HP Scanjet 2200
I've an old workhorse scanner from HP (Scanjet 2200). It's been working
flawlessly since Win98 and has stopped to work since I've upgraded from XP to Vista. As, unfortunately to HP, I do not plan to spend money on a new scanner I do not need, does anyone know of any way or circumvention to make it work under Vista? Something like making WIA and TWAIN co-exist in harmony in the same machine? Thanks in advance for any tips or clues. -- Roberto Tadeu |

HP Scanjet 2200
I have a 5470c HP scanner that is not "supported" by HP under Vista.
However, I did get the XP drivers to install TWAIN drivers and the HP scanning software works very well. However, Windows Fax and Scan, requiring WIA, does not recognize the scanner. Some thing to try: 1. Right click on the scanner install file and select "Run as Administrator" 2. Right click on the scanner install file and select Properties, on the Compatibility tab, select XP SP2 3. Once installed, right click on the HP scanning executable, Properties, Compatibility tab, XP SP2 4. Once installed, right click on the HP scanning executable, and select "Run as Administrator" Good luck. You might also look into Vue Scan (use Google) to see if your scanner is supported. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "RTadeu" wrote in message ...

VueScan scanning software includes Vista-compatible drivers for hundreds of scanners, including the older HP scanners. I got an old HP 4C working fine by installing VueScan. Even the old HP diagnostic and copy utilites work great, now on my Vista Business laptop. -- Roberto Tadeu |
