Is the HP Scanjet 3970 digital Flatbed Scanner compatible ..

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

Hi there,

I'm considering buying the HP Scanjet 3970 digital Flatbed Scanner because
I'm wanting to scan some slides and negatives, and it's cheaper to buy the
scanner than get a photolab to do it for me.

My big concern is that I'm aware some HP scanners do not work with Windows
XP SP2 as I've found out, so before purchasing the scanner I'd like to know
if it will work, or if I'm going to waste my money again.

Does anyone know if I'll have any troubles or issues with this scanner?? Or
will it work without any problems??

Thanks

Steven
