Pagewide 477
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi.

Im using a UPD drivers on pagewide 477. I installed it with hostname (add printer in control panel tcp/ip port).

And now I would like to use Twain or something like that, for scaning, because scans on ADF are crooked AF. Twain can help a lot with that. But there is no scan to computer on printer. Its a lot of pain going to printer (loading paper in ADF) and to computer (starting Twain and scan) and back to printer (take paper out) 

Printer is on latest firmware 1908c. 

And where can I find latest Twain for hp printers. 

Installing full drivers in not an option.

 

Any ideas? And thanx.

Hi,

UPD only offers print capabilities as suggested by its name.

 

For Twain scanning you must install a printer driver, either the full or the basic driver for your printer, the Basic driver can be obtained below:

PageWide 477dw printer:

PageWide 477dn printer:

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/PW477_dn/PW477_DN_Basicx64_38.7.1936.exe

 

You may also try the HP Smart app and check if that allows scanning with your printer without installing software, but it only provides a WIA interface but not a Twain scanning interface:
