Hi, anyone have any luck getting HP 6100xi scanner working fully under vista, in particular the "Scan to" function on the front panel? I have tried installing the Vista version of HP Solution Center under but it just says "No HP devices have been detected" (read no devices we care to support anymore).
HP recommendation seems to be to upgrade to an almost identical printer which they "support" under vista, but I really don't want to throw away a perfectly good printer, and if I did upgrade I certainly wouldn't upgrade to another HP printer if this is their idea of support.

You followed the instructions at: h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00808543&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=79480&lang=en
I notice it doesn't mention the scanner button on the front panel, only with Windows software so maybe they consider that an 'advanced feature' that is not supported under Vista. Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging coribright.com/windows

Yes, I followed the instructions on the HP web page. The basic printer driver is OK, but the basic scanner driver is useless. It doesn't support any of the front panel buttons, scan to PDF, or any of the functionality you would expect from a reasonable scanner.
