Hi,
I have a F2480 HP Printer and a new WIndows 10 desktop PC. I can print as Windows seems to contain the printer driver but cannot scan. Printing and scanning worked fine on the old Windows 8 PC.
I see from other threads on this topic that the driver has been posted on here but the link does not work any more (it was on AWS cloud).
Is this printer/scanner driver still available please?
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Andrew

HP Deskjet F2480 Scanner Driver and Software | VueScan (hamrick.com)
Scanning software for older scanners. This is a 3rd party solution and requires a license after the trial period
They reverse engineered the the older drivers

Is it a subscription or a one time license? When I looked there a few years ago it was cheaper to buy a used scanner at Goodwill.

Thanks, I'm just looking for the driver for this printer so I can continue to use it as a scanner as I was doing up until last week on al old WIndows 8 PC. How on Windows 10 I cannot scan so I'm hoping not to have to buy a new scanner just because of the upgrade to Windows 10.
The printer works fine, don't want to throw it out.
Does anyone have the driver please?
Many thanks in advance
