OT: Computer Question. I get a Software Manager pop-up message saying that

[furfoot]

there "a newer version of your PaperPort Software is available."
First of all, just what is a paperport and what does it do? Now, I changed to a wireless/wired laserjet printer recently and it was sometime after the change that these messages started appearing so I'm thinking that the events are related. Any knowledgeable answers? Also, I haven't installed the update since I didn't know if it's safe or just someone sending malware. Download or not? Thanks all and a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Did you ever have a scanner? A couple of computers ago, when I also had a scanner (Can't recall the brand), PaperPort was part of the software that came with it.

The new laserjet is a scanner also(everything but a fax) so since I never got the message until the new printer, I would say that you are correct. I haven't scanned anything yet(and may never) but it sounds like the update could be worthwhile. Thanks!

I will add I do like the paper port software.
