Noel.......
The following is the update page for drivers, but it is darned confusing
which ones to put on first......and I don't want any that are not just plain
old printer drivers, coz I took the picture software (Arcsoft) off of this
machine.
My patience just went out the window!! I found my HP Scanner to be rather
tetchy and confusing for a while at first as well. Can't they do these
things for *blondes*???
