I'm not trying to print to PDF.

I'm trying to scan to PDF from an HP 3200m laserjet printer.

I tried all the scan2pdf programs listed but none worked because none
could
find the printer as a scanner.

Each time they asked to select the scanner device, they all hung and did
not see the printer.

Funny though. The printer works fine as a printer so it's connected to the
WinXP PC by the serial port.

I wonder if there is some trick to get the Windows XP PC to recognize the
HP 3200m printer as a scanner?
