Syndacate,
A post to fix your problem was added, it appears that it stayed in the draft area and was not fully uploaded, i had been up for 28 hours when posted last evening. (Place Foot In Mouth And Insert Here.... Sir or Madam)
Let's get something perfectly clear, You are not special, Your are not entitled and no one owes you a thing, Review these posts on this Forum and you see we help each other in the way we can, It was answered, it just was caught in the Draft area, Jump the gun and get the Bullet.
I have better things to do then to Nurse Maid a Self Absorbed Spoiled Brat as you are, Both my children are in there late teens and have better respect skills then you would ever hope to have.
Get rid of the Me- Me- Me attitude, And pick up a book & get some professional help.
Learn how you are to act on the Net and in Forums when posting in a Discussion area and learn the difference , Looks like you need allot of help in the self Respect and Respect of others field.
Or, are you;
Just one of those Pi*-
'ed , Windows convert users and are still mad at Microsoft and Company for your bad experiences.
I would expect this attitude from a Tipped off over worked Blue screened Windows Junky, But not a Mac User.
"I Have Windows Based Pc's also, And they get Me Angry, Sometime it rubs off"
Draft post deleted, Look Somewhere else to try and spread you Bad Attitude, there are allot of great people on the MacRumors Forums, Learn how we Respect each other, But you start an attack, be prepared for one, take your rant to Digg, It's more appropriate on there Platform, Not Here.
With That Said,
Have a great Day "
Get Well Soon"

Kilamite,
Hope the info helped with your problem, at least that post made it up
.
Peace,

You got things so ass backwards I don't even know where to begin...
I suppose I can start with your MS user assumption. If you want to talk about getting things straight then allow me to straighten them for you. I'm a software engineer, I probably use more different operating systems on a daily basis than you've ever used in your entire life. OS X, Vista, XP, and Solaris are sure-fires on every day - and Ubuntu is my daily personal OS - and that's nowhere near including all the other crap I use not so daily. So this isn't MS syndrome - nothing like it.
It's simply me, asking a question, trying to get an answer. I don't think I'm special, or anything of the sort. Though yes, typically, a question asking for help, would be about "me" - so sure, why not, I'll say that, "me me me" - whatever floats your boat chief. Because if you look at this realistically (and you're not), the person that's asking for help, is basically who its about. Though I suppose that makes sense in some sorta sick way, I'm not special, never said I was, but it seems you do need to be special to get an answer to things that are tech related in this forum...
You keep talking about something stuck in the draft area...In all my time working with forums I've never seen a post "get stuck half way" - nor know any reason why it should. Must be a VB thing or something.
But obviously you know more than me, so maybe you could tell me how to move it the other half of the way so I can see it? Probably not.
Also, MS doesn't "randomly bluescreen" as many people (mostly main mac users) tend to believe. The BSOD is usually a hardware error, or a driver error, and if you're using the computer correctly, you usually have neither. I don't even recall the last BSOD I saw, but that's not MS, that's simply what somebody knows about the computer and the OS that's on it.
I didn't "attack" anybody, not sure who's ass you pulled that one from. Yes, I was slightly miffed by somebody responding to something that had
absolutely, 100%, no relation to what I was talking about.
Oh,
you deleted the post that nobody else could see, I see, yeah, makes sense, this way you're not just punishing me, you're punishing anybody that has this could potentially help. Yeah, that makes complete sense.
As far as your kids go, aside from the obvious part (that I have no reason to care about them, and likewise for you if I had kids), let me give you some probably much needed advice: They probably make up for all this "e-respect" with absolutely no testicular fortitude. That's the common trend amongst overly respective people, and it'd be stupid to think your kids are any different.
*sigh*
Oh well, now that I told you what you most certainly don't want to hear (don't worry, most people tend to run from the truth), you'll jump right for that ban button, and that'll be that for a good, solid 45 seconds until I reset my IP and create another account. Though you'll get your way, as you said, you "don't have time to be a nurse maid." I mean I suppose it's a win/lose situation really, on one hand there's a theoretical post that answers my question, but only you've seen it, and on the other hand there's nobody here that seems to know anything about anything regarding this issue, so the invisible post is the most reliable. Talk about suck (right) - though even if this imaginary post did exist, you wouldn't give it back anyways, so whatever.

I literally just installed the HP software for the first time today, (needed to scan something to pdf also). Anywho, I know exactly what you are talking about. As far as I know, you won't be able to use the "Import Image" button in preview, These Photosmart printers don't seem to understand TWAIN or something. I can't even get Image Capture to see it. But this workaround works just fine:
To use the front panel button to scan to PDF automatically and open in preview:
1. Open HP Photosmart Studio
2. Click on "Devices" next to the search bar
3. Click on information and settings and choose scan prefrences
4. Choose "Front Panel" and select "PDF to Preview"
5. Check "Skip Scan Preview Window"
I Hope this helps!
Thanks for the idea - but I think ur missing my goal just a bit. I already found that way - but that's using the HP super studio to enter it into preview, which is kind of redundant from there - I might as well just select "PDF File" and save it. My goal with preview was not simply just to open it, but with preview's "import image" feature, when it's available, will scan the image directly into preview, where it can then be saved as a .PDF file.
This circumvents all of HP's super studio software there, which is my goal. I didn't want the end result to be in preview, I simply wanted the HP suite not to be used in there - at all - and there is a way around it.
The way you described is how I've been doing it, either this or just open "HP Scan Pro" in quiksilver (skips the other crap). Though importing an image via preview is still the fastest and most direct way.
There's also another problem with that method: For some odd reason the Photosmart Studio thinks its smart in this "auto crop" crap - so it randomly decides a certain part of the page that it thinks was your goal to scan - and only scans that.
So I haven't been able to find an "off" button for this stupid feature, so I haven't been able to skip the scan preview b/c I need to pull the crop to the edges in there
.
Thanks anyways for the suggestion though, that's pretty much all I can do until I find out how to get through preview.
Since you suggested this way I'm assuming you may be having the same problem (or that could be a bad assumption). If this thread's not locked I'll post it here, if it is I'll PM you the how-to for it.
PS: Yeah, I was fighting with SANE TWAIN crap trying to get it to work, also. Yeah, ImageCapture doesn't recognize the device, but it shows up, and prints to it fine, and as far as the "import image" button goes, yeah, you can use it that way, I've done it before =).
