Default How do you create a PDF by copying a page in an HP printer/copier?

A later poster mentioned potential problems with download managers.

| HP support site!

| Trying every single torrent and rapidshare in that thread, this one finally
| worked on the 3rd try to download the original HP TWAIN drivers in a 271
| Mbyte zip file.

| One problem is these TWAIN drivers are from 2000 and my printer was bought
| new in 2001 for $650 (which was a lot of money for a B&W printer in those
| days) but at least the scan2pdf freeware now recognizes the scanner!

| I don't yet have the scanning to PDF working but I'm hoping I can report it
| working soon.

| In hind sight, if I had known how impossible it is to obtain HP drivers, I
| would have put the original HP CDROM in a safety deposit box so that it
| could be used after multiple PCs and moves occurred since 2001.

| Lesson learned!

There 'ya go.

That 270MB installer is the complete package to allow the OS to scan and print.
There is NO reason to go into the BIOS, you problem is purely a software problem realted
to your HP hardware.
