Hugh have you or anyone tried copying the appropriate hp scanjet 5p
scanner 5p drivers from an XP system into the appropriate folders of a
Vista system? In an XP system I looked in device manager for the
scanner for device drivers installed. They appear in the following
folders:
System32
System32/Drivers.
So far I have copied a total of 18 files to a temporary folder. In
the small s32 folder I have copies of all of the files that begin with
hps there are eight files. Also in this folder are all of the files
that begin with WIA which I believe are the files for the twain driver
used by Paperport.
In the XP folder System32\drivers there were two files beginning with
SCSI.
My SCSI controller is a LSI Logic 53C875/53C876. As stated in the note
below this was recognized and installed when I placed it in the Vista
box.
Thanks,
