Well, in HP's defense, they target their cameras completely to the consumer market. In other words, people who want to shoot a photo, bring it to their computer by any means they've been told to use and print/mail it. They don't need Photoshop and they wouldn't know how to use it. OTOH, I don't understand why you need a TWAIN driver at all. Can't you just connect your camera as a USB disk and download the pics to your disk where you can do whatever you want? Edit: From their site: "If the HP Image Zone software is not installed, the camera can still be used, but certain features will be affected." So, yes, you apprently can use it as a USB disk, but you won't be able to use Share and so on... BTW, I got a small HP photo scanner (got, not bought) which doesn't have a TWAIN driver. No, never and not possible. Just a horrible piece of their own software. Is it a wonder that I do not use it? :-)
