Description: This scanner was listed on the Mandrake hardware database as 'reported as being compatible with Mandrake Linux 9.2 by someone in our community of users and developers'. On trying to install it I found it 'not supported by this version of Linux'. There appears to be a distinction between 'compatible' and 'supported' that escaped me. Furthermore, I could not install it on my Windows 98 partition because of a problem the HP Install program has reading one of the files from the HP CD! The bottom line is that this scanner is at present useless to me.
I remain firmly committed to Linux.

The system says the scanner is detected but the driver are not available. I heard that you have to know the chip used in the scanner and find the driver of another scanner which uses the same chip.

For, Windows98, I had to reinstall VisualBasic because the scripts were misunderstood. I found VB on the CD of MS-Office.

I didn't found the chip etc... so I use my scanner only with Win98 (or XP).
