Most helpful customer reviews 18 of 20 people found the following review helpful. Doesn't work on a MAC at all. Works intermittently on a PC By Alva R. Peach I spent three hours with HP technical support trying to make this thing work. The things they had me try were basic, like removing and then reinstalling cables, cycling power, and like. Gee why didn't I think of that? They blamed everything else but the scanner. When I refused to reinstall the hardware yet again, HPs solution was to request I buy a more expensive HP product. I remember when HP produced quality products. Not anymore! 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. HP scanjet 8300 By Kenneth E. Rogers We purchased this scanner for the purpose of scanning our slides and negatives. When we tried to scan, we kept getting an error message that stated the TMA adapter was not installed. I tried to solve the issue by using the online chat with HP. They stated that the product was over a year old and out of warranty and would not provide tech support unless we wanted to pay extra. We felt that it was unreasonable for HP to start the warranty from the time it was manufacured instead of the date we purchased it. If this had sold for under a $100, I could understand HP's reluctance in providing Tech support, but we payed a substantial amount of money for this. A few years ago HP was the BEST, but something has happend to the company. Not only do I not recomend buying this scanner but I do not recomend ever purchasing another HP product until their product quality and customer support improves. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. TMA Light Does Not Work By SonarAZ Tried to use the slide scanner for the first time. TMA light would not work. Received message that said it was not connected. It was connected. Checked the HP site for this scanner and the forum on the site indicated this is a major problem with the 8300. It also indicated that HP support is not very responsive to getting it fixed or replaced. The scanner does work fine to scan documents or pictures. If you think you will need to scan negatives or slides I recommend that you do not get the 8300. See all 12 customer reviews...
