Re: HP scanner won't work w/ Vista

I HAD the same problem ... Discovered that Vista is not totally compatible
with some scanner/printers ... although, a general work around for Vista
users is to scan via Windows Paint program (File > From Scanner or Camera)
.... works fine for me on Vista...

Enjoy!
