Vista - Vista with an HP5pse SCSI scanner

Hugh,

I have another question for you. On my Windows XP box I have the HP
5pse scanner. I am currently using Paperport for scanning. Paperport
uses WIA Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 5p #2 off of my LSI SCSI card. When
I
try to use the driver TWAIN Scanjet II 2.9 Rev 2.3 the test process
fails.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem since you indicated you use the
Scanjet 2.9 driver with XP.

Thanks

oldman

Hugh,

I will respond to each of your posts to my posts.

Tried the use the delete key. It will not work. also tried to drag
to the recycle bin and that does not work either.

Try doing it literally -- highlight the icon and hit the DELETE key
......

Don't try to delete the folder which I think you said you were trying
to do. Delete the icon within the folder like you would delete anything
else -- a file, an image a shortcut icon on the desktop:

Just highlight it and hit the DELETE key and then Yes/OK your way out.

Hugh,

Followed your instructions to the letter. No change in results. The
only scan choice is Deskscan 2.9. Disable WIA, rebooted, enabled WIA
but no WIA selection available.

Looks like this is not going to work under Vista.

Hugh,

I am assuming through all of this that the scanner should not be
attached to the computer?

Also when I bring up Paperport I do not see the WIA driver as a
choice. What did you do to be able to see the driver?

Thanks,

Oldman

Hugh,

Here is the latest. Yesterday I finally got the Deskscan 2.9 to work.
It is one terrible piece of software. Very limited. Now for the next
challenge/question. You are able to see the WIA driver when you bring
up your system in both Vista and XP. I can see WIA on my XP system
there has to be a way to get to what is Microsoft's generic WIA
driver.

My goal is to get WIA on the Vista machine so that with Paperport 11 I
am able to do everything I do on the XP system as far as scanning
goes.

I am baffled that a generic driver come up on your Vista system but
not on mine.

If anyone else follows this threat and has solved this problem please
post the detailed steps you followed to get WIA to load with
Paperport.

Thanks,

Oldman

Does anyone know if the Hewlett Packard Scanjet 5pse is 16 or 32 bit
device?

This could be my problem as to why it will not be seen by Paperport.

Thanks

Sorry but I can't help you then -- I've never encountered that.

Someone else will have to help you with, perhaps, questions of
permissions which I know very little about.
