Hi Mike,
Thanks. However, I'm not really worried about getting the Canon scanner
working. I'm more interested in a way to force Vista to use the "HP Laserjet
1220 Scanner" drivers for my HP (all-in-one Printer/Scanner). I just used
the Canon as a convenient way to show that the Laserjet Scanner drivers
actually exist in Vista since Vista only wants to install the printer only
drivers for that device.
Regards,
Mark
