As others have stated, drivers are the responsibility of the hardware
manufacturer and checking the HP site revealed they will not be supporting
your Scanjet 3200c in Vista.

That said, the above applies even to drivers supplied in the OS. If
hardware manufacturer's supply drivers in time for the release of the OS,
they are included, if not, they usually post information at their websites
about models that will be supported along with information those drivers are
currently in development.

The hardware manufacturer's know their devices and know what they want them
to do. Often, those functions are proprietary as they often provide a
multitude of features. Even when they only provide drivers of basic
functionality, how those functions are invoked and work are different from
device to device. Hence, it is necessary for the manufacturer's to provide
drivers for their supported devices.
