ADF Is Terrible.......2007-03-09

This scanner is a mediocre flatbed photo scanner. It's strong point is that it is a document scanner with a duplexer adf. Forget it. The ADF is terrible. It jams easily, and you cannot get inside the ADF to clear out the paper. It also feeds two pages at once, which also jams the scanner.

DON'T get this one.

Awesome except for ADF problems.......2006-10-25

When it works, it's pretty good...but the ADF jams a LOT, and it accidentally grabs two pages instead of one a LOT. Finally, the scans are a little washed out/overexposed. I must believe there is a better product out there, even if it's $2000...

A very solid scanner.......2006-01-22

I recently purchased my HP scanner from an online discount house. Unfortunately, the scanner arrived without software or a printed User Manual. However, rather than get upset, I decided to assemble the scanner (which took 1 minute). I then went to the HP website and immediately found and downloaded the software & device drivers. After installation, I attahed the USB cable, plugged in the power cord and, after a few seconds I was scanning documents at blazing speed. I was even more impressed because I am using a rather outdated PC running Windows XP with 512M RAM. Yet the scanner runs flawlessly, and the document feeder NEVER jams - which a very important consideration. I am thrilled with this HP product. The software could be a bit more user friendly, so I will only give it 4 stars.

I don't usually write product reviews, but I was very confused when researching scanners on the internet. Concerning scanners, there are a lot of conflicting user reviews and I wanted to report my experience with this particular product to balance out the negative reports from others.

Pittiful OS X Support.......2006-01-07

When is HP going to figure out that this is not 1998 and the Mac platform is not dying, and in fact growing faster than the rest of the industry.

I agree with the other comments that the OS X support on this product is the bare minimum to legally say it is compatible. In the real world, I am not pleased.

I love HP and like a lot of their products. But OS X software has to stop being and after-thought. If HP continues with the poor support, I might as well go with the cheaper Dell and get the same level of attention.

NOTE TO HP: Most people who make their money in the creative field, and buy high end scanners and printers use the Mac. Get with it and know your target customers.

A good, solid product, but . . ........2003-09-08

Don't believe HP's claim that the 8290 is "network ready". I was disappointed to learn, after I purchased mine, that the scanner cannot be accessed over our network, because our operating system is not NT4. If you use Win98, Win2000, or WinXP, forget the network feature.
Other than that bit of false advertising, I have no complaints. The hardware and software work smoothly and efficiently, and the 25 pages per minute claim is achievable, but only when scanning to a file, which is the best procedure anyway.
