Hi Annie, I am planning to try fine reader soon, i have a scanjet5590 and I know hp had drivers for at least snow leopard so I am hopeful it will work with finereader natively. I hope that it also works with its sheetfeeder because my scanner can natively scan 50 pages through its sheetfeeder and it automatically scans both sides of the page. I really hope that we will see the pro 10 version of finereader for the mac soon. Greetings, Anouk, On Sep 7, 2011, at 2:02 PM, Annie Skov Nielsen wrote:
