You can install the printer onto your system with the help of drivers which can be found online in any downlads website. I hope these links help you get started: http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDownload/Hp-scanjet-5200c-scanner-202-Download-1716.html http://driverscollection.com/?H=ScanJet%205200c&By=HP http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=61254&lang=en

Does the HP 5200c scanner work on vista?
YES, This is not a problem with the hp software or driver. The XP software and driver do work in Vista32. The problem is in the vista security settings for the scanner. I would recommend that you install the HP Precision scan software. Then click the start button, scroll up to the HP Precision scan folder. Right mouse click on the folder icon and select properties. Select the security tab. Use this tab to edit the "everyone" security properties to allow "FULL CONTROL". Check out this fantastic link to walk you through this: http://www.pixel2life.com/publish/tutorials/399/how_to_get_your_hp_scanjet_5300c_working_in_windows_vista/ If this does not work initially, you may need to uninstall the software, unplug the scanner and walk through this from the beginning. I personally have been successful with both the 5200 and 5300 scanners. Share this trick, I expect that this is the same issue with a number of XP issues when run under vista.
