Hi there ! I do have a 4200C and no W2K drivers ... want my scanner ? *gg* No, seriously ... if you can, tell HP that you would buy a scanner from them if they started developing W2K drivers ! I will try to find an email adress you can write to. Or maybe Hal can help you ... he works for HP. He may have an adress for you. Write to him at hal@null.net if its not too much trouble for you. :-)) Alex

Hi ! I am wondering wether anyone knows a way to get the HP 4200C USB scanner to work with W2k ? HP doesn´t seem to develop any W2K drivers for it. Does anyone have any news ? Thanks, Alex

HI Hal ! Of course I am supporting you. If you know anyone at HP that is responsible for this unbelievably stupid decision ( pardon me but this is simply crazy ! ) please tell him/her that I will immediately sell my scanner and NEVER, EVER buy any other HP product anymore, if they won´t start developing W2K drivers soon. In addition I will tell all my friends to do the same. Do they expect noone to to switch to W2K or what ? I would understand this if the scanner and technology was 5 years old, but the 4200 came out last year. I am sooo disappointed in HP .... I sent you an email too since I didn´t find a way to join the yahoo club ... Thanks and please keep me posted about any development ! :-) midiboy

Sorry, but it does not work. There is a driver for the 4100C and the 5100C but NOT for the 4200C. I tried installing the driver for the 4100C which sort of worked, but any app will crash when trying to scan from within using this driver. There also is no driver available from HP yet ... so I guess I am f.cked ... :-((( Thanks anyway ... for your help ! Alex

Hi Bryon .... sorry, took me awhile to answer .... it seems that W2K does not have any driver for the 4200C. USB bus is working because W2K detected the Epson USB printer and also a Unkown USB device which must be the scanner. Does anyone know a solution to this ? Thanks, Alex

Hi there ! Great forum ! Did anyone have any luck getting Packet CD to work under W2K ? I use the one coming with WinOnCD 3.7 and it is supposed to work under NT. However, after installation and reboot W2k will stop with a blue screen. I have already deactivated the C2aspi layer and installed the aspi32.exe 4.6 from the Adaptec homepage. Did not help at all. The blue screen only disappears if I deinstall PacketCD completely. Cequadrat so far refused to help because W2K was beta, but they still did not send me any upgrade. Does anyone have ANY ideas ?? Thanks very much ! Alex
