Flatbed Scanning on MiniMac Intel

Richard,
As printers are extremely cheap, would you be willing to go for something like that, or do you need a dedicated scanner?

HP support kinda depends on when you call. Going w/ a network printer seems like the best deal w/ their products.

Also, did you take a look at vuescan?

I don't know, I've got 3 of the most recent 'buy a computer and get a printer' printers w/ integrated scanners laying about that I haven't checked out yet. I don't really mind going through them since I already opened the boxes if need be. I've got a couple of HP printers hooked up w/ scanners and I know one of them is working (can't live w/o at least one). Adding another scanner just isn't at the top of the list once you have one working.

I would really try vuescan (sp?) if I were you. Free trial can't hurt. To be honest, I've noticed the quality of HP drivers varies tremendously. It's almost seasonal. Winter terrible, Spring Great, Summer Something Doesn't Work.

Reseting the whole print setup, deleting all your printers, and re-adding them is probably the best way to go.

Which version software are they telling you to use?

Good Luck,

Version 8.4 isn't the latest version. At HP's website there's a version 9.x which is UB and works quite nicely.

I'm not taking that bet! Seriously, if you do find it fails to scan just reboot your computer. That tends to solve the problem. I suspect that sometimes sleeping the computer causes the computer to forget it has a scanner or the scanner to forget it has a computer.
