".

Good luck,
Bob

actually get in touch with conleys and tell them you need the adapter for Direct scan. there were certain computers that had an issue and the adapter will solve this bad reading you are getting. I know first hand exactly what you are talking about, this is especially true if you have the older cable connection for direct scan this was actually corrected in th past couple of years. Try that, check the site he mentions it (chu) that the old cable caused a connection issue you add this between the computer and the cable and no more bad readings. And it's free....
