filmscanners: OK, Vuescan is driving me nuts

If you use the HP for plain paper text as well as photos I'd stick with the HP as IMHO it does this much better. In my experience I have found Epson photographic type output on specialist papers is slightly better, but I have not seen the same image printed on both printers by a competent
