I have an HP Scanjet 3300c. Since HP stopped supporting this scanner a
couple of years after I purchased it, I have been using the generic
scanner driver on my 32 bit XP computer. This driver was found in the
standard list of scanner drives in my OEM XP system.

How I have a 32 bit tablet, and while I have never been able to find a
64 bit driver to use on Windows 8. the though occurred to me if I could
find that 32 bit generic drive, I possibly could use the scanner on my
32 bit Windows 8 table..

If this is would be possible, where can I find that 32 bit generic XP
driver?

Make and model of the tablet?



From what I can determine your scanner is not a network capable device, unlike
your storage devices. As your tablet has a microusb port, you might be able to
hook the scanner up directly to the tablet.

How did you anticipate connecting to the scanner? Did you expect to do it
through the LAN or by using a USB cable?

The HP Steam is a full functioning Windows 8.1 computer. With an
adapter cable it can connect to any USB device through its micro USB port
