Scanjet G4050 with Windows 10

[wb3iqw]

I have an HP Scanjet G4050 and have upgraded my computer to Windows 10.  I cannot get the latest software to install on my computer and the scanner does not have the complete functionality it had with Windows XP.  Is there a way to install the Scanjet G4050 software on my computer so that it will have the full functionality it had when I innitialy installed it on my Windows XP system?

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Forums.

Can you try this alternative 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 if that works.

This solution only lets me use the scanner which I can do with windows but I need the ability to download the full function software for the Scanjet G4050 into Windows 10 and be able to use all the functions of the scanner I could use when I had it installed on a computer with Windos XP operating system.

I can download the software but it does not install on my computer even though a dialog box come up saying it has installed.  This happened also when I tried to install it on my computer using Windows 7.

It it possible that the G4050 will never run the full software package on any Windows operating system after Windows XP?

Hi @wb3iqw

Unfortunately, there are no software for the specific OS, hence the alternative solution.

Thanks.
