Looking for something to work with my HP scanner. Their stuff is pretty bad.
Would like to be able to scan, then save as output file. Thanks.

Assuming you have the drivers installed, you can use irfanview to do
the scanning bit. I think many free image viewers allow this.
I also have a HP printer/scanner/copier (HP PSC 1610) and want to scan without
installing the .NET framework and their 100 MB+ software to do it. (The drivers
do not include any scanning functionality: as I said, you need to install .NET
and their bloated tools to do it).
But IrfanView is not the answer -- it gives the following error. If I could find
a freeware scanning app, then I too would be most grateful.
That's presumably because you don't have TWAIN installed. I don't
know if HP scanners come with TWAIN s/w but I use Irfanview and
PhotoFiltre for scanning very successfully on my Epson scanner.
Can you not get TWAIN from HP?
I also use Irfenview for quick scanning jobs - it works very well. But
yes - as you say you must have a basic TWAIN driver installed. I would
think a google for it would find a driver he could use.
Good call on Irfenview - been using it for years for almost all my image
work.
I believe all you need to do is go to the HP support site andSweet said:Looking for something to work with my HP scanner. Their stuff is pretty bad.
