Interface is slow, slow, slow.

Software interface takes much too long to load, and the slide and negative scans are poor quality.

Everytime you scan a new image, the "scanner lamp" warming up message appears, even if you've just used the scanner. This typically takes 15-20 seconds.

After the warm-up, if you need to switch from the default flatbed mode to a slide or film mode, the "scanner lamp" warming up appears still again.

Software installs with all sorts of bundled stuff for the average user, but most annoying to get rid of when you don't want it, like the e-fax (electronic fax service). After using the uninstall, I found I had to go through the registry and manually delete efax entries to keep the button from appearing on every program on my computer.

After installing, I hauled out my older Visioneer -- better scans, better price, faster GUI.

great

the results you get from this scanner will take your breath away.i have it teamed up with an epson stylus color 880 printer and the results are nothing but fantastic. the scanner is so easy to use, many operations done with the pushing of one button. to send anything to e-mail is especially easy.i have copied and printed photos from old sports illusrated magazines(from the 60's) and the results were amazing. at the price this scanner can't be beat.

slide scans are rubbish, only good for documents

I liked the scanner and it worked in WinME very well but when I upgraded to WinXP (clean install) I could not even install the software from HP's site on my computer. That is the reason I purchased this scanner because it was to be XP compliant. Don't get this if you are going to upgrade to XP, it will not work....

Great Scanner

I just bought this scanner and love the features to scan slides and 35mm film. I have spent all day entering slides and it is so easy that I haven't had to read any directions! Bought mine at (...), however it is less expensive here.
