I fully concur with Allen and go a little
further: I've found that HP has SO much proprietary intrusiveness to
all their hardware, using their products -- or worse, getting rid of
their componentry -- became a nightmare. I have an Epson Perfection
1260 -- relatively cheapo flatbed scanner and find it works just fine when
importing with SmartScore....I'm using XP-Pro, 2004B and have installed the SP2
with absolutely no problems noted whatsoever.

recommendations?
What our guys tell people at shows is go out and purchase a $49
CANNON
scanner. Stay away from the HP's. The technology that HP uses to get
the
image into electronic form (dithering) is problematic with SmartScore
(pro
and lite) and I *think* it might be a problem for SharpEye as
well.
You don't need to spend a pile of money to get this to work. In
our testing
and use, the Cannon's seem to hold up the best.
Hope
this helps.
