While
HP was a founding member of the TWAIN Working Group, and has always
supported TWAIN, their scanning products have been marred by inconsistent
hardware quality and a patchwork of TWAIN drivers. More than half
of our field problem reports are with HP scanners, and they behave
less consistently than any other brand we work with. One of our customers accurately described HP TWAIN drivers as "whimsical."
So while our software does work reasonably well with most HP
models, we reluctantly recommend avoiding HP scanners for automated
scanning applications. |

| issues: |
Numerous.
When used from TWAIN, HP devices show amazing variation between models,
and even between drivers. Nearly every HP TWAIN driver we have tested has had some severe problem or outright bug. Don't assume anything will work the way
you expect - plan to verify each model, and if practical each
driver version. A number of HP-branded scanners appear to be manufactured
by other companies. |
