question aobut HP 4750c scanner

[howldog]

Hi

I'm using an HP scanner in a windows ME system. Normally i use Twian
Acquire in Adobe Photoshop to aquire the scanner, then color correct
the scanned image.

This works well, but, the original scan, from the HP, is always
oversaturated, too hot, especially in the magenta range. A histogram
in Photoshop shows the original scan to have wild peaks in all three
RGB channels.

Does anyone know if there is some sort of utility to "force" the
scanner to "calibrate"? Or, am i missing something in the ScanJet
software itself?

I had a similar problem with a Canon CLC-10 after a few years.
It turned out that aging had changed the spectral quality of
the lamp, and replacing it was more expensive than the machine
was worth (especially since Canon never produced Windows95 or
WindowsNT drivers for the beast, leaving this hapless CLC-10
user with the need to maintain a crashing Windows 3.11 desktop).
