Vista - Lost Good Lexmark Scan software to Inferior Vista Scan

10-18-2007

I really liked my Lexmark All-In-One software when I had Win/ME. It had
OCR, you could clean up scans and make adjustments easily, as well as call
for some very high resolutions. And it did it all in a minimal step method.

Lexmark still has the software, but it isn't available for Vista. Instead,
they only provide a "minimal" driver because Vista is now doing the scans
with Windows Fax and Scan. Since I have Windows Ultimate 64, I have Fax and
Scan.

But it is minimal and requires hopping from one Windows utility to another.
And none provide me with the features I mentioned in the first paragraph.

I could rebuy (I already paid for the Lexmark software when I bought the
printer) for another $40+ from folks that won't upgrade for more than a year
unless you pay $70.

Oh, how I miss my Lexmark scan software!
