Recently I ugraded my PC up to the ifamous SP2 .. all is fine just a
small tiny problem. My HP 3670 scanner stopped working. I reinstalled
the drivers and did all the tricks in the book to get the thing working
and no luck so far - even talked with HP support - what a waste of
time ..
Here is what it happens: I start the preview (or scan directly - no
matters) .. the lamp makes few moves (i can hear it) and then the thing
remains on Warming up lamp message indefinitely until either me either
Windows gets bored
I changed USB cables etc. did self test for the scanner .. reinstalled
drivers and HP's software .. same result. And this on two machines with
of course the same Win version.
Oh ... I am no novice in doing this things ... I have wrote few drivers
(for Linux of course as any NORMAL programmer does ) and I know how
the things should work. I think MR Bill G has made SP2 so secure that
it refuses to even download data from my scanner .. kiding And no
ofense to Windows lovers, but I am still kicking my self for not
chosing an Linux supported scanner and letting me taken by the nice
3670 .. . If it keeps screwing with me I'll start wrinting a driver
for this thing in Linux -- a SANE backend. Probably I'll write the
driver faster than solving this Windows mess
Any brilliant idea is welcome .
