   For what it's worth I have an H.P. scanjet 4890 photo scanner   
   (negatives) that tells me it is not compatible with "This version" of   
   windows. It does work fine in XP though, and HP is not updating the   
   software, as if I would buy anything from them again, no support.   
   Windows 7 does have a built in driver for the scanner itself but HP   
   seems to think that by not supporting the scanjet I will run out and buy   
   another. Never gonna happen.
