@Spacecoyote said:I won't point out what's so bad about any of this, I think you can see. Also, that scanner's not the only HP product that has been very bad to me. The moral of the story: Never buy HP.HP is only fine if you buy products that aren't intended for consumers. I've got a ScanJet 5590 that comes with 2 drivers - a "consumer" Twain driver that is exactly as you described it (except that uncompressed it's over 200MB), and a "corporate" ISIS/Twain driver that is much smaller, and uses normal Windows UI.
