RE: HP scanner won't work w/ Vista

My computer on XP is working wireless and the scanner works fine with it. My
computer (w/ the Vista) is wired. I have the exact same computer and printer
at work and am having the same problem with both. My bosses computer is
wireless on XP and the scanner is working great on that too. SURELY it has
to be this junk we call VISTA! :-)
