The HP ScanJet 3200C is one of the best scanners out on the market today. With its affordable price and true scan technologies it is on my top ten list of essential computer accesories. Not to mention it is easy to use, and an effective tool for all ages ranging from 8 to 80. With its 30 bit scans it is truly able to capture the brillance of colors of a scanning subject. Using the HP ScanJet LT Software you are able to scan text,pictures and much more. You can also send it to any program on your computer capable of viewing an image file. Or you can convert it into a domument file and view it anywere on your computer. Using there proportions tool you are able to cut out sections of a picture and and send only needed parts, cutting down the amount of space needed on your hard drive, zip drive, CD-R, or floppy disk. So in closing the HP ScanJet 3200C is an all around versitile accesory at a low down to earth affordable price.

I've used this HP scanner to add pizazz to the pages on several professional websites and I am delighted with it. It was the easiest to install... follow the simple directions. Comes with Adobe PhotoShopDeluxe 2.0 image editor which also does a great job... and va voom... I am "pasting up" photos and graphics to spice up my site... and zooming up a photo album to share the news with family and friends accross the world

I recently bought this scanner and was scanning within 10 minutes of opening the box! It seemed to work fine, but the color quality was dull. I printed a few pictures and they didn't look like the originals, they seemed "washed out". The scanned in images came out lighter than the original picture.

I would have to say that this scanner has been causing me many headaches. it dosn't work properly and conflicts with everything! it made my computer stall for around 5 seconds every 10 mins and my printer printed out nothing it was suppoes to until i uninstalled the program and disconneted the scanner and everything worked fine. ( i tryed this on 4 computers and it did the samething on each one) the web site was a little less than worthless. the patches didn't work at all and one of the files they suggested to rename was not even on the hard drive. i would have to say this was a very bad buy..

It's easy to use. I have used several scanners and I like this one the best so far. Nothing really special about it, just the ease of it all.

The scanner arrived with a broken cd~rom..oh well stuff happens. I went to HP's web site and spent a half an hour trying to navigate through that mess and all I ended up with is a 1-900 # I had to pay for to have send me a new cd......3 weeks later and I am still waiting. Never again will I buy a HP product.

Be careful if you have an Office Jet 610 when you buy this product. The software is not compatible. You cannot print after you hook up the scanner. So far we have not found a good solution, so we have had to disconnect the flatbed scanner and cannot use it, which is very disappointing.

My scanner never worked. The software cannot find the scanner(or the connection.) I studied all the documentation and downloaded the fix program from hp's website, but it still doesn't work.(It was good that they have a "fix" program on their web site to fix this problem, but is it means that they know this product is not perfect?) The so called warrantee for the 3200 model is not protect me at all. No email support. Phone support cost me $2.5/Min by calling a 900 number. To get it repaired, you have to CALL the tech support($2.5/min) to convience them it was the hardware probelm(their problems), not other problems(my problems).... I gave up. and I will never buy any hp product any more.

Purchased the scanner on December 19, 1999 and have used it with success. No problem installing. I have duplicated photos with it and get very close color comparison. Get very good color if the picture is printed on a glossy surfaced photo paper with a good white-bright background. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced scanner.

I purchased this with price in mind. Oh my was I surprised that this inexpensive scanner ran circles around my much more expensive HP 5P scanner. Great buy, great scanner.
