Driver for Scanjet 3980 using Win7 Home 64bit is no longer available via HP.
I've tried a couple independent driver suppliers but they load my system with PUPs and want to charge $ to actually (maybe) supply a driver.
I am looking in the wrong place(s).
Solutions?
Suggestions?
thanx.

I don't want to sound like a wise guy but maybe its time to give it up and go for something that is compatible. The "old reliable" may still work but at some point it becomes obsolete.

I did exactly that and got the message that it was not available any longer.
Thanks for suggesting it. I think a new/more recent scanner is in my future,

You can usually get a printer-scanner-copier at Walmart.com for $30 to $35. You just missed a great deal - I got the Canon PIXMA MX490 printer-scanner-copier AND fax, with automatic document feeder for $35! I bought one a month ago. It's a really nice machine. And it scans in Linux Mint! You have to go to Canon Asia to get the Linux scanning software, but it works.
