When I upgraded from vista to Windows 7, I downloaded the new driver from the website for scanning. I was only using this for pictures until now so I did not notice that it did not seem to have the OCR element for scanning text. This week I have been trying to use it to scan editable text and found that this option is missing. The manual said that you should install this feature from your CD, so I reloaded the full driver from the website (as my CD is for the vista OS). This did not work and it STLL does not offer me the option to scan editable text. I tried to find the OCR componant seperately, but only found one for vista on the HP site,( which was not compatible - I tried to install this, but it would not load or work with my driver). I now seem to have 2 copies of the driver, both of which seem to work, and yet neither do charcter recognition, both offering me the same options ( pdf and all the other usual image formatts, but no OCR/text scanning). Does anyone know how to get this working? (I'm on 64 bit windows 7) and really need the feature now. Thank you.
