(More customer reviews)As of early April 2007, here's what happens when you attach this scanner to a PC running under Vista. Instead of using the software & drivers supplied on CD's included with the scanner, you have to go to HP's website and download a temporary driver. This driver enables the scanner to just barely function, as a stopgap until HP gets around to releasing robust, fully-compatible, software & drivers. The barebones driver essentially tells the scanner to default to whatever scanner software utility is included in Vista. This means you will be scanning thru a Microsoft interface, not an HP one. As such, you get the ability to save images as JPG files, but not as PDF's. In other words, the scanner's 4 dedicated one-touch-scanning buttons don't do that much for you; they just take you into Microsoft's scanning interface, enabling you to scan & save into JPG files. HP has no comment on when they will get around to releasing fully functional Vista-compatible drivers & software.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, the scanner seems to work. It's reasonably fast at 300, but high resolution settings take a long time. It's reasonably quiet. The lid lifts right off the scanner if you have a thick/bulky object to scan. If you scan something small, you need to cover it with a sheet of white paper, or else the film negative slot in the lid will appear in the background of what you scan.
