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

I know. See my reply to you from a couple of days ago, if you haven't as
yet. Related to Stormin' Norman's suggestion, I've used VueScan (Pro
version) for years with a couple of my scanners, and found it to be very
good software that uses its own drivers, so if it supports your scanner
(quite likely that it does) it would be well worth the investment
because it would eliminate the driver issues.


If you read the fine print VueScan and others, support the scanner with
their front end. However the HP3300 drivers for VueScan are supplied by
HP. So we are back to my same dilemma.

That's HP for you. I bought HP scanners and printers in the early '90s
and discovered their policy of discontinuing drivers and dropping
support for their products long before the hardware was inoperable due
to mechanical or electronic failures. I haven't bought an HP product
since. It wouldn't surprise me if they gave Hamrick legal grief for
developing drivers for earlier scanners, a la:
