HP 2510 All-In-One printer/scanner....
For the first time since installing Vista, I had to scan a document. No problem, I'll use my trusty HP 2510 printer/scanner that I have on my home network. I load the Scanner and Camera Wizard.. no scanner? Ok, on to control panel, Scanners and Cameras and add device. I got the picture shown above. Ok, go to HP's site to download drivers and I see the following:
HP Printers - Installing the Printer Driver Located in Windows Vista
At this time there is not a downloadable full-feature Windows Vista driver solution available for your product.
The short-term driver solution is included in your Windows Vista Operating system and is already on your computer. There is no need to download anything at this time. This driver makes it possible to use the basic functions for the printer and can be used until the full-feature driver is available. Follow the steps below to quickly and easily get your product working with Windows Vista.
HP is currently working to make the HP full-feature driver solution available as soon as possible.
???? It took five years to create Vista and HP doesn't have drivers for it??? How in the world does this happen? No network scanning at all. In order to use the scanner, I have to unplug my laptop, find a USB printer cable, then hook it up, wait for the driver to load, then scan.
What I actually did was go to a mac mini that I have and scan it nicely over the network.
Be aware of this when you're ready to update to Vista. Check that the drivers are available that you really need before you take the plunge.
