Huh. The entire reason I went to SANE was 'cause my girlfriend -- it's her scanner from before we even met -- insisted its the 5300 (she doesn't have the docco or box anymore), and the HP driver for the 5300 doesn't work on any Mac OS X version later than 10.1. Last night I downloaded the HP software for the 3500 -- which is current -- and lo and behold! The scanner functions. Thanks for that vital, if little, tidbit of detail! And sorry to have taken up your time with a red herring. --Damon
