ScanJet 3970 Driver for Vista
HP has posted a Vista 32/64 bit beta driver for the Scanjet 3970 and it works
just fine as I have the same scanner. -- James Austin, Texas "Sabo, Eric" wrote: Does anyone know of other driver that I could use for a ScanJet 3970 Scanner from HP on windows vista? HP is saying they will have a driver in the near future. |

ScanJet 3970 Driver for Vista
I downloaded the driver on the HP site but there is no transparency /
negative scan option (which is the main reason I got this device), and also no set-up functionality as such. And so far HP's helpful advice to me when I queried this - tough, we're not going to improve this so go buy a new scanner! Either HP's customer support is appalling - or there another driver somewhere 'out there that I'm just missing ? Any help appreciated.

Sorry to post here but it won't let me start a new post-keeps saying pop-up
blocker. Has anyone found a driver to use with a HP Scanjet 3300C with Vista basic? "Sabo, Eric" wrote: Does anyone know of other driver that I could use for a ScanJet 3970 Scanner from HP on windows vista? HP is saying they will have a driver in the near future. |

Unfortunately HP decided not to make this scanner Vista compatible.

Thanks Cari. I wonder what to do with a perfectly good scanner? Is there a
market for them on E Bay or ?

... Thanks Cari. I wonder what to do with a perfectly good scanner? Is there a market for them on E Bay or ? I got my 4400C working by installing Virtual PC, putting ME on that, and installing the ME drivers for the scanner. I don't scan often, though, and it's usually in batches, so the inconvenience of starting up the VPC, scanning, and copying the files to a shared folder to get them accessible under Vista isn't a big deal to me. - Bill |

Thanks Bill. Sounds like it wouldn't work for me.

You might try installing the XP Software using Run as Administrator and
possibly using Compatibility mode as well. If you do try this uninstall all HP software for this device; delete the Printer icon in Control Panel / Printers; unplug the printer and its cable from the PC and reboot. Then start to install the XP software by right mouse clicking the setup.exe file and selecting Run as Administrator. Don't reconnect the printer and cable until either the software installation tells you to or you get to [Finish] |
