HP ScanJet 4300C & Vista
Does Vista support the HP ScanJet 4300c? Its a great scanner, bought when I got Dell's Mill. Me in 2000.
I've just purchased the XPS-420 & trying to install the scanner. It goes thru the process, icon is there, but can't get it to scan. Gives a message that it can't be located.
I'm wondering if I'll have the same problem with my printer. Its a HP Deskjet 932c & I've had it since 2000.
Thanks for any imput!!

According to this HP will not have Vista drivers for your scanner.

Well, I tried the HP scanject on my laptop (Compaq w/Windows XP), it doesn't work either. Goes thru all the setup, but gives me the same message as the XPS 420--- scanner not found. I'm "dumb" about drivers, etc. I suppose they're not there!! Should I try connecting my printer prior to the scanner? I didn't want to disconnect the printer from my old "Me" if its not going to work. I need it more often than the scanner.

You can get the drivers for Win XP for the scanner and printer
from HP, Your printer will work with the drivers that are already
on Vista or you might say plug and print like I did with my
HP 5550 printer. Just go to HP web site and check out the driver
info for your products.
