Re: How do I install a scanner driver for a printer?

If you can say where (or how) you see a "Vista scanner driver for th 1220",
I (or someone else) may be able figure out how to "install" it.

I don't have an HP LaserJet1220, so I couldn't tell whether it works or not.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
