Online help with the scanners etc. in Wilson SMART Commons

Old homepage for Wilson SMART has links to online help for some of their hardware. But attempts to get there now lead you only to the general SMART homepage, which strikes me as useless and which seems to have no links to either (a) online guides or (b) to the old Wilson SMART page which did have such links.

UPDATE (12/22/08)! The main SMART Commons page, while it does not display links to the locations, has a link called Contacts, which links to the locations.

The Wilson SMART homepage is still accessible at the URL below

(which I could find only because it was given in some FAQ entries).

For the scanners (my particular bĂȘte noir), the links go respectively to:

and

http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/pr317p/pr317prf/index.htm


The former is only four pages, but takes a long time to format before printing.
