Indeed so. I gave up on the HP scanner and the HP colour printer because the software was so awful. Gave 'em away. It took about two minutes from pressing the button to getting the scan - accompanied by all sorts of pictures of whirring cogs. The Agfa scanner just scans, with no faff. Sadly, Agfa got out of the scanner business, but my vintage one is still as good as anything I've seen.
It works flawlessly with Win 7, too.
The only niggle I have with Win 7 is that it doesn't work with my prehistoric SCSI card, so I can't use the SCSI CDRW or the older-still but even faster Agfa SCSI scanner.
