Why don't you download a trial version of Vuescan from
www.hamrick.com.
I have a 4890C and recently HP made available a small executable that
installs just the drivers - it takes about 3 secs to install.
Now I can use my 4890 with Vuescan and Omnipage 16 WITHOUT the bloated
HP scanning software that doesn't work properly anyway.
If there are not specific drivers for your scanner from HP - try
downloading and installing the 4890 drivers.. just might work??
Good Luck
