Scanjet is HP's generic name for their scanner hardware.

They have had software under the Deskscan name and under Precisionscan.
It is the former -- Deskscan 2.9 -- that I am successfully using under
VISTA and XP.

I have an HP 5370c scanner. HP.com says they are not suppoting the scanner
under Vista. I went to http://www.hamrick.com/ and downloaded the .inf file
and the Vuescan trial. After installing the drivers in the .inf file and the
Vuescan program the scanner worked. I then downloaded the HP Scanjet file
and the scanner worked. It sure beats having to buy a new scanner.

Logitech Webcam Mssgr is not supported neither according to Logitech .. but
I got it working with Vista.

Interesting, I might try it with my HP4570C scanner.
Please tell me what you meant by: "I then downloaded the HP Scanjet file"
Can I just install the HP ScanJet software?
best wishes

You need the beta driver from Vista's RC days, not the current one. It works
fine here on Vista RTM, mileage may vary as I don't have wide experince with
it on numerous machines, just a couple here. I could email it to you, it's
around 4 and a half MB.

I don't see how VueScan has anything to do with your Scanner working outside
VueScan, as it has nothing to do with Windows drivers. VueScan uses its own
drivers and accesses the scanner directly. Great program though.

It does because a wide variety of drivers can work on a wide variety of
printers/scanners and your functionality milage may vary. Sometimes when
the printer/scanner maker drags their ass and doesn't get the driver out
using another driver can get the job done, and for the functionality most
people require or even know about, well.

You didn't read my post correctly. Vuescan accesses the scanner hardware
directly, using its own drivers. These are not Windows drivers and I can't
see how any other program can make use of them.

Is HP Scanjet the scanning software, and it does not contain the scanner
drivers at all. Is it a TWAIN program?
