>From the Microsoft site:
DDK
Windows 98 DDK
Windows NT. 5.0 Beta 2 DDK
There is no DDK support for USB under earlier versions of Microsoft
operating systems.
This is what I call a W2K problem - there are a number of other
technologies, new versions of MS apps etc that Microsoft won't be supporting
on anything less than Win2K because they rely on active directory or other
technologies that won't be retrofitted to NT4 - after all they've got to
keep the upgrade cycle going if BillG is to be the greatest philanthropist
of the 20th century.

My aplogies the dealer I talked to said it would, when I checked the HP
site for the driver specs it said, as you had already found out, that NT
does not.
the http://www.usb.org/ has a tool to see if your system is compliant to
the usb standard by checking operating system, hardware then driver. This
tool reports for NT4 installed you need to wait for NT5. This site also has
all the hardware spec's for the usb ports. But the chances are that in
typical MS fashion there is not a clean interface for the API.
(means I will now have to get a scsii card with the scanner)

I don't know which HP you are referring to but it isn' the 4100C (no NT
driver available!). Which model is it?
