HpScanner Question

[cristyna77]

A friend of ours manage to break 2 of our scanners and wanted to rectify the situation by buying us another scanner. A computer bud of hers gave her a HP Scanjet 4100c flatbed scanner and she gave us our "new" scanner-WITHOUT the software or either of the USB and AC power cord. We have a universal USB we can use, but the question we have is whether or not a Universal AC adapter (at the correct voltage), will work ok with the scanner. The specs on the bottom of the scanner say it requires a 30VDC/400mA voltage adapter which we should be able to find at RadioShack.

So are we SOL, or will it work?

Eagerly awaiting a response,

It should but you'll want the drivers for this. Look here

Right on! Found the software AND drivers I need for the scanner.

Thanks a bunch for the speedy response!

FWIW, I don't think you'll find that power supply at RS, 30V seems like an odd-ball voltage for most generic supplies. I'd bite the bullet and get it from HP.

Will order from the Hp site then.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the delayed reply.
