Summary: Good Product
Review: I had a old scanner (parallel). So you can have an idea about how I felt about this HP scanner: Fast, USB Port doesn't stop your PC all the time, good resolution for my Home and Office needs... everything I need!

Summary: Too bad it's bundled with Adobe Activeshare
Review: I had this nifty scanner up and running in 20 minutes - and exported my pictures to the Adobe Activeshare it came with. All went well until I attempted to e-mail the photos (which was my main purpose!). I encountered the infamous "49%" error - I say infamous, because I found at least 100 people have posted the same problem on Adobe's message board! With no response from Adobe!Of course, it's entirely possibe to save your photos to a file and attach them to your outgoing mail, which is exactly what I finally did. But I wish I hadn't wasted hours trying to get Adobe to work properly. HP should re-think their agreement with Adobe here. It made for a unpleasant experience with an otherwise fine product.

Summary: The best cheap scanner available... maybe
Review: I have bought 3 of these for family and friends. I tried to buy another one for chrismas 2002 but office depot inexplicably cancled the order with no notice of why. The first 3 were bought direct from amazon.
The scanner is kinda slow but does very good scans. HP has not improved their ability to write drivers or install programs but
cannon and xerox are not any better. You will have a half dozen TSR's/systray items sucking up resources but the savvy user can use msconfig to trim the footprint when not in use. Can't beat it for the price, therefore I figure HP will quit making it pretty damn soon.

Summary: suits me just fine!
Review: I needed a copier/scanner for use at home, and this was a perfect selection. The price was reasonable, and I make copies of bills and other literature that prevent me from taking them to work or to the library, saving lots of time. The hook-up was very easy, and the software setup was the quickest I've experienced when adding hardware. Much recommended!

Summary: Simple but Efficient
Review: I'm an engineer. I bought an HP Scanjet 2200C for my 5-year old daughter to use in school. I singled out Scanjet 2200C from my other choices because it was an HP, "Designed for Windows XP," a newer model, and priced low. I liked the neat, careful way HP packaged the product: artful and without the usual clutter on the outside. Inside the box, I found the scanner snugly fit. The lid is key-locked against movement during transport. I knew beforehand that this scanner included only the elements: LTX Precisionscan (scanning software) and I.R.I.S. OCR (text recognition software.) I found no occassion yet to use Adobe ActiveShare and the HP Copy Utility. But what it does have, it does quite well. I thought the scanned image looked brighter, sharper, and livelier on the computer than on the original photo. The OCR may lack advanced features. But the mere fact that I can easily scan and EDIT documents with it was already a big help in my technical reports. On my Windows XP computer, the LTX software installed seamlessly. It's interface is clean and simple. Though the 2200C doesn't have an ON/OFF switch my PC does NOT automatically turn ON the scanner UNLESS I clicked the LTX program first. What's more, after the scanner has been idle for about 10 minutes, Windows XP AUTOMATICALLY turns it OFF. I checked by lifting the lid to see the light. The lid can be removed to scan thicker objects and it's no big deal putting the lid back. I don't know how fast scanners ought to be. If this was slow, I didn't notice. I don't have problems with it since I bought it a month ago. It came with one year local warranty. I'm keeping the box in any case. Just about the only gripe I can say is that it can't accomodate legal size paper (which I rarely use anyway.) This is my family's first scanner and we're happy it does what it says. There are plenty of scanners out there. I'm sure one would closely meet your requirements. This elegant little machine did for me. Good luck!

Summary: Mine came pre-broken
Review: I'm not a computer guru or anything like that. I needed a scanner and I saw this had two good qualities. It was an HP and it was pretty cheap. It totally fills my needs. Sure if you are someone whose main goal in life is to use your scanner, this might not suit you. But for someone like me, who might use a scanner once or twice a week this was perfect, almost too good.

Summary: Very nice scanner
Review: I've owned this scanner for almost two years and has worked perfectly for everything I scan. Never a glitch. Unfortunately I'm now needing one that will scan negatives and slides as well. I wish they were as cheaply priced as this one was. For a first time user, you can't go wrong in buying this little workhorse.

Review: Mine was basically useless right out of the box. It could only produce horribly warped images. Customer service was knowledgeable and friendly and the return to the store was trouble-free. It wasn't a terrible experience but I won't buy another.

Review: My granddaughter gave me her unused scanner, hp 2200c, but has lost the software. How do I find an installation disk? I'll be glad to purchase what's needed. Thanx, Bill
