Networked scanner?
Let me get this straight before I answer:
Is the multi-function printer/scanner directly connected to the computer you wish to have it on? Or is it connected remotely through another computer on your network? -- Maxwell Bluemeanie ------ "JoeT" wrote in message ...

A (workgroup) Networked MFC with a (multi port) Print server card (Brothers card looks like 3 device ports on the same IP). No other PC needed, it is built in.

Networked scanner?
It is connected to the router on my network, hence network scanner. Worked a
treat on an all XP network but HP has seen fit to delay in preparing vista versions of their software other than the bare essential interface (web based) which has none of the capabilities that allow it to appear as a local device as does the printer portion.

Ah, OK. I'm afraid you will probably have to wait for the updated driver(s)
from HP then. If they ever release them for your model. As far as I am aware, Vista has no inherent ability to network a scanner generically. -- Maxwell Bluemeanie ------ "JoeT" wrote in message ...

That's correct -- network-attached printer support is in-box. Other forms
of network-attached hardware, however, will rely on vendor drivers. "Max" wrote in message ... Ah, OK. I'm afraid you will probably have to wait for the updated driver(s) from HP then.
