Forget about the HP Photosmart, the way to do is with the Nikon and Vuescan, and
use the multiscan feature (experiment with number of passes). Output your files
in 48bit tif mode so that Photoshop has a chance of adjusting the levels..
expect some noise (grain) in the shadows. Adjust the brightness setting in
Vuescan until you get a decent looking histogram. Finalize all adjustments in
Photoshop.
I do astrophotography, every frame I take looks like what you describe (g)..
