Hi @J13,

 

Welcome to the HP Forums! 

 

I noticed that you are wondering where you can find a driver download for your HP Scanjet 4300c for Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am happy to look for this for you!

 

According to this drivers website, HP Scanjet 4300c Scanner Drivers, as well as this guide, Scanners not supported in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. This product is not supported for Windows 8.1 64-bit. The last driver released for this product is for Windows XP.

 

However, as a workaround, you can try to download the Windows XP driver, found at this website, ScanJet 4300C/Cse/Cxi PrecisionScan LTX software/driver, and then run it under compatibility mode, Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows. It is not guaranteed to work, but worth a try.

 

Otherwise, I would recommend upgrading to a new model that is compatible with Windows 8.1. Here is a list of Scanjets that are compatible and supported, with Windows 8.1. Scanner driver and software support for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

 

Hope this information clears things up for you, and happy new year! Smiley Happy
