I have an HP Scanjet 3300c. Since HP stopped supporting this scanner a

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?

I think that your HP drivers are highly unlikely to work unless your 32
bit tablet is running XP. Most drivers are written with specific
parameters for the intended OS, and once you move away from that, all
bets are off. Some manufacturers provide "generic" drivers to the OS
developer, and in those cases, the device may work on a newer OS, though
often with limited functionality.

Interesting, I thought he was talking about a "drawing tablet", e.g.

Interesting that you should bring that up. My first drawing tablet was a
12"x12" Summagraphics that I used with my PC in 1985 or so. The
manufacturer provided all of the necessary I/O code references so that
users could write their own drivers, which I did more than once during
"upgrades".

It has been a long time since I thought about drawing tablets, but mine
is not a drawing tablet.

It is this
