Cool Javelin - 2017-03-14

I am using NAPS2 on an older laptop with XP, and a HP scanner.
This config works.

I want to use on Win7, but the flatbed scanner I have (ScanJet 4100C) has no driver for Win7 (I guess Win7 changed ther driver technology and the normal driver will not install.)

I see in NAPS2, I have a choice between using TWAIN or WIA drivers. (currently in XP I am using WIA)

I don't fully understand the difference, but, my question...

Does NAPS come with the drivers to use my old HP scanner independant of the windows drivers such that I can use it on Win7?

Thanks for any assistance,

Mark.

Hi Cool, You probably need to look at Vuescan from www.hamrick.com/ it has drivers for older scanners - it may. Note I am not affiliated with hamrick just aware of their product.
