How do I find the TWAIN driver?

[WMT1]

The program I use to scan works best with a TWAIN driver. Using the HP scan doctor it appears that both a WIA driver and TWAIN driver are available on my MFP M277 scanner, but the select option only shows the WIA. How do I find the TWAIN driver?

Hey @WMT1,

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

I understand that you are having some issues with finding a driver for your Laserjet M277dw Printer. You can find the latest drivers by clicking on this link. If you are still needing support after downloading the driver, you would need to contact the software provider for further assistance.

Please let me know the results after following the above. If you are able to resolve your issue, please click on Accept Solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. Both icons are below this post.

Thank you for your response. I have a driver. It is listed as WIA-HP CLJM277 scan driver 1.0(32-32). I downloaded the printer/scanner doctor from HP and tested the scanner. The test checked as OK "Recommended updates, Device Manager, Windows (WIA) scan, and HP TWAIN scan." But the only driver available to me is the WIA driver. I am looking for access to HP TWAIN scan. Checking for driver downloads is difficult because the drivers listed refer to printer drivers. Since my scanner is part of a MFP I don't know what the model is.

The doctor did say that it was unable to find the HP Scan software. Could that be my problem?

Scanning issues…

Please try this scan solution:

HP Scan Extended

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/scanners/HPScanExt/HPScanExt.msi

Once it's downloaded and installed, go to Start > All Programs > HP > HP Scan Extended > Run "HP Scan Extended"

Let us know.

I have the same Problem. I need a TWAIN driver for the 277dw under Win10.

To make it clear: It works fine now with the current (extended) scanning software from HP but the scanner is now not available for other products like IfranView which allow batch scanning for example. 

So, is there a TWAIN driver for this model?

every piece of scanning software I've tried return the dreadful message: "unable to communicate with HP scanning software"

F.U. HP for making me lose my mind
