Jake, Just wanted to get back to you and the list that the drivers included with SL for at least the HP Office Jet 7650 I have allows for scanning using Image Capture and having that image funneled to Read Iris or ABBYY and I imagine any other OCR software. So, for folks like myself using a net

I purchased AbyyFine yesterday. It does a great job converting PDF documents to text, but I've been having a problem when I try to do OCR from a scanned document. I tell the program that I want it to get the document from my scanner, and then I think it is the Twain driver window comes up. It
