Scanning 35mm Slides w/HP Scanjet-5300C

Archived from groups: comp.sys.hp.hardware (More info?)

Have 100's of 35mm color slides. Want to scan onto Iomega 100mb disks then print my
favorites.
Bought a little HP 35mm slide adapter but scans at 1:1 size. Enlarging to 4x5" size with
any Photo editor yields blocky pixels image. Saw a passing remark somewhere of a HP
"Lighted" 35mm adapter but cannot find the product for sale, even online HP store.

Seems like there should be a device to lay on my flat bed scanner, hold one slide, project
it on a frosted focal plane in 4x5 size so it could be scanned into my puter, then saved on
my Iomega disk, then printed on my HP PhotoSmart-1115 printer.

Any guidance is welcome.
Thanks,
Jim.

....also comp.periphs.scanners is a good place to look for information on
scanners, techniques, etc. Comp.periphs.printers gets the printing side
of scanning.
