HP Scanner drivers?

My bubble iMAC runs on OS 10.4, it used to have OS 9 on it as well. Is it possible to get a driver (in the UK) for an HP Scanjet 5470c? The scanner works fine, it used to work fine on OS 9 but when the MAC went to its doctor recently he appears to have removed OS 9 and now I can't use the scanner.

Any thoughts

Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Contact HP. Since it's their product, they should know or at least send you in the right direction.

Thanks folks

VueScan re-directs to HP and HP only have drivers for Canada and the US and that requires a 5 digit zip code for the CD - so no joy there

I still have the OS 9 install disc and I think I have the HP install - presumably I could just re-install OS 9 and hope it doesn't clash with anything else
