I have recently bought a new computer (64-Bit) with VISTA on it and I cannot scan. It tells me that I must "Install or run HP Software for this feature". The Software that came with my printer only goes up to XP. How do I get software that will go with my printer and Vista so that I can scan. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
