There is a program you can get that works with some scanners http://www.hamrick.com/ but you may as well spend the money on a new scanner unless this is the scanner that's been in your family for generations and you really want to keep it for sentimental reasons.

for Win7 32bit the XP-Driver should still work.

Well it worked in my case, untill I doubled the RAM and installed Win7 64bit.

Now I'm searching for an alternative driver.
probably a universal driver or sth.

Old question, but if someone needs their old HP 2200c scanner to work, just use the XP 32bit driver as was suggested . . . but that will only work on Windows 7 32bit.

In my case, all my PC's are now 64bit. So I use a virtual machine with a 32 bit version of windows. Works fine for me that way. I know it's an old scanner, but I rarely have to use one, and it still functions perfectly. I see no reason to toss good hardware when there is an easy workaround the software issues. Besides, I use my virtual machine to play some really old games, so it was just a matter of installing the driver.
