Fax & Scan

I answered my own question because no one else could ! I hope this is
helpful to others.

I contacted MS and they told me they had no list of scanners that work with
Fax and Scan.
I checked every common scanner and none of them specify being WIA compliant
I called / chatted / emailed many scanner companies but none knew the
answer. Typically sales sent me to tech support who sent me back to sales.

Finally, with a money back guarantee, I bought an HP Scanjet G4010. It
works. I don't know how well it will do with color, or if it will fight my
other programs, but at least its working with Fax and Scan !

It was available off the shelf at my local office supply store. Of course,
they didn't know if it would work or not

I'm using Vista Ultimate with Fax and Scan. It won't recognize my Canone
LIDE 30. All of my other programs that use the scanner do recognize it.

I am looking for a sure thing ... a scanner that will work with Ultimate's
Fax and Scan. I have heard that MS dropped TWAIN for this product and
uses a different methodology.

I did have a network All In One but had nothing with problems using it
with Vista. So now I'm thinking I'll just connect a scanner to the
computer.

I tried other software but I received a message that it couldn't access
the modem because it was in use by another program ( not the case ).

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I use vuescan for scanning and the fax feature in vista to do my faxing.
Vista ultimate will not use twain driver. Go to this link for vuescan
