Just a heads up for all my friends here:

My boss picked up an HP ScanJet 4570C. I was not aware of this, but HP's new scanners come with this strange scanning software. It is written in Java and it runs in a web browser. Not to impressed with this, we discovered that there is a bug in this software that HP has acknowledged, but not fixed. The problem is that running the pre-scan/scan preview causes a script error. HP's solution? Disable the pre-scan and scan preview! But what good is a scanner withotu a preview?

He took it back and exchanged it for an Epson 1650 which cost 1/3 less and actually has REAL software written for it.
