Hi Jerry,
I'm not trying to get the Canon scanner working. I'm trying to install the
"HP Laserjet 1220 Scanner" drivers. These drivers exist in Vista for
scanners, but Vista wants to install only the printer drivers for the
Laserjet 1220. The 1220 is both a scanner and a printer, but Vista refuses
to see the scanner side of the 1220.
Regards,
Mark
