Just for the hell of it, I installed the HP 5470C scanner software under
Vista (ultimate RC 2 build 5744). With a couple of prompts, it
installed fine with no problems, and appeared to run. My initial
attempts to actually do and save a scan failed when I tried to save the
final scan, but after clicking on "run as administrator", even that ran
fine. I did get some "script warnings", but they seemed to have no
consequence when I simply ignored them.

The installation package that I used was SJ668en.exe, 60 megabytes. I
also applied XP Update, SJ667.exe (not sure if this is necessary, and it
generated a warning).

It SEEMS to be working with full functionality.

I actually have the ADF installed (which technically makes this a 5490C
rather than a 5470C), I didn't try the ADF but it's very likely to work.
 
By the way, I did this as an install under Vista itself, not as an
upgrade to an XP installation.
