TSGL: Scanner cannot find Twain driver

with my own HP scanner driver - a full-fledged software guiding one 
through the process - I can set resolution for most scans, but not with 
OCR processes (character recognition, i.e. reading text), where it only 
accepts 300 dpi. Well, they let me change resolution, but immediately 
set it back to what they think is correct - without comment!

I'm sure that the HP people think this is top-notch technology - who 
needs a user interfering with what they consider the correct process !?

Strange anyway that your old driver should've stopped working 
appropiately, out of the blue ...

Thanks Tilman, I did as you suggested and searched for a new
driver.  Although it's an old scanner, there was in fact a newer driver,
which I didn't expect.

I downloaded it, uninstalled and unplugged the scanner, rebooted, and 
then
installed the new driver.

As you predicted, all is now well and scanning beautifully.  Although 
the
new driver GUI is nice and glossy, I don't think it has quite the
functionality of the older one. For example, the scanning resolutions 
are
all now auto, whereas previously I could select resolution manually.  It
clearly thinks it's now more intelligent than I am. Which may be
right.  Time will tell.
