Query: Better than Expected

This scanner I've found turned out to work much better than expected. I needed a replacement when I put my printer/scanner on a network interface and lost it's scanning abilities.I gave this one a try, because of the small space it takes up. But, I was wary of the negative reviews it's been receiving.I got it and installed it. I didn't have any problems with Windows XP. Properly installed with administrator rights, and not making the mistake of hooking up the printer before installing the software, I didn't have any problems with the computer not recognizing the scanner.Admittedly I don't use the HP software, but my own 3rd party software. The software isn't really that good.Scan quality is good. The first scan does take a long time, but subsequent scans are very fast in comparison.The negative and slide scanner does turn out good scans, if you're using the default quality settings of 300dpi. It's better on higher settings, but takes forever to scan.Overall, an excellent buy.
