I recently purchased a psc 1350v. Good printer. Easy to copy. Probably scans well enough, if I could get the damn software to work...
In short, I need to go around hp's horribly non-functional twain interface. I'm using the GIMP, but once you select the "twain source", the hp crap-for-driver kicks in. Hp says that if their software fails, limited functionality can be regained by using "WIA". Can I get this to run on 98? Any other suggestions?
In long, disgruntled... I knew there was a problem when the installation program demanded I install IE. I don't think any software company would make IE integral unless they were interested in doing a half-assed job. I screwed w/ that stuff for a couple of days, eventually finding that I could download a special minimal set of drivers on the hp support site. I highly recommend them, as they take about 30 minutes off the install process. But, after everything, the core problem still remains -- the twain interface simply doesn't work. I get a myriad "scripting errors" in scan.htm. According to hp, "There is no known solution...", so screw 'em. The support site said that partial functionality could be regained by using "WIA". Unfortunatly, it's used on ME/XP/2K, and not my 98. So, can I get a third-party peice of software that can fix this gaping oversite from hp? This is really ****ing me off...
Thanks for your help.
