In order to give a quick one post information regarding compatibility of HP Scanjet Scanner products with Windows 7 and the availability of software and driver downloads for Scanjet scanners, I reformatted the below categorization table with the download link of windows 7 drivers For HP Scanjet Scanners.
Through the below chart you can check whether the windows 7 drivers for your scanner and also the compatibility with windows 7. As Per HP(Hewlett Packard) Software and drivers for below listed products will be available as part of the Windows 7 operating system, on Microsoft’s Windows® Update, or as a download from hp.com.

I realize it takes time and money to update the software to work with Windows 7, but why would I buy another HP scanner when it may have to be scrapped because HP stops supporting it? My 4200C still works like new, but I have to keep an XP computer around just to use the scanner. The Windows compatibility settings are no help.
ReplyDeleteI agree with 100%. HP's lack of support for my scanner 5500c forced me to but an Epson scanner. No more HP scanners for me ever!!!
DeleteMaybe you have a solution, vuescan picks up the scanner, windows device manager sees it (gonna assume after vuescan has been installed) however I cannot find a way for WIA to see it or photoshop to use any deskscan or precicion scan. Scanner is a HP 4p scanjet and an adaptec card. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI am pretty majorly upset by the number of *not* supported scanners, vs. the relatively few which are supported.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that Microsoft is supporting some rather old HP printers, like my 1120c, in Windows 7, but not equally old HP scanners.
Yea, as mentioned, I could throw away my perfectly good scanner, and buy a new one (but certainly not another HP, I learned my lesson!), but that doesn't seem quite right.
Why oh Why no Windows 7 drivers for perfectly usable scanners? Mine is a 4200C with lots of life in it. It certainly won't do any good for HP sales as we wil not be getting another one!
ReplyDeleteHP Sucks!!! Both my HP Scanjet 4850 AND HP Laserjet 2600n do not have Windows 7 drivers. Therefore I will NEVER buy another HP Product ever again.
ReplyDeletePlz do not buy a hp scanner ..,...that product can,t work on windows 7..,//
ReplyDeleteSame here, two HP 5400C scanners and recent upgrade to W7. They no longer work. No drivers.
ReplyDeleteHP has missed the boat on this one. The new scnners will be some other brand.
Ich brauch treiber für HP scanjet 5530 windos 7,für windows vissta gibt es und aktiviert nicht.
ReplyDeleteI have a Scanjet 3300C which was working perfectly until I installed Win7, and now it is impossible to get a driver that will make it work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a poor driver support HP, I will reward you by not buing another of your products.
One thing is to have basic drivers, which makes it a pain to use the scanner. Another is to have the real drivers. If you buy a Super car and then the engine stops working, you will not be happy if the maker gives you a 1000cc engine to use on it and tells you , look you cars works....I have a perfect good scanner, 3970, and now I will have to scrap it, as HP does not have drivers for it for win 7. This just mean 1 thing, bye bye HP, hello Canon.
ReplyDeletewhy i can't download windows 7 driver for 5530 ?
ReplyDeleteThere is a trick to make the 4470c work with Wia but what a pitty for the rest !
ReplyDeleteSearch for the file: hpsjiip-vista.zip. And do the device driver update via Device manager. With search my computer using the directory where you unpacked it.

Buyer beware: HP doesn't support growing technology, like Windows 7. But does puts its time and energy into creating extra crap to fling all over your system when you install their software. An online source suggested installing HP Solution Center as a way to to deal with this scanner software conflict. The confict was not resolved, but I got a lot of add-ons like a Yahoo tool bar added IE, HP Updater (not that crap again), a feature to make web printing better, and more, without giving me the choice. I immediately unistalled all of it and started researching Epson scanners online.
ReplyDeleteSucceeded to make 4470c run under Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit in WIA mode ( officially impossible ). No big deal . Works fine with free third party applications such as FreeKapture .
ReplyDeleteMany are those who have a Win XP install disc . Download VMware Player from http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ and install with ease a virtual XP OS .
ReplyDeleteFanaudi .
Ok, No problem there, used VMWare many a time -- but wait! What's this? Driver fails to install? on a fresh version of XP SP3???
DeleteThat's right campers, you have a very large doorstop or a kilo of poisonous industrial waste with an HP.
Ease....hah!
I have an very old 4c with a SCSI connection. I use an Adaptec AHA 2940UW/B SCSI card with the vista driver, and an XP driver for the 4c (scanjet4c sj166en.exe) which I think I got from CNET.
ReplyDeletehttp://download.cnet.com/sj166en-exe/3000-2110_4-113560.html.
The scanner seems to work better than it did with XP!
I have a perfectly good 4600 scanner that won't work with the default Windows driver. While I've used and liked HP products in the past, it's lake of support like this that causes me to take a serious look at the competition.
ReplyDeleteIf you have two good scanners to buy and one manufacturer supports it on a new operating system and the other doesn't, it makes the decision to buy pretty easy.
They did same with CD burners back in the day when they were really expensive. I'm a hardware technician and I steer away all my clients from their products telling them why they should not buy HP. Do the same, tell everyone you know, they'll be next asking for govenment bailout money.
ReplyDeleteGo into device driver and the scanner is shown though not working. Click on drivers update through internet and it works. Just scanned a doc on my hp laptop win7 64 with my scanjet 3500c.
ReplyDeleteAbove this topic or here is the list of compatible or not compatible HP scanners under VISTA/Windows 7
ReplyDeletehttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01296655&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=&product=407833
Scanjet 3500c is compatible but many others are not .
My perfectly good Scanjet 4600, under Windows 7, is now a good doorstop thanks to HP's non-support. NEVER again will I buy any HP product.
ReplyDeleteScanjet 4600 should run under Windows 7 . Open Device Manager , find device and update driver via Internet
ReplyDeleteI have a Scanjet 4p that I used with my XP system. With the upgrade to Windows 7 that was the ONE thing that would not migrate. I can understand from a consumer standpoint how hardware companies would want people to replace their old $100 scanner with a new $100 scanner every few years, but a commercial scanner that is well built and still does a good job despite it's age? I have to throw a perfectly good scanner out the window because the company cannot provide some simple files? Like you all said, invest in another company, not Cannon either since they are no better at supporting Windows 7.
ReplyDeleteI must agree with the majority of the comments on this site. HP SUCKS! I recently upgraded my computer system which came with Windows 7. As a result my $200 HP ScanJet 4980 has been reduced to a $50 scanner. All the abilities for scanning negatives/slides, scan to print/email, gone. Thank you HP!.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded the drivers from HP but that is all you get. They haven't bothered to upgrade the fully functional software to be compatible with Windows 7. I called the support and they wanted $25/hr to provide assistance (mine is out of warranty). I figure it would $25/hr to tell me "can't help you". This is the only HP product I have ever purchased and will never again.
I checked into Vuescan. Beware, it will not enable the ability to scan negatives/slides in the 64-bit version of Windows 7 (which I have) but apparently is fully functional in the 32-bit version.
Guess I'll be recruiting a Monk when I need a copy made.
Some Scanjets won't work with ScanView if the Hp driver doesn' t work properly . It's the case with my 4470c and one can find confirmation on ViewScan' s site . There are 2 solutions available for those who have the W XP install disk :
ReplyDelete1° install on the Windows 7 HDD a virtual version of Windows XP ( for instance with Wmare Player from http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ )
2° create a partition on the W 7 HDD and install W XP there or install w XP on a second intern drive .
Correction : Some Scanjets won' t work with VueScan ( not Scanview ) ... My apologies for this lapsus .
ReplyDeleteI along with probably everyone else who purchased a scanner in the days of xp am NEVER going to purchase another product from HP. Their policy of not supporting a product when you have a newer IS is pathetic and unprofessional. The ONLY reasons to have a scanner not work (especially if it is USB compatible) is 1. If we don't use USB connections and 2. If the scanner broke. (lights won't come on. Does't go backwards and forwards)
ReplyDeleteHP WAKE UP. I am an IT professional/consultant and I am telling people NOT to buy your products as you don't support them with updates. I have a scanner and printer that are no longer listed.
can someone eventually give us the name of a scanner made 8 or 10 years ago by another manufacturer than HP that's still runs under Windosw 7 ?
ReplyDeleteThere should be a national boycott of HP scanners over this. Why would HP not provide a driver?
ReplyDeleteWhen I bought my new Hewlett Packard computer, it had Windows 7 on it. Given that, why would HP not make sure all their scanners are compatible?
ReplyDeleteSame story, perfectly good 2100C nonfunctional in Windows 7. No more HP products for me, ever, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI have tried this download and I can;t get the set up to run....Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteI have an very old 4c with a SCSI connection. I use an Adaptec AHA 2940UW/B SCSI card with the vista driver, and an XP driver for the 4c (scanjet4c sj166en.exe) which I think I got from CNET.
http://download.cnet.com/sj166en-exe/3000-2110_4-113560.html.
The scanner seems to work better than it did with XP!
After researching a lot on compatibility before I tried installing my Scanjet 4500c on Windows 7, I came to the conclusion it wasn't supported, including the HP ste not having a driver for it. I was able to install it as normal without any problems at all!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to recant that statement. After it working perfectly the first time, I was never able to use it again without errors and the scanner hardware crashing. I'm not sUre how it could have operated fine the first time and then subsequently not.

September 13, 2010 7:42 PM
Are you really telling me that I am to bye a new scanner now that I've got Windows 7? Why then isn't it written on the cover, like hey people, get rid of that old crap because we don't want to support you with new new software? Microsoft was sued many times for making people do things and bye products without an alternative, may be it is your turn now...
ReplyDeleteHP Scanjet 5400c Scanner series - notwork with Win7, help me)
ReplyDeleteI have HP ScanJet4200c scanner. It worked fine until I install win 7. I was looking for driver and software for win 7 but no luck. What a garbage piece this scanner is. HP need to be update the software and driver every time when a new operating systems come. This is the way HP can survive in the IT world. If you don't have the software developers, hire unemployed software developers like me. Or go to India or China for cheap developers.
ReplyDeleteScanjet 5400c should work in WIA mode under Windows 7 . I have model 4470c and use the same XP driver as for 5400c and it works in WIA mode with HP Pavilion W7 32-bit .
ReplyDeleteMy scanjet 3300c will not work with Windows 7 either. Sorry HP, you lost my future business (and I probably have another 30-40 yrs of purchase potential). CYA
ReplyDeleteGot the 5470C working under windows 7, when installing drivers an error occured, but it later had the exclamation mark removed and then installed the HP software but choosed not to install the unsignded drivers, working like a charm.
ReplyDeleteMy perfect and well maintained HP Scanjet 2200c no longer supports Windows 7. Im a person who takes care of all my gadgets and suddenly knowing that my new both Windows 7 does not support my HP Scanjet 2200c. This makes me angry!
ReplyDeleteI have 10 scanners 5400c and nothing works, HP NEVER AGAIN!!
ReplyDeleteoh well - to join the gang, 10 years of my beloved 4200c - now no longer functional under win 7. It was fun, and a good piece of hardware - why no software support is beyond me. And i will not be buying a new one, 10 years ago i was scanning into my computer my pics - but nowadays with digital pics. But was using it to scan bills etc, but will give that up.
ReplyDeletejerry
Well, I thought better of HP in the past, and really liked their products. Since they've chosen to abandon Vista and Windows 7 drivers for my IICX scanner, I guess it's time to abandon them.
ReplyDeleteSorry HP, you're on the black list, along with Creative.
To be honest, I've found that my Intel camera, my HP 6200C, my Courier External Fax modem, and a bunch of software will not run under 7. I'm starting to seriously consider returning to XP. It works, it's reliable, and everything runs under it. Plus why bother learning a whole new OS?
ReplyDeleteI used to upgrade every time Msoft released a new OS. Vista was so bad, I skipped that. I'm now thinking of skipping 7. Who needs the hassle?
Windows update CANNOT find a driver for my HP Scanjet 4370. It should be available on the HP site since it is an HP product!!!
ReplyDeletesame story with my HP laserjet 2840 AiO, the scanner is not supported by HP. Big surprise since I spent $1500 buying a new HP desktop and devices. Unfortunately, I can't use the scanner. They just lost my future business. My fault for thinking if I stick with HP and get window 7 system that comes with the set up, all will be easy... NOT! If anyone can find a solution to get my 2840 scanner to work, I will be grateful
ReplyDeletemy computer - windows 7 - can't detect the HP 3800 scanner...I've tried installing all kind of drivers, no result whatsoever !
ReplyDeletesolved HP3800 problem....basic driver +inserted cord into computer :) it works
ReplyDeleteI was looking for ScanJet 5530 W7 driver and bumpped up your place. The Vista driver from HP site is not compatible and won't install. Just to mention this in my case cause you have listed as there is W7 driver at hp.com
ReplyDelete$3rd party drivers:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.silverfast.com/product/en.html
...support for over 340 scanners including those no longer supported by HP etc.
Silverfast does not work with Scanjet 4470c
ReplyDeleteScanjet 4470c works fine only in WIA mode under W7 32-bit .
ReplyDeleteHelp! I can't get my ancient but perfect HP scanner 4c to work. What is wrong with HP? Michele
ReplyDeleteGood people,
ReplyDeleteFor whatever it's worth, I got my 4470 c working in W7 32 bit Ultimate by setting Precision Scan Pro to run in Windows 2000 compatibility mode.
Right-click on the EXE file, click "Properties", click "compatibility", choose "Windows 2000" from the list. I tried Windows XP SP 3 compatibility, but that didn't work...
You get the "Do you want this program to make changes blah blah blah" dialogue, but that's a small price to pay for getting the scanner to work.
HTH, I was about to give up when this fix dawned on me.
Looks like my enthusiasm was premature. It's all very unstable. The program still hangs. Sorry
ReplyDeleteI am under w7 32-bit and my scanner is a scanjet 4470c .
ReplyDeleteBefore connecting the device , I installed Xp driver PrecisionScan Pro 3.1.3.0 .
Downloaded and installed Freekapture ( yes , it's free ) from
http://download.cnet.com/FreeKapture/3000-2094_4-10673689.html
Connected Scanjet 4470c and rebooted .
Opened FreeKapture , clicked on Scan and selected WIA-Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 4470c 1.0 ( 32-32) . Scanner works fine in this mode . If you choose HP Precisionscan Pro , program freezes .
In any case , no slides or negatives scans possible but the rest works .
Regards .

I'm not interested in buying new stuff , I need Vista / 7 drivers !
ReplyDeletethis is so dumb. new operating systems should not be released until they are working properly! Not only will Windows 7 not recognize my hp ScanJet 5100C scanner, but I also have to change my settings in order for World Of warcraft to work!
ReplyDeleteI will never buy another HP product again either as they do not support my scanjet 4070 scanner in windows 7.
ReplyDeleteI upgraded to Win7 Ultimate. With my ScanJet 4600, I downloaded HP Photo and Imaging Software v2.4 (col6904mu1.exe) for WinXP and it works. Win7 has the scanner drivers in native format (install automagically), but we need the software. Do this: download the 4600 software; use WinRAR to extract the software from that download to a new folder; right-click Setup.exe and select tab; select and , then . Bingo!
ReplyDeleteThe posting software deleted all commands in angle brackets; add these commands starting after right-click: select tab "Compatibility", select "WinXP SP3" and "Run as Admin", then "Apply". Bingo!
ReplyDeleteI spoke the HP people regarding new drivers
ReplyDeleteIt is all about money (your money) they want you to buy a new scanner - period !!!
But like me I would now never purchase a new HP Scanner (I have several) - if I can only use it for a couple of years
Apparently (although yet to try it) - you can install a virtual XP onto Windows 7 called
""Windows Virtual PC & XP Mode for Windows 7"" and do it that way - not ideal but I guess it is one way to stick some fingers up at HP - keep your functionality and your money
Same here have a hp scanjet 3300c in new condition, won't work with windows 7 premium. we also can blame microsoft! they should include a driver for all these scanners and printers.
ReplyDeleteI Won'T Be Buying Any HP product ever again!
and neither will my IT DEPT. We have over 1000 computers and most are HP ,when it is time to upgrade those, You can Bet it won't be anything made by HP or Compaq ever again!
"I Won'T Be Buying Any HP product ever again!"
ReplyDelete+1
since HP41CV 35 years ago i choosed HP but now ...
ReplyDeletealso all my HP scanners in the company are making trouble... stop in the middle of scanning and take only time and massive nerves, at least HP could say in the beginning "do not even try to use your old scanner, bring it to the HP store and we will giv you a spezial price for the new one." now we did spend so much money in working howers in this "project"!!! why should i stay With HP in the future ??????
OBI
Hi every one !
ReplyDeleteDo you really think it's different with other manufacturers ?
It's called capitalism and we should all be happy to live in that system . HP doesn't support obsolete drives anymore : et alors ?
Windows XP was perfect for my modest needs . Why now Windows 7 ? Business , my friend , business ...
I'm joining the anti-HP gang ! My HP scanjet 4500c scanner, which was functioning perfecrtly (or nearly) well under W2000 and XP is now good for the rubbish heap with W7. HP never again !
ReplyDeleteScanjet 4400c IT WORKS!
ReplyDeleteLike all of you, unhappy owners of HP scanners since updating to Win 7, I tried unsuccessfully to install it in the normal way and no luck. Then I started searching and I found out the “misery” that as other stated above, HP worked to add in their software a lot of not useful software like different toolbars and bla-blas and didn’t offer us, former or why not potentially actual buyers of HP products, a small support to make those scanners work. Shame HP!
Here is what I did, of course inspired by reading different posts above, thanks all of you.
1. I downloaded the driver from HP. I was asked for which OS and I selected Windows 2000.
2. Saved the driver (sj659en.exe) on the desktop.
3. Right click on it, then Properties then choose Compatibility tab and under it in the field Compatibility mode I checked “Run this program in compatibility mode for” and I selected Windows 2000. Then hit OK.
4. I double-click the file and installed it. I choose Custom install and I installed only the main scan application and choose not to install the other options. Next, Next and finalize installation. At some point, during the installation you are asked to choose connectivity way and I selected USB (not parallel or other…). I did all the installation with the scanner ON and USB cable connected, as far as I remember usually you are asked NOT TO HAVE the scanner connected.
5. I downloaded a third party imaging software for scanning like Irfan view and installed, no tips tricks here – just installed it normally.
6. Open Irfan view and under the File tab choose “Select Twain Source” and then select WIA-Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 4400c 1.0 (it was also there “HP Precisionscan Pro 3.13.0 “ which I didn’t choose). Click Select tab and then close the box dialog.
7. Put a file in the scanner and then use the combination CTRL-Shift-A to make that sleepy machine work……… And MAGIC! It worked.
8. Last, I was thinking that probably I am lucky and after disconnecting the USB cable it won’t work. I did it in the brutal way simply disconnecting the USB cable from my laptop and connecting it again in the same port - and WORKED again.
Good luck to all of you. Please post if you succeed.

I had to reinstall XP and thus the software that goes with the HP Scanjet 4370 that worked pretty well until then.
ReplyDeleteIt literally took over my computer, changed the user configurations and so many things that I didn't even find my documents. I almost had a heart attack.
I uninstalled it and finally I managed to restore my system to two days before and got back my computer.
Now I need the scanner and I don't know how to install the basic features without all the blotware-imaging-zone crap. I can't remember how I did it before.
I will never buy a HP product again either.
ahh another one.. got 2200c 4300c.. now both are and got some urgent work to be done..so now i got to rush for a new one
ReplyDeleteHP makes it difficult to contact them if your HP unit is out of warranty (Without paying them for the privilege of talking to them...)! Snoop around on their web site and you will find a way to send a message to their CEO.
ReplyDeleteI did that and actually got a person on the phone in answer to my message about how disapointed I was with HP for not having Win7 drivers for my 2200c scanner. Bottom line is they don't want to spend the money to support "old" products, nor customer support for them.
Maybe if everyone with a gripe about the drivers sent a note to the CEO, they might realize the cost to their business that they will incur by pissing off their customers. I, for one, am on the "no more HP" band wagon!
I told the person on the phone that they had lost a customer. (So what?)
Write to the CEO!
You people are completely missing the boat. A 10 year old scanner is like a car that needs leaded gasoline. The entire tech world has changed too much for that product to remain compatible. People want new features and functions but then they bitch about change. For one, 10 year old scanners are all either 16 bit or 32 bit. New operating systems are being written predominantly to support 64 bit. Everyone wants higher memory support and other necessary functions. Those require 64 bit OSs. Also, 10 year old scanners predate operating systems with HAL layers. The entire design for the controllers to talk to the PC is outdated. You cannot hold on to it forever. You cannot expect current generation hardware and software to be backwards compatible forever and still support the new features and needs of expanded computing power. It isn't possible. At some point, the old hardware only works with old systems. This is not HP's fault. It is not Microfsoft's fault. What you are expecting is completely unrealistic!
ReplyDeleteThis table "HP Scanjet Scanner Products" looks very promissing, however, it does not help me regarding my Win7 64 bit problem with Scanjet 2400. This is not a fault of the table but of HP (see download link). The provided software can't be installed. And it seems that I'm not alone, it seems to me HP cannot handle Win 7 64 bit. HP provides a software dated 2007, not really what I expect for an actuel Win 7 64 bit software.
ReplyDeletetry this vista x64 driver.... works for me.

I have a Scanjet 2200C which was working perfectly until I installed Win7, and now it is impossible to get a driver that will make it work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a poor driver support HP, I will reward you by not buing another of your products.
People I SURE understand the annoyance with this bs. However there IS an answer for Win 7 32 and 64 bit systems, it is Virtual PC XP Mode. This is the ultimate solution to ANY compatibility problem. You just use XP mode to do your scanning then go back to Win 7 where your modern processing software is.
ReplyDeleteTo get hold of this go here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx.
It is not hard to figure out, but if you are having any issues with it this thread is NOT the place to go for help.
Before I remembered about Virtual PC I tried lots of the above suggestions by others to get a Scanjet 3300C working for my wife who wanted to do a heap of old photo scanning without crapping out my access to my PC, this turned out to be the perfect answer and I wish I thought of it sooner!
The thing is I used Virtual PC soon after Win 7 launched and it was not so flash. however they have fixed a lot of the crap so you can now get the scanner set up to be a single button click off the win 7 menu. This starts XP Mode and auto launches the scanner software. Enjoy....!
sheet link didn't work, trying again:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
Virtual PC XP Mode worked for me EVEN THAT MY CPU IS NOT FIT FOR VIRTUALIZATION . That's the kind of good news I was waiting for sinds a while . There's a hotfix included in the downloads .
ReplyDeleteNote: Windows XP Mode is only available in Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate.
Other versions will accept a third party software like WmWarePlayer . Works fine also .
YOU ARE IN LUCK A SOLUTION IS IN YOUR GRASP:
ReplyDeleteI got my scanjet 3500c to work miraculously and quite by accident with my windows 7. It started when I was trying to make my hp 1012 laserjet (my work horse lol) work with windows 7. go to hp forums http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Windows-7-Beta-and-test/Windows-7-x64-RC-Build-7100-and-HP-Laserjet-1012-Driver-not/td-p/83178 i followed the directions of posting 24 and 36 which made my printer operable with windows 7. After that I went back to try a similar procedure with my scanner. when I opened the device manager to my delight my scanner was already recognized and worked perfectly without having to download any driver at all (besides the hp driver link I downloaded for my printer already) Hope that helps good luck!!
Oh and shame on you HP for not providing customers with up to date software....you are creating a lot of trash for the people who could not figure this out on their own. In these times where green companies are thriving I see your less than green practices of creating unnecessary amounts of wasted trash a quick path to your inevitable demise. I will no longer buy any of your products and everything i own from laptop to printer to scanner is all hp. Way to fail dumb asses you forgot the cardinal rule of customer satisfaction, the consumer's are the reason that you are in business and we can take that away from you at any time.....
Scanjet 3500c is WIA supported under Win 7 . Pure luck .
ReplyDeletefuck HP, buy a new HP scanner while the old one (scanjet 3300c) is in perfectly good conditions but they do not want to update the drivers, NEVER, there are some other good branches availeble such as CANON
ReplyDeleteIt's the same story at Canon's . Older devices won't run under Windows 7 !
ReplyDeletei'm another disgruntled hp scanjet 4300 user that is incapable of using workaround for old driver on new o.s.and to think the add hardware program would be solution to problem,nope,no wayyyy.damn corporate greediness.
ReplyDeleteMicrosoft must also share in the blame for this. It's THEIR operating system that caused all of our perfectly working hardware to become landfill material. The hardware isn't even worth recycling.
ReplyDeleteI just built my own computer with the Intel I7-2600k processor, Intel DH67GD motherboard and windows 7 professional. Was surprised I could not load my old HP 4600 scanner software (it ran under XP and this windows version was supposed to support XP software). After searching the internet and almost giving up, I noticed when scanner was plugged in, system indicated the 4600 scanner series driver was correctly installed. Searching around I found the "Windows Fax and Scanner" software seems to work perfectly with the this scanner. Happy now!
ReplyDeleteMy Hp ScanJet 3200C is almost new, but is a complete trash with Windows 7. Thank you HP for throwing away my money! I'll remember that next time I buy a scanner or printer: it won't be a HP for sure.
ReplyDeleteAJDB (Venezuela).
Thank you HP for not supporting my hpScanjet 4400c in Windows 7, ad fuck you also.
ReplyDeletewhat do i do with my Scanjet 3400C scanner, if the driver is not provided on net within 24 hours I will sue hp in court of law
ReplyDeleteThe only true way to utilize 'older' hardware is to install a virtual machine. I run Windows 7 and have setup Windows XP via VMware Player. Once inside the XP environment, you can just load the device drivers as you would any typical installation. It may be inconvenient switching between operating systems, but that's a sacrifice you have to make if you want to continue using your current hardware. I am still successfully using my 'old' HP Scanjet 2200c without any problems.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply junk, I won't buy any of HP products henceforth :(
ReplyDeleteI have done the same : using VMware Player and installing virtual XP , worked perfect for me .
ReplyDeleteAn other way is what I have done now : installing XP on the secondery HD on my desktop : perfect .
Would HP deign to condescend to explain to users why our printers, which worked well until we installed Windows 7, now do not print properly ? Or, would that be too much to expect of a famously arrogant company...? In order to print properly with my HP Deskjet 5552 I now have to load the latest Ubuntu, which has the correct drivers which neither Microsoft or HP provide.
ReplyDeletethis is a junk scanner HP scanjet 3400C, no driver is is support for window 7
ReplyDeleteWhat a garbage HP 3400C, no driver for window 7
ReplyDeleteAnyone know how to get a hp photo scanner 1000 to work on windows 7 pleeeeeeease? getting frustrated now trying to make it work
ReplyDeleteI am also very disappointed that my new Windows 7 computer can't support a driver to run my hp Scanjet 4370. However, I have been able to use my scanner (though not with all the features I used under the old Windows XP) by using the PaperPort program. It is pretty basic, but at least I can still scan.
ReplyDeleteI#m still using my HP ScanJet 4c without any problems and with still very good results. But now I have to go over to windows 7 and I cann't believe that for my scanner there will be no driver support anymore. It's a sort of ignorance from HP and I'm very disappointed. If it should realy necessary to look for another scanner it won't be HP anymore!
ReplyDeleteB. Stier
To Costin from Romania (who typed a post in this forum above on March 6,2011 if anyone wants to look up the post):
ReplyDeleteI tried your strategy, and it almost worked for me, but when the scanner was scanning pages, the IrfanView software would always stop working in the middle of the data transfer and I'd get a popup message saying "Windows has detected a problem with the software...[IrfanView] must close"
My scanner is a 5370C scanner from HP, so either it depends on the scanner or maybe my computer has a problem because I had trouble getting the software to install correctly to begin with. Otherwise, thank you for giving me a place to start. Instead of IrfanView, I used the software VueScan and everything works fine. (or, if someone wants to follow Costin's instructions, in IrfanView, when you go to File, Select TWAIN SOURCE, click on the VueScan software and hit select and it should work if your selected scanner doesn't.)
VueScan doesn't necessarily have to be bought, you can use it for a free trial. Since I just got the software, I don't know if I'll have to pay for it in the future. But I highly recommend it to anyone else if IrfanView doesn't work.
Also, you can install one of the newer versions of Ubuntu (within the past couple of years or later should be fine) and if your scanner has a USB connection rather than the older connections (like SCSI), you can just turn on the scanner, plug in the USB connection into the computer,and go into Applications (on the desktop menu bar at the top of the screen), then Graphics. If you have an older connection, you will probably have a hard time getting the scanner to work even in Ubuntu unless you're willing to mess with writing drivers/backends. Here's a link for Ubuntu instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/printing/C/scanning.html
The link for the backends is on the webpage of the link I gave above, but here's the link here too: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html
To Costin from Romania (2 ). Thanks for the very detailed info but we all have tried that without success . One computer is not the other . I own a Scanjet 4470c and managed to get it running on my old pc under W 7 32-bit ( only in WIA mode ) but their is absolutely no way it will respond under W 7 64 bit on my new pc , period. The solution ? There is a workaround that's worth trying only if you own the W XP install disc with a genuine key . You can then install a virtual version of XP on your machine with http://download.cnet.com/VMware-Player/3000-2094_4-10470784.html or via Microsoft if you have Ultimate or Professional installed . You also can partition your HD and install XP on the second partition . What i did is connecting a secundary HD in my machine and installing XP on it . That' s the only way to get the scanner at work with the full HP program . Otherwise , you need to buy a replacement W7 compatible device .

Never buy HP again. This support suck. I need drivers for win7 for my full funkcionaly SJ 3970. Iam buyer for great firm and i promise you, that i never buy anything from HP. I wish you end.
ReplyDeleteI run x64 Win7 & Ubuntu 10.04.2, so I thought: "Why not use Ubuntu since drivers won't install on Win7", my scanjet 4400c worked for a while an then it died. I sincerly hope HP stops producing scanners just as fast as my scanjet died.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me for typo's, I'm somewhat p-off. HP: I bid you farewell, never ever will a buy one of your products.
ReplyDeleteVERY VERY disappointed had HP printer and HP Scanner all on XP Replace the PC an old "crappy" E machine with brand spanking new Win 7 on an HP tower. Now scanner is half the m\c it was and Printer won't share across network.
ReplyDeleteNever thought to check fault forums before parting with hard earned cash and YES if I do re-equip again I'll avoid HP
HP!! DON'T LET YOUR CUSTOMERS DOWN!!! CREATE WIN7 DRIVERS!!!!!

HP NEVER AGAIN and CANON TO!! CANON HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE LIDE 30
ReplyDeletemy windows is 7. my HP Scanjet G3010 cant scan in to pdf.
ReplyDeleteمردیوجان ,
ReplyDeleteDownload and install IRFANVIEW plugins incl. , select WIA scanjet G3010 in the twain section and you will be abble to scan directly to PDF .
HP doesn't have Windows7 drivers for the Scanjet G3010 scanner either. I can't believe a multi-billion dollar corporation would do this to customers. And I'm a a sales exec in the high tech industry!!!! I'll be looking at a Canon or other scanner soon! HP printing/scanning team, you guys need to really get it together and have a better strategy.
ReplyDeleteHi guys
ReplyDeleteI have Windows 7 Ultimate and a 7400 HP Scanner. I had already tried the Windows XP Mode which doesn't help as it grabs the scanner by attaching the USB from Windows 7 (you have to click a button to Attach and Detach the scanner from the XP Mode window). So Windows 7 has a WIA driver but the HP Twain driver will not work through HP Precision Scan Pro. Weirdly if you hit the button on the front of the scanner it uses the Twain driver to scan the image. Paperport 14 won't work though. I set HP Precision scan to compatibility mode as discussed above but that did not help either.
It seem the problem is with the HP Precision Scan software which integrates with Paperport to supply the Twain driver which HP Precision Scan will not recognise.
The solution for me was to use the WIA driver, go to the settings button in Paperport and set it to use safe mode in the scanner wizard.
Now it will import perfectly using Paperport's Scan button.
Hope it helps someone.
It really sucks that my 5500c scanjet's software is not working for windows 7, especially 94bit. I am happy that the bare bone drivers were updated to 64 bit for windows XP, but not the slide scanning function of the scanner.
ReplyDeleteI was about to buy a new laptop from HP, but i now will not, and probably never any other stuff from HP. - F
5470c owner. it's latest XP driver worked perfectly on win 7 x86. installed 64bit win 7 and....TADAAAA! - the scanner is now for the trash. wtf? I mean WTFUCK?!!!
ReplyDeletePLANNED OBSOLESCENCE. You run faster and faster to keep up with the "upgrades" and in the end, your life, which you were so determined to "document", was wasted. And your stuff ends up on 'Storage Wars'.

Hp Scanjet G2410 is not compatible with windows 7. If you download the driver and software from hp.com then also it not works perfect.

ReplyDeleteONLY DO IT ¨¨¨!!¨¨¨
Yes koko and ?
ReplyDeleteThis is allready listed above .
Hp Scanjet 4600 software had problems loading on my new hp windows 7 computer and the Hp photo and imaging program would open but was missing the buttons on top.
ReplyDeleteWindows 7 has a fax and scan program in the start menu that that would work to run the scanner,but still wanted the Hp photo and imaging software to make scan adjustments.
After reading some of the comments here i tried right clicking the program icon on the desktop and went top properties and then compatibility.
I changed the selection to windows XP sp3 then apply and closed.
The progam now opens with a user account screen to allow the change at startup and the program now works as before on the old xp computer.
The other software from the install disk for the 4600 may have to be changed also, but for now this is all i need!
Hope this helps some of you!
What happened, have a HP computer running Windows 7 Home Premiun edition (64 bit). I also have a G 4050 scanjet that worked fine for several months. The last time I used it was several weeks ago, now it wont scan anything. When I try to scan, I get the following error, "Error! A required component was not found or improperly installed. Re install the HP Photosmart software that came with the device, and try scanning again."
ReplyDeleteHP website for downloads is no help. One would think their search enging could direct you to the proper software.
Because of all the problems I have had with this system, scanner and previous printers, I wil never purchase another HP product. It doesn't surprise me that they want to get out of the PC business, they can't handle it.
HP SCANJET 2770 ไม่รองรับ windors 7 ลองหลายครั้งแล้วไม่ได้
ReplyDeleteHP SCANJET 4070 (ขอแก้ไข)ไม่รองรับ windows 7 ครับ
ReplyDeletewell same here the scanjet 3970 is not in the list (i hate this)
ReplyDeletecan someone provide me the real drivers for windows 7 please ??
thanks in advance
HP needs to be put out of business. They are no longer capable of the simplist things. No support for their products. Their standard support reply is, "Throw it away and buy a new one." Think of all the perfectly good machines that will be thrown away just because HP refuses to support them. The won't even write new drivers and sell them! That's plain lazy and stupid. Don't ever buy another HP product. If you've visited this site youy have been screwed by them. Don't let it happen again. Pass it along to friends. Hopefully, they will go broke and we won't have to deal with them anymore.
ReplyDeleteI have two HP Deskjet 692C printers and a Hp Scanjet 4400C Flatbed Scanner, but there's no updated driver for them either. I know what HP wants: us to buy another product from them... or for what other reason would HP not have updates for the drivers of old products )that they certainly know that work well, just are not compatible with windows 7)? I don't see it.
ReplyDeletefor the HP 4570c - plug the power supply and usb cable into your computer, then go to this site for more information. The computer should be able to recognize and install the driver. I have Win 7 home premium 64 bit and it worked great.
ReplyDeletehttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Working-with-the-Scanner-and-Camera-Installation-wizard
I have to agree with many of you on this site that expressed your disgust with HP and not supporting hardware in Windows 7. I have a scanjet 3970 which is perfectly fine - I purchased it to scan some of my old slides. I am an IT person who has in the past, sang the accolades of HP gear. No more. Their answer on their website was essentially - sorry, you are out of luck. It would take what, a few days to come up with a Win 7 64bit driver? HP you SUCK. No more HP computers for my company.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe there is no Win7 drivers for my HP ScanJet. This is a disgrace. Bad luck to them and a sure fire way of losing my custom.
ReplyDeleteWas considering a new laptop recently - know where not to look now..
good
ReplyDeleteNo need to make such a fuss about HP . It' s the same story every where else : Canon , Lexmark , Epson ... Every single day of each year , HP collects unsatisfied clients from other manufacturers and the others do the same with HP's clients. It' s just business . That ' s how economy runs . What do you expect ?I have installed XP on my secundary to allow my Scanjet 4470C to run smoothly and I ' m using my primary for the use of W 7 . No problem .
ReplyDeletethanks
ReplyDeleteSHAME ON HP+Microsoft! I have a perfectly working hp 2200c scanjet and just moved to Win7. Why should I throw it away or getting crazy to make it working through past Windows emulations? You lose another customer even here in Italy...
ReplyDeleteMicrosoft has a best workaround for non running stuff under Windows 7 . Install a virtual version of XP on your Win 7 system from
ReplyDeletehttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
Works like a charm under all Win 7 Systems excepting under W 7 Home .
You don't have Professional , Enterprise ,Ultimate but you own a Win XP install disc : install a virtual version of XP from http://www.filehippo.com/download_vmware_player/
Otherwise , you need to buy a new W7 compatible unit , no big deal after all .
Can't get perfectly good 5470c to run on Win7 64 pro. So, my work printer is now Epson Workforce WP4540 and the little ones are Epson Stylus NX4xx machines.
ReplyDeleteSo much later HP, another brand trashed by short term thinking and a confused management team.
Never again HP in a Corporate or Home setting for us...
My Scanjet 4470c runs perfectly in XP mode under W7 Ultimate .
ReplyDeleteI need HP Scanjet 3770 driver for windows 7 32 bit.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading all comments, I still do not know if my Scanjet 4c connected with a Advancys PCI card will work if I buy a new computer with Window 7 or 8. Thanks for the help
ReplyDeletePut quickly HP out of business. They have no sense of responsibility towards their clients. Just want to make money selling new products when old ones are still working perfectly.My case: Scanjet G3010 not working with Windows7. I know now how to advise colleagues asking which brand to choose: any except HP

ReplyDeleteI have been an HP advocate for 20 years - not anymore.
ReplyDeleteI was given a 4070, I was sure I could get it to work. I can get the scanner to work, but the software will not even instal, it calims I am not the adminstrator of my own computer!
ReplyDeleteThis is pathetic. I have installed a lot of old software on windows 7, most of it could be made to work. Sad that HP hard coded their software to not work on a new OS!
its very very nice job most of the time we face this problem and we are not able to find the driver and the only way is to search it on internet in easy way and its the best software collection i have ever seen.
ReplyDeletethanks HP.

HP is quality . I like it .
ReplyDeleteMaybe Windows should make their software so it supports old drivers and programs. I have 2 scanners here that are useless. One is HP and the other Lexmark. I think they are all in cahoots!
ReplyDeleteWindows 7 supports old drivers by offering free Virtual XP Mode in versions Pro , Enterprise and Ultimate .
ReplyDeleteI am having trouble with my HP scanjet 8300 after the latest windows update. Anybody else...
ReplyDeleteHP SCANJET 8300 :
ReplyDeleteDownload and install last up to date driver from here :

SOLVED - Scanner HP Scanjet 4400c - Should WORK for ALL type of old scanners not supported anymore for HP and so on……
ReplyDeleteI had a post one year ago installing this HP scanner under Windows 7 Pro 32bit, successfully, for me at least. As far as I read, those advices worked probably for some and didn’t for others.
This year I received a new laptop, a Sony Vaio running Windows Home Premium 64bit with preinstalled genuine license. I used to work with Professional editions but for home use is really good Home Premium, so I am not going to install something else instead like fake license (eg. Windows 7 Pro, Ultimate…..) as long as there is a valid Microsoft license. There are advantages and I really usually encourage people to have genuine license….
Therefore, I was facing the same problem, but now even more complicated than in the past. I find myself searching my files for the old instructions I made myself, followed them and failed installing my “beloved scanner”……. I tried Vue Scanner, Irfan View – Nothing worked!!!!
HERE IS THE SOLUTION!
XP Mode Virtual Machine! I installed it on my laptop under Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and work like a charm!!! Also I installed it under Windows 7 Professional 32-bit on another PC at home and during the installation I decided to write all the steps I made.
No more conflicts. Don’t get scary. It's very easy. I have a step by step instructions but it's too long to post it here (here only 4.096 characters are accepted).
If there is someone interested, send me a mail at hpcostin.romania@gmail.com and I'll send the the complete instructions.

Start a new scan... If all goes well you should see the "initializing scanner dialog box", and hear the scanner dancing.
You should be good to go...
Good luck
This should work on most of the scanners listed... its worth a try
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm late to this party, but I finally disconnected an old XP machine. I had no problems printing to a very old 1220C (Mfg Date May 2001), but my ScanJet 6200C (That is at least 5 years newer) seems to be a lost cause because of the lack of Win 7 driver problem that everyone else is having problems with.
ReplyDeleteI have a question that is not related directlyy to this post but I am gonna ask anyway.. Does HP has to offer an id scanner as this one?

ReplyDeleteSeams I'm not the only one with issues with HP peripherals. Had a Mustek 1200UB scanner for years on XP. Updated to Win 7 pro and no drivers, but fair play its been used so much and is old, so time to get a nice shiny new scanner. I have a HP XW8200 PC so bought an HP scanner, that'll work fine with it I think. Ahh !! wrong !!. Fine when I installed, used it, yup, working fine, shut down PC, rebooted next day, no scanner. Checked in device manager and I have unknown device, hmm, unplugged USB from scanner and plugged in, ping! up pops scanner in the unknown device section. OK working again. Shut down, reboot, unknown device again. No on/off button on the scanner, front buttons don't work when its not powered and starting the PC doesn't power up the scanner. It's not a USB issue as my Mustek worked fine on the same PC under XP and it's not a Win 7 issue as the Mustek even with no driver does at least power up when I plug it into my PC and boot it up. The only way I can get the HP scanner to start is unplugging the mini USB from the back and plugging it back in, yeah coz mini USB isn't going to break doing that every time is it hmmm. Insult to injury. I open an editing package I want to scan into, launch the twain to import, software opens, scan in 1 page. OK fine, turn page over to scan the next side..oh the scanner app closes after each scan..WTF ? I have to go to import>TWAIN>scanner every time I want to scan. Painfully slow and utterly moronic. Over the years since about 1990 I've had Mustek, Visioneer, Canon even my Pacific Image slide/Neg scanner stayed open until I finished scanning in what I want. Frankly I could have bought some generic unbranded scanner from China for half the price and had less harrassment from it than my HP scanjet200 scanner. Sorry HP won't be buying HP products again. Piss poor and headache inducing. Maybe HP should employ real normal real life users to put into device and software what real people want, not the developers whims and marketing revenue empty headed suits. A scanner that starts when I start my PC so its ready to use without unplugging and plugging back in. A scanner app that stays open until 'I' close it. Would I like a free toolbar? no WTF has that got to do with the sheet of paper on my scanner? HP have become yet another shill, being pimped out like a cheap hooker by advertisers and affiliates pushing bloatware out over decent products. Shame, HP 'Used' to be good.

ReplyDeleteI managed a sort-of work around by downloading the Vista 64-bit drivers for my Scanjet 3530c from the HP web site. At least they let me run the scanner from Windows 7 Fax & Scan, though I miss the capabilities of the HP scanning software to save in formats like PDF... I'm toying with the idea of hooking the scanner up to my Linux box and running XSANE as a plug-in for GIMP, to see if that makes life any easier...
ReplyDeleteAn add-on to my previous comment: I tried using Windows 7 update to get the driver for my Scanjet 3530c, but the Windows 7 update service didn't admit to anything.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what HP guesses who of all the disappointed customers will ever buy a HP product again?
ReplyDeleteI usually only get once disappointed by a brand and then i never buy a product from this brand again.
Why should we users throw something away just because of a piece of lousy software,
if the Hardware still works fine?
Not everybody earns as much money as you do!
There are ppl that build YOUR HOUSE!
they HEAT YOUR ROOMS!
they DIG THE POTATOES OUT OF THE DIRT FOR YOU!
but we all earn quit little
SHOULD WE STOP NOW TO DIG THE POTATOES OUT FOR YOU?
as example Logitech supports me as user for all input peripherals i own from them since decades.
ReplyDeletei own some which are older as 10 years, they are still supported.
due to that i trust them and will also buy further products from them.
that's the way to handle a custumer.
furter i will wherever i can recommend Logitech
quality is outraking
support as well.
a "dressman" with a pepsodentsmile helps little!
Pls kindly advice me how I can download the drivers for a HP Scanjet 3690 for Win 7. Thanks
