Hi I have got a new computer windows 10

When I connect my g4010 it says you need the cd to complete the installation of the full features.

I don't have the cd and can't seem to find the full software on the hp website.

Just the basic one?

any help appreciated.

Hello @Audioman2 ,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Install this driver: HP Scanjet G4010 Photo Scanner Basic Feature Driver 

 

After that install this app:

  1. Download only this file: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/scanners/HPScanExt/HPScanExt.msi
  2. Close all programs

Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo > in folder Downloads double-click on the msi.

OPTIONAL:

    Add HP Scan Extended shortcut to Taskbar / Send to Desktop / Pin to Start
    • Open File Explorer > Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP Scan Extended\bin
    • Right-Click on "HPScan.exe" > Select Pin to Taskbar / Send to Desktop / Pin to Start

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
