Need a real geek for this one, 'cause I can't even get decent answers from Monsieur Google.
I can't stand the basic, no-frills scanner driver that comes with 8.1/10. I want to use the older driver that was made specifically for my HP scanner and worked fine for years, through all incarnations of Windows.
Latest version was published in 2006 but supposedly works with 8.1 and even 10, but it won't install, because "it was not better than the software you have currently installed." Even if I could get an unpacked version of it, I wouldn't know how to force Windows to use it, since it doesn't think anything is missing.
Help!
