Vista with an HP5pse SCSI scanner
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 On Sat, 11 Aug 2007 17:42:01 -0400, huwyngr wrote: I gave up using Paperport ages ago but I still use a later version of OmniPage -- version 14 I think. Where are you coming from on this -- just trying to add Deskscan 2.9 to a machine that works with Paperport? WIA (which does not work under VISTA as it did under XP hence your problems in getting the scanner working) is a communication protocol, as I understand it, and so is TWAIN, so both should not be tried at the same time. What you can try to see if it helps is to disable WIA which I think I already indicated how to do. Administrative tools / Services / Find Window Image Acquisition (WIA) and double click on it and change to Disabled in the drop list. Then reboot and see what happens. I am under the impression that once you get the scanner working you can re-enable WIA since I see that my VISTA that I am in now has WIA on Automatic again. As I said earlier, for me when I get Deskscan working under XP and under VISTA it adds Scan to or Acquire image to MS WORD and to Irfanview which are two programs that I use and know what happens to. I don't any longer know how Paperport works but someone here may know or you could ask them? PS A quick look at their support pages indicates that their remedy for one WIA problem they mention (but with WIndows ME) is to use the "Official TWAIN driver for the scanner" ..... |

Vista with an HP5pse SCSI scanner
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 oldman On Mon, 13 Aug 2007 15:14:29 -0700, wrote: 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.

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

The only scan choice is Deskscan 2.9. That's what I've been telling you -- how to get Deskscan 2.9 to work under VISTA. WIA is different and has its own method of talking with devices. |

No 32 bit. I am not totally nuts. I have an LSI Logic PCI card on my XP system and the scanner with Paperport works like a charm. The same LSI card is in the Vista machine. Vista recognizes the card and installs perfectly. On the Xp system I use WIA: Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 5p as the scanner and everything works. On the Vista box you only see Deskscan 2.9. The WIA never appears. Thanks, oldman |

After the card was recognized I shut down and then connected the scanner. When I opened Paperport the only device available was the Deskscan 2.9. No other choices. I guess when I get a new all in 1 printer the scanner will be dumped. I am looking at a Samsung scx-4725fn model. oldman |

I find it does everything I need and the Copy Utility is first class -- better than I've had on many office copiers. If you have the space I would recommend a printer and a scanner rather than an all-in-one. |
