This is a long shot, but here goes...

I have an HP scanner that came with some software I don't like at all. I
would like to write my own dotnet program. What is required? I suppose I
would need some sort of component (HP proprietary) to get started. Would HP
make such a component accessible for us? What can I do?

Thanks.
