Vista - HP Scanner Question

Does anyone know if HP will support the 5400 series of scanners (a
number of models from 5400 to 5490) under Vista? These are USB scanners
from about 2003. HP has been non-responsive (no answer either way).

Also, the same question for the HP Photosmart 7350 printer.

Barry,
In my ongoing discussions with HP,ever since beta 2 5384;they have
stated every time;that they'll have Vista drivers when Vista goes
public(RTM).
Sorry, that's what they've told me-bummer too;since I never did get my
HP Photosmart 7450 running. (bought an Epson-back in the day-5384- LOL)

Jeff :-(

I installed the XP drivers for my 5470 and it works.

I guess that means November 30th.

It would be nice to know if I have to plan on getting a new scanner &
printer, or using them only under XP (I will have dual boot).

I have been able to get my HP Photosmart 7760 Printer to work under Vista by
using 7800 drivers. I have a HP 4400c Scanner and it is dead in the water
under 5744 Vista.

Check these guys.
They make unofficial drivers for old and new scanners.

On the HP scanner model I was enquiring about (HP 5490C), Vuescan
requires that the HP software be installed first. Consequently, if the
HP sofware doesn't work with Vista, Vuescan isn't going to be a solution.

Hi

At least for Vista 64-bit I don't think they are. Check this link:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...dlc=en&lang=en

It is a link for Windows XP Pro x64 drivers, and they do not plan to support
neither your scanner nor mine (a perfectly-working 5370...) with 64-bit
drivers. If they don't plan it for XP64, I don't think they will for Vista
64 either.

Since I am already working (and liking very much) with the RC2 x64 version,
I guess it's time to change scanners...

If they are current products and they plan to sell them as Vista Ready, they
will have to have both 32 and 64 bit drivers. Otherwise looks bleak,
