I am trying to use older HP Scan 1000 C9900A with newer Windows 10. I can not find my old driver. Where can I down load a copy?

Hi @Whls2024,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

The HP ScanJet 1000 (C9900A) is quite an old model, and HP does not provide official drivers for Windows 10 for this device. However, you have a few options to try.

 

  • Compatibility Mode: If you still have the old driver for an earlier version of Windows (like Windows XP, Vista, or 7), you could try installing it in compatibility mode. Right-click the driver file, select Properties > Compatibility, then choose an older version of Windows that the scanner supported.
  • VueScan: This is third-party scanning software that supports many legacy scanners on modern systems. It can work as a substitute for the original driver. You can download VueScan from their official website, but note that there is a cost for this software.
  • Windows Update or Windows Scan: Sometimes, Windows Update may provide a generic driver for older devices. You can connect the scanner, go to Device Manager, and try updating or adding the scanner via Windows Update.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
