Scanning Options
I have an HP Officejet 5510v that came with a disk that has HP
Director on it. If I wanted to scan something, I started the HP Director and could, among other things, scan a document to PDF or to an editable text document (OCR). The lastest information I can find is that HP Director doesn't work under Windows Vista. The instructions at the HP site (hp.com) say to use Windows Fax and Scanning, but then goes on to say that "this feature works only with Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows Vista Business, and Windows Vista Enterprise." I have Vista Basic. Windows Photo Gallery *will* work, apparently, but the only options for scanning documents there are image formats, i.e., TIF, BMP, JPG or PNG. Does anyone know how/if I can get HP Director to work? Or is there an alternative that will work with Vista Basic that does what I could do before I bought a new computer? Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks -- |
