Using other Software to replace HP: Does anyone have experince running other photo or OCR software rather than doing a full install of HP SW?

I have the C7280 and what I did was not install the software. Go to HP's site and download the basic driver set for the printer and install. Remember to turn off your firewall and virus scan. I am using Acrobat 8 Standard to scan OCR PDFs and Photoshop to scan photos, all is well. So, when using the basic driver set, you can use what ever software you want. It is great hardware but I wouldn't bother with the SW, get PS Elements or Acrobat Elements. Good luck!

I haven't tried. But my other HP printer will enable you to save documents as PDF w/o Adobe

I ues it manually so the OS doesn't matter as the data is just that. If the printer will work on both you are good

I have Adobe Photoshop Lightroom installed on my wind and it works fine except side menus dont have much room to expand cuz of small resolution, so i get tired scrolling those menus up and down using touchpad, maybe its easier with external mouse but I havent tried it. So I have it as a backup for editing photos if I dont have access to my desktop.

I used it before on XP and 2000. Now on Vista Home Basic, I am having problems - it does not support scan to PDF and HP support is useless to troubleshoot.

My preference is fo OEM over upgrade but back up your data first of course. Can't guarantee everything (sw/hw) will work going from 32 to 64 bit but there are usually workarounds.

Best bet is to call HP. We just use it with the card from the camera.Happy New Year...

Yes. I use a Canon ink jet printer now, but I'd always used HPs before that. :)

not sure if compatible BUT most HP printers can be downloaded and installed on line at HP site

Affirming the HP praise here, I've worked with Lexmark and Epson "all-in-one's" with some success but the most head-ache-free experiences have been with an HP Laserjet and an HP All-in-one, both of which are currently connected as network printers from Linux machines that my wife and I use at home. Aside from most-favorable Linux compatibility experience with HP, service and durability have also been much better, thus far, than with my throw-away Epson and Lexmark printers. I don't work for HP but I admire their corporate stance in support of Linux compatibility.

HP DeskJet F4480 Inkjet All-in-One Printer (CB745A#B1H)When I purchased this printer I was under the impression that it would scan editable documents. However, the OCR software does not appear to be a part of the "Scan" package. It there anyway to add this software so that I am able to edit the documents that I scan?

Sounds like you loaded more than just the required drivers. Do you really want or need the optional software?

If you go to the HP website, you can download the driver, and printer software there for free. It would be better anyway, because you could get the newest driver for your operating system.

We purchased a HP Photosmart 7520 and it seems to be running just fine. It also prints photos, scans and has a fax capability. Hope this helps....
