HELP ! HP Installation CD for a Scanjet 5470C/5490C

I have seems to have misplaced my Windows CD, the one that I found was the MAC
one..

I can get all the drivers from the HP Web Site but not the Photo Scan software
or OCD that this scanner supports, its on the Installation CD, from what I
have read.


If some one could get me a copy it would be appreciated, or how to get one
from HP..



Tried HP support, cost me $30, totally useless all they sent me was a Driver
on a CD, plus all the help desk staff do not speak English that well.



Can any one help, as I do not mind paying..


Thanks..

Sorry - I didn`t read all your post - just thought you wanted the driver :-(

Hi,

I know I have the disks for the 5470c around here somewhere... I'll track
it down tommorrow. Drop me an email with your details and I'll make a copy
and post it to you... Bandi1234@Bigpond.net.au Remove the numbers from
the address!

Anthony

Now that's the sort of stuff that usenet was built on - even if it was
top posted.

Been there done all that HP can't help, plus it does not have the Commercial
Applications that come on the Install CD, like Corel and OCD stuff.

They ONLY Have Drivers on there Web site..

OCD?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsess...ulsive_disorder

I think you mean OCR (Optical character recognition)
Omnipage Pro 15 is about a good as OCR gets at this time.

What Corel? Corel makes lots of software. Maybe you are looking for Corel
Paint Shop.
http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satell...d=1047024307383

Right!
You are looking for FREE software.
