Windows VM [java] & HP 1210 psc script erorrs

[Dodge7]

I got an HP 1210 psc about a year ago. The scanner worked fine until I moved from IE 5.5 to IE 6. Then I started gettting script errors. I got a newer HP driver and that seemed to fix the problem [but then I had other issues, like the program wouldn't start].

I now have Win 2000. I can't run the scanner function at all. HP has all sorts of solutions... most that don't work.

Recently I read a post that claims to solve the problem once and for all. The OS was Win 98 though... What they say is that Microsoft left out the VM [Vritual Machine] Java, and that needs to be replaced. Also, I'll need to replace a program called DAC 8? .

Can anyone explain to me why this would work and would it work with Windows 2000 instead of 98? I've had this scanner for a year and it only worked right for a few months or so.

Are you using the same driver for Win2k that you did on the old OS (Win98)? If so it will not work. You need a driver for Windows200 or whatever OS you have to get it to work. Unfortunately with HP, that means buying the driver CD.

The Win2000 package for this one is downloadable - 166mb.
