Getting a driver for the HP Scanjet 5470c flatbed scanner (Mac OS X)...

Unfortunately, VueScan does not detect my scanner when it is run, as I still do not have a proper driver for my scanner.

The driver which came with the scanner is for Mac OS 8.6 or 9.x --- I installed this driver successfully but my scanner is still not found by my system (Mac mini)

I currently use Mac OS X (10.4.5), so even a driver for Mac OS X should do. The HP website has a driver for Mac OS X but you have to order the CD-ROM online. And so far I have not been successful in ordering the driver through the mail as the server cannot be found... (this is the error I keep getting).

I might have to keep using the scanner with my Windows PC (win XP) which does recognise my scanner and it all works well. 🙂

Any suggestions for the Mac mini setup ?
