I have an old deskjet F2290 attached to an old windows XP laptop. This used to print and scan fine. Last year I bought a newer HP deskjet 2130 and installed its HP software on top of the old printer, as recommended to me at the time
now I realize that the new HP solution centre installed doesn't work very well with the old printer. When I try to scan a document on the F2290, the only option that appears is "scan to TIFF" (or jpg), nothing with PDF.
How do I scan to PDF?
thanks

thank you for the information. I installed both these 2 extensions. The official HP extended scan doesn't offer me the option to SCAN. It says press the scan button but there's no such thing!? Just a list of scan shortcuts, and as for buttons there's just one that says CREATE NEW SCAN SHORTCUT. The HP solution centre doesn't list any of these extended shortcuts
as for NAPS2, it requires .NET v4. The said laptop has version 3.5. Are you sure it is going to work if I get v4?
