    ScanJet 3970 Driver for Vista

    I have bought a new hp scanjet 3970 scanner and I want to use it on Windows Vista that I have installed on my computer. I am trying to search for a Vista compatible driver but am not able to find any. Even when I asked HP about same then they told me the driver for this scanner will be available in the near future for Vista? What am I suppose to do till then, any help?

    I think that HP has now made available the driver for this ScanJet 3970 scanner on their website. But many are reporting that there is no transparency or negative scan option and only for this reason I took this device. There is also no set-up functionality either. And HP is also saying their customers to but a new printer since they are not going to improve anything for the old ones.

    Have you tried installing the XP driver by using the Run as Administrator option and then choosing the Compatibility mode? First you need to uninstall all the HP software for this device from your computer and then unplug the printer and its cable from the PC and restart it. After that start to install the XP driver by right clicking on the .exe file and then select to run as administrator. Afterwards when the installation finishes then plug the printer again with the cable in your computer. Hope this helps.
