comments:

HP TWAIN scanning products have been marred by inconsistent hardware quality and a patchwork of drivers. One of our customers described HP TWAIN drivers as "whimsical." There are indications that HP has made a new committment to high-quality TWAIN support, and we are cautiously optimistic that this will eventually result in better drivers and better experience in the field.

For now, while our software does work reasonably well with most HP models, we reluctantly recommend avoiding HP scanners for automated scanning applications.

issues: Numerous. When used from TWAIN, HP devices show amazing variation between models, and even between drivers. Nearly every HP TWAIN driver we have tested has had some severe problem or outright bug. Don't assume anything will work the way you expect - plan to verify each model, and each driver version.
features: See the scanner table or contact Dosadi support.
