Hi Geoff,
Could it be because it's a network printer/scanner? I never had luck
getting my HP8500 to work via the network with Abby. I had to physically
connect the device to my Mac for it to be recognized. I remember reading
somewhere that only certain printer/scanners would work with the scan option
via a network situation. Of course, though, this is just a shot in the dark.
Take Care
