HP have pulled all their Win98 drivers from their web site and refuse to give them out any more. Does anyone have the HP Photosmart M517 USB driver?

An alternative is to obtain a SD memory card for the camera, then get an inexpensive usb card reader (usually less than $15.00) from ebay or store. When you insert the card, the photos will be written to it instead of internal memory. Just remove the card, insert it into the card reader slot and transfer the photos to the pc by dragggin and dropping. Here's a place to buy the SD card: (price: $8.51 for a 1 gb.)

And check ebay for the card reader. Internal and external models are available.

Thanks, Jerry. I was planning to do that anyhow, but it would have been nice to be able to use the camera without it. HP are, unfortunately, very evil this way.

I bought a 2GB SD card with card reader included for under $10 total.
