Apple scanner software not working with HP

Question

HP claims that the Apple Scanner Software on PowerBook is not working properly with the HP scanner

Answer 1

Is this a question about the scanning software in the MacBook Pro computer shown
in your post's lower boundary area, or do you have a PowerPC G4 PowerBook, too?
There may be a newer or alternative driver for a recent version of OS X, that the
older obsoleted PowerBook can't run; but a later supported MacBook Pro, can.
Issues with Apple products, software or hardware that may elicit comment,
can be addressed to Apple Feedback... in case you want to tell them direct.
Mac OS X - Feedback
If you have posted in the vintage/obsolete PowerBook notebook ASC discussion,
by accident, Hosts could relocate this thread to one more appropriate, on request.
You may have to look into alternative drivers or software for scanners, if whatever
Mac you are using with the HP scanner is unsuitable. The older PPC based Macs
can't run an OS X version past Leopard 10.5.8. With a later MacBook Pro running
Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, you may have difficulty if HP does not support it...
Drivers for current printers & some scanners may be included in Mavericks; but
for users of older printer/scanner/copier all-in-ones, bits may be left behind. If
the HP product is older, a different version HP scanner driver may work. There
are a few open source drivers available, however I do not recollect the web site.
Please make clear what version HP product, which Apple computer portable, and
what OS X version, your discussion actually pertain to. Some users refer to a
MacBook/Pro as a PowerBook; and for a time, a MacBook as an iBook. Oh well.
