printers scanners

printers and scanners

I hope this isnt a repeat
I need to start by saying that I have only been playing with computers for 2 years and have no training so if something I say sounds stupid it probibly is.
The Epson R220 printer works great on X86 using the XP drivers. It installed easy and works great.
I wish that I could say the same for scanners. I installed the HP scanjet 4670 using the XP drivers and the installation completed saying that everything installed but when I tried to use the scanner nothing worked. I had an icon for hp director on the decktop but it must have been corupt because it would only give a portion of the screen and stop. I played around it the search and found a shortcut for scanner setup and when I opened it I was able to set up the scanner minus the grayscale test. I then searched for the hp director and sent it to the desktop. This Icon worked. I can scan pictures but if I change the DPI setting off the default 200 the scanner freezes. I can use the document scan function and even though its default setting is 300DPI it works great and I have had no problem converting to word documents.
As a side note: Ive also got my Verizon Wireless card working. I had to update my Bios due to a confict with the PC5740. I kept getting fatal errors even in XP but working great for the past couple weeks.
If anyone has any suggestions on the scanner please let me know.
well next its TV Tuner.
