my mom's old scanner used something called "paperport" - http://www.scansoft.com/paperport/standard/

and HP all-in-ones use somethign called O.S.I.R.I.S in conjunction with some in house GUI

There is a driver and firmware update - it says to load the driver then update firmware.

I would expect it to then be available under Windows Xp "Scanner and camera Wizard"

Many photo edit programs also have scanner support - the interoperability provided by TWAIN, means that in general, any program capable of aquiring an image through TWAIN, can support any device capable of providing it through a TWAIN compliant driver.
Some to try are (free) www.photofiltre.com

Looks like there is a procedure to use the supplied software with the downloaded driver - read carefully!

XP's built in scanner/camera drivers are poor at best...fair warning
