Re: Will Epson printer & HP scanner work under Vista RTM?
I can't tell you about that specific HP scanner but I installed, as
dual boot, VISTA on my XP Pro machine which includes a HP ScanJet 5P
(!) scsi connected to an Adaptec 19160 scsi controller.
VISTA recognized them and they show up in Device manager without any
flags but I could not run the scanner.
When this happened in W2K I installed the older Deskscan 2.9 software
from HP which uses TWAIN to connect and as soon as I did that it gave
me the scanner test utility and the balloon went up beautifully (those
who don't know there's a hot air balloon that rises into the sky to
show that scanner passes its test).
The scanning software and the HP Copy Utility work fine.
I'm not saying that this offers a solution for you but all may not be
lost if at first it does not work.
