Installing HP Scanjet 5470c Scanner?

I have just migrated from an HP laptop to a MacBook Pro. One of the frustrations I am having is that I don't appear to be able to install my HP Scanjet 5470c scanner onto my new machine; indeed, my MacBook Pro doesn't seem to be very scanner friendly at all.
I would very much appreciate instructions from someone on how I can get my HP scanner working with my new machine.
I don't want to have to buy a new one!
Thanks.

Check with HP if they have drivers for Mac OS X.

If not perhaps you may be able to use VueScan.

HP Scanjet 5470c - Driver Help!!

I have spent entirely way too much time on this, and I'm delerious.
I have an HP Scanjet 5470C. I've downloaded the driver and scanner software five or six times from the HP site. It's worked fine, except for it being a large file. I use the scanner a handful of times during the year, so I've deleted the HP software.
I go to the HP site to download it again...gone. (Except all Windows versions are there). The only way now to get the driver is from a CD . Ugh. I've searched all over the web...no luck. I've downloaded newer HP software and cant get it to recognize the scanner.
I'm tempted to go buy an Epson, but don't want to risk falling asleep at the wheel.
Suggestions?
If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful.

I was actually in the same boat, had the scanner, couldnt find the disk that came with it to install on my new iMac, and could not find it any place on the Internet. I just sprung the 10 bucks and purchased it from HP. The CD got here in one day, and everything workes perfectly!. I really do like this scanner, it was worth it to me to purchase the driver.

Mac Mini using OS X Tiger does not see my HP Scanjet 4670 scanner! HELP!!!!

I have an HP Scanjet 4670 scanner which worked fine on my pervious mac which was an emac with OS X Panther.
However, I now own a G4 Mac Mini running with OS X Tiger and recenly tried to use my scanner with it for the first time only to get the message: "scanner not found" I then went straight to my System Profiler to look at the USB Device Tree and was shocked to see that all my USB devices show up EXCEPT my scanner!
Mechanically, the scanner appears fine (even when I run its 'Hardware Test') but no matter what I do I cant get the Mac to 'see' it. I have reinstalled the HP scanner software old AND new, but to no avail. Although, I'm sure that even with NO HP software on my Mac, the System Profiler should still be detecting a USB device on its tree.
Just out of curiosty I connected my scanner to my old emac (my girlfriend has had it for a few months now) and it has the same problems there too!! WEIRD OR WHAT? The emac is STILL running on Panther - although during the months AFTER I gave it to my GF there has been some minor OSX Panther upgrades installed.
Is it just coincidental bad luck that my scanner became faulty when I changed mac and operating systems? Or is there an OS X Tiger problem lurking somwhere here?
PLEASE PLEASE can someone offer suggestions!!!!????? It is a lovely looking, decent scanner which was not cheap to buy and is only under 2 years old!!!

Looks like you're using software for this scanner that was for Panther only.
Try downloading HP's version of the scanner's software for Tiger.

And run software update to make sure you're running the latest Tiger update.
If you're already doing this, or it still doesn't work, it could be a damaged USB cable (as your girlfriend Panther system doesn't see it either).

No drivers for scanjet 4570c scanner for windows 8x

no drivers for scanjet 4570c scanner for windows 8x
Sure, it's old- but, many PC accessories last a long time. This old scanner is working perfectly. I shouldn't have to junk it because HP, a multi billion dollar company doesn't want us to continue to use old accessories. I used to program- I know that it wouldn't be that big a deal to update the drivers for this old scanner to work on windows 8x.

You need to provide Win7 with device drivers for all the Mac-specific hardware, just like when you tried out BootCamp. In order to do so, use the BootCamp Assistant to download the latest Windows drivers and place them on media the Win7 installer can use.
Run BootCamp Assistant, click Continue to skip initial screen. Check the Download latest Windows support... box, uncheck all others. Click Continue. Select to burn to a DVD/CD or store in an external drive (USB Flash?). Click Continue. Allow the disk image to download, may take awhile. Burn or copy the image onto media, as per your previous choice. Then, when the Win7 installer says there are no drivers, use the media you prepared to install them.
Note that the above explanation is when using the diskless world of Lion. If you are using Snow Leopard, there should be a BootCamp disk you can use and not have to wait.

I have a hp scanjet 4570c Scanner that I need to be able to save or convert scans to Black & White Scalable or Windows Meta Files to use with our Engraving Machine. We had a hp scanjet 4400c that used Precision 3.1 Software and it could save a scan as Black & White Scalable. It was perfect for our Engraver until the scanner went bad. Our 4570c doesn't have an option for that. Help !

HP Scanjet 4600 Scanner series *.exe file

I have an HP Scanjet 4600 Scanner series flatbed scanner that I have been using literally for decades, love it! I'm on Windows Vista 32.
Problem: I can only open it through Photoshop elements. When I try to open it on its own (HPScanjet.exe) I receive the following error message:
An error has occured in the script on this page.
Line: 1480
Char: 1
Error: The specified module could not be found
Code: 0
URL: file:///C:/Program%20Files/HPScanjet/HTML/Center/html/index.htm
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? yes/no
When I click on either yes or no an "HP Scanjet Check" dialog box opens that is totally blank. I checked the URL, which does exist, but the "index" folder is empty.
I have a need to open this scanner on its own.
Thanks for any assistance you may give
David

I do have the original setup disk but Vista hadn't been developed at the time. The latest OS on the disk was XP. Should it work if I reinstall on Vista?
Appearantly I'm not alone with this problem, of the 3 queries on this scanjet 2 of us experienced this.
Thanks

Installed Mavericks, now HP scanner psc 2350 can't save scans

Installed Mavericks, now HP scanner psc 235 can't save scans

Cool. This works! Awesome.
Some difficulty with it at first as the scan size is set to custom 0x0 by default. However, all up and running now.
This has saved me the cost of a new scanner.

HP SCANJET 4850 Scanner

Is there a patch which allows the scanner to work with Leopard?

I was able to get my ScanJet 4890 working under Leopard by installing the latest software from HP. It is called Image Zone Software for the ScanJeet 4800 Series v 7.0 (Win) v 8.4 (Mac) dated Nov 20, 2007. It is part number L1950-10003. I had some trouble installing the software but after several attempts the software completely installed.
Here is the link to the HP software. HP charges $9.95 + tax.

The only issue I have is that HP Device Manager calls up the HP Copy Utility when I attempt to scan and it calls up HP ScanPro when I attempt to copy. The work around is to directly go to the HP Copy Utility or HP ScanPro.

Trying to install drivers for my scanner, not working

I'm trying to install drivers for a canon scanner, it's not working. I ownloaded them from the canon website and they are for Mac OS 9, would they still work? or do i really have to get a new scanner?

Hi Anna
Which model of scanner is it? Have you checked thoroughly to see whether OS X drivers exist?

It appears that ML is not supported, you might try contacting Canon and see if they might have a work around.
