Just installed Panther and, for the most part, it works well and is
faster than the spotted cat. However, all is not well in pardise. I have
an HP scanner 3670 and Panther doesn't even see it, let alone run it. I
installed the software for it, but when I run it,Panther reports that it
can't see the scanner, which is hooked up via USB.

The same thing happens with my digital camera, a Samsung Digimax 130,
which used to work quite well with Jaguar. Is there a problem with USB
in Panther? How do I get these things to work?

I have a slot-loading iMac (DV I think) with a 400 MHz G3, 640 MB RAM
and a 20 GB HD.

VueScan seems to be pretty good for handling all sorts of scanners under
OSX and they are very receptive to any problems.

Is your scanner listed in System Profiler? Does HP say the current
driver is compatible with Panther?

I don't see this, or any Samsung, camera listed in Apple's iPhoto
compatibility listing. Were you using it with iPhoto in Jaguar or with
software provided by Samsung? If the latter, does Samsung say the
latest version is compatible with Panther?

Not that I'm aware of.

It shows up in System Profiler un the USB thingy, but when I fire up the
HP Scanjet software, it can't see the scanner.

Just got a letter back from support this aft and they said they were
working on new softwae for Panther, therefore the scanner is not compat
with Panther yet.

With jaguar, all I did was plug in the camera and iPhoto would start
automatically. There must be something about Panther that plugging in
the camera doesn't make anything happen, not even an icon on the desktop
I can open to view the photos. I'll vcheck their web site.

Thanks for you reply. :-)

Thanks for the tip, 'preciate it.

Thanks for the info. I have the same Mac set-up and am just getting used
to Jaguar. I was considering going to Panther, but I don't wnt to change
all my hardware. I shall now wait until version 10.3.29 arrives.

You don't need a single update from Apple to use your hardware, you need
updated drivers from the manufacturers. In this case, he's waiting for
HP to get its act together.

[GR] Panther is considered a majour upgarde, and some things just
won't work until either updated drivers are supplied, or the various
programs that don't work in Panther are updated.

So far, I've got about four of my favourite programs that don't run and
two pieces of hardware that aren't even seen by Panther. It's a good
thing I like OS 9 or I'd be pretty frustrated; but as it is, I'm having
fun using the old Mac OS.

I hear you. And for some reason HP software breaks more readily than
others when each new OS update comes along. I've had trouble with my HP
ScanJet 5370 software off and on since the day I bought the scanner
several years ago. Panther killed "HP Precision Scan Pro" (which never
worked all that reliably in the first place, often failing to recognize
the scanner upon launch). I have now switched to VueScan, and
everything is working fine, now. Hamrick posts a new version of VueScan
about once every 36 hours, so you know he's staying on top of changes.

[GR] So much for modern technology, eh? :o) Thanks for the tip, I'll
see about getting VueScan. Now I'll have to find put why Panther doesn't
see my digicam. With OS 9 it's all so simple: the scanjet works and when
I plug in my camera, OS 9 creates an icon on the desktop and I'm off the
the races. Oh well, enough bitching for now. <LOL>

Any way you can do what you want via Classic until HP and the camera maker
get updates out?

[GR] That's what I'm doing right now. In fact, when I was running
Jaguar, I often went back to OS 9 for days at a time, but I like gadgets
and novelties, so I'd eventually go back to the spotted cat. Maybe I
should stay with OS 9; this way it would give me HD space to install
Linux. I was a Linux user when I ran a PC, I've never much liked
Windows. In any event, have a good one. :o)
