That HAD been my expeience, too. When I needed to replace my old 5470C HP scanner, I went down and bought another one - but to this day it has lousy support and a very wonky driver. Epson, on the other hand has a great scanner 4490 AND driver support. -- Bob Smits [EMAIL PROTECTED] A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
