HP ScanJet 6200c with 10.4.11 - without VueScan

I have a perfectly good ScanJet 6200c that I would like to use with my (new to me) g4 10.4.11.
I checked out VueScan which is nice, but does anyone know if there anything out there that is free?
Seems a shame to have to buy a new scanner since this one works just fine, and I hate to use my Windows box now that I have seen the light.
Thanks!

There is only one such animal: SANE drivers. There's also a GUI interface - Scan Again. But be aware these are not for the amateur.
If I were you I'd pay the money for VueScan. It's not that expensive and includes OCR. The only other OCR program for the Mac costs $200.00.
I find it odd that you'd be willing to buy a new scanner but not willing to pay for the software that would enable you to use the scanner you already have. The Pro version of VueScan is $80.00. A new scanner will cost that much. And, the software it comes with will probably only work with that scanner. VueScan works with hundreds of scanners. To my mind you're being illogical.

  • HP ScanJet 6200C with Windows Vista

    Hey All,
    I have an old HP6200C ScanJet scanner and unfortunately it is too old to adapt to my WindowsVista OS.  Can anyone help me with a "workaround" so I can scan some old slides and digitize them?
    Thanks,

    Hello scanjet6200c,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Unfortunately, I have been only able to find a document linking to 3rd party software. I hope one of this options works for you.

  • Trying to use old HP Scanjet 6200C with Mini

    I'm trying to use an old scanner that was never supported for Macs as far as I know.
    When I connect it to a Windows computer, it seems to work.
    When I connect it to my Mac Mini, it's reported as present on my USB 2.0 hub, the same hub that has a working printer. I've tried to access the scanner with SANE/TWAIN (with ImageCapture), VueScan, and ScanAgain. None of them can see it. But they do recognize and support a Canon MP620 printer/scanner which is defined on my wireless LAN.
    Any ideas as to why none of these applications can access the scanner? If you have a suggestion for a different forum for this problem, that would also be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Dave

    Well, based on a few tests, my problem may be solved, though I can't be sure of the solution.
    In addition to the advice from Boece, I may have been steered in the right direction when I had trouble synching my iPod through my external USB hub. (It was a problem installing an OS update on the device.) Apple's Support site suggested connecting directly to the Mac, and that did the trick.
    So I tried the same thing with the scanner, and things are working now. BUT I also upgraded to Snow Leopard and then had to upgrade VueScan for compatibility with Snow Leopard, so it could have been a combination of things. But making the direct USB connection to the Mac was probably the key.
    I still plan to try access through SANE but haven't had time to download the version compatible with 10.6.

  • Windows 7 64-bit drivers for HP ScanJet 6200c

    Hello HP,
    Will you be releasing 64-bit drivers for the ScanJet 6200c? 
    Regards, Dean.

    Vuescan worked beautifully and without a hitch on Window 7 64 Home Premium.
    The price was $39.99. It provided integration with my apps such as Word 2003, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and others.
    The Vuescan interface is acceptable.
    Definitely my pick over yet another uncessary hardware purchase.

  • Need expert help with HP Scanjet 8200 with Windows 7

    I've tried to download drivers to use my HP Scanjet 8200 with Windows 7 without success.

    hi,
    you can download the windows 7 drivers from this link.
    what error shows when you try to install the software?
    You have to note the system type that the windows 7 is running. 
    Is it 64-bit or 32-bit.

  • How do I use my iPhone 4s with a new computer without losing all my data?

    Basically long story short my laptop just died, I can't get it past the start up screen and have subsequently lost all my music, files and iTunes Libary - and yes I know it's dumb of me not have a back up and I will not be making that mistake again - I have purchased a new laptop running windows 8 however as my iPhone is synced with my old laptop it will not allow me to sync with the new one without losing all of my data. Now I manually managed everything bar my apps on my old laptop but when I check to manually manage eveerything on the new laptop I obviously get the error message I will lose data when it syncs to the new laptop and I don't know what to do.
    I've lost all my music before and when I don't have my old files to back up what I lose I'm at a loss... can anyone help?
    If I click to manually manage will I just lose my apps as this was the onlyu thing synced with my old laptop? I can cope losing these....

    Please search the forums. This has been covered here extensively.

  • I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

    I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

    Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
    If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.

  • AP with PO and AP without PO

    Does anyone has documentation on AP with PO and AP without PO?
    Thanks

    The only difference i can think of for these 2 scenarios is in case of AP with PO, the Invoice is entered using T Code MIRO, where as without a PO it is done through FB 60.
    Hope that helps..

  • HT1296 Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4. My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. Help

    Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
    My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
    If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
    How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
    I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
    Help...

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
