I contacted an HP Technician via their website and ended up wasting the next hour+. Pros: The good news is that other manufactors sell scanners.Ĭons: This scanner was DOA out of the box. (Grandma with bad eyes settings) Newegg is probably dumping these headaches as fast as they can. Their answer to slow performance is to use very low quality settings.

After getting the product, I have also lowered my expectations of HP. Overall Review: Due to the price, I lowered my expectations and bought the scanner. For non negatives/slides the 4010 is no better than my old All-in-one psc1210. (I have 1.3G Free physical memory, 5G of swap, and 100G of defragged file space) I have not tried it on any non XP (SP3, latest updates both HP drivers and XP) systems. I have not been able to scan a negative at any quality setting over 1200dpi with 400% scaling without the programing telling me the system does not have enough memory resources. The drivers/software never uses much memory, disk, or CPU resources. Good thing it sits next to me at my home office where I can load it and forget it!Ĭons: To be honest, I can't get it to work anywhere close to how it's advertised and it may be sent back on sheer principle. The output with settings of 1200dpi with 400% scaling looks darned good, but each negative picture takes 15 minutes LOL. At the low quality default settings, it's fast enough.

I installed the latest versions from the software from HP website. The Newegg on sale plus promo for $70! I could not pass up the bargain. I bought this with pretty low expectations to begin with and strictly to scan old negatives and slides.
