I had success with this procedure on a clean installation of Windows XP Pro and a LaserJet 1100A. I can't vouch for its effectiveness with XP Home or an upgrade to either version or an 1100Ase.
1. Let Windows XP install its native driver for the LaserJet 1100.
2. Install the software from the CD that came with the printer and reboot.
3. Install the Windows 2000 update driver (lj188en.exe). You will receive a message that the driver is not compatible with XP. Just click OK, let the installation finish, and reboot.
4. Install the Windows XP communications update (lj1100cuwinnt42kxp-en.exe) and reboot.
At this point, I had full scanner functionality, including Insert from Scanner in WinFax Pro.
EDIT: Also, make sure your LPT port (parallel) is set to ECP in your BIOS.
