Has anyone had success with running the Scanjet 5470c on Windows 7? If so, how??
Better download the latest driver for your scanner from the hp's website and while selecting the new driver you have to specify that you are using windows 7 and also specify if it is 32 bit or 64 bit you will get the driver , install it and connect the scanner it will work ..... thats all....
I have got mine working using XP mode. XP mode is set up to run as 32 bit on a 64 bit Windows 7 install and with this the standard windows XP drivers work fine.
It is a bit of a convoluted solution, but at least you can get scans off it.
Here are a few hints :
Make sure driver XP ( yes , XP ) is correctly installed . Then , go to http://download.cnet.com/FreeKapture/3000-2094_4-10673689.html and install FreeKapture , it's free .
Load FreeKapture , clic on Scan and select WIA Hewlett-Packard . Scanner works fine in this mode . If you choose HP PrecisionScan Pro , program will hang .
In any case , no slides or negatives scans possible but the rest works .
If you have the W XP install disc , you could install a virtual version of W XP on your HDD ( http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/desktop_downloads/vmware_player/3_0 ) You could also partition your HDD ( http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html ) and install W XP on the new one . Otherwise , you will have to buy a new scanner , what you probably already have done .

Thanks for your reply however the option to choose Windows 7 for this scanner is not there at the HP site. I have tried the versions for Vista and XP and have had no luck. Even HP support could not help me.
Was wondering if anyone had found a work around.
