HP Scan and Capture

[Nelinha]

What is the best replacement for the discontinued HP Scan and downloaded Capture?

Can HP Scan and Capture aid be downloaded? If yes where?

HP smart isn't bad, it's terrible!

Scan and capture software must allow you to do the following:

multi pages

select part of the image

Rotate

shorten

extend

improve images

more shine

less shine

remove the glass effect

Welcome to the HP English Community --

To date:

There is no HP replacement for the retired HP Scan and Capture application.

The HP Scan and Capture app has been removed from the Store.

If you find the HP Scan and Capture app somewhere, treat the source as you would any suspicious and un-trusted resource.

Notice our our HP Community Website:

Note: From May 1, 2024, the HP Scan and Capture app will no longer be available (retired) in the Microsoft Store and HP will not release any further app updates. Alternatively, you can download HP Smart from the Microsoft Store. For more information on how to set up your printer using the HP Smart app, go to HP printer setup (HP Smart app).

HP Smart is not supported on your older printer -- that might not impact your personal view of the application - it does mean the app is not an option and can be ignored.  The app is generally optional even on printers that support it.

You'll need to find something that is compatible with your older model printer.

Depending on whether the printer is supported, there might be a tolerable option in your Windows OS.

You can certainly explore apps in the Microsoft Store  -- one or more might work for you.

First,

If you have not done so,

Install the Windows Built-in Print Drivers to restore basic print function.

Windows scan app is very poor
Discontinuing HP Scan and Capture without a replacement at the same level is like selling cars and then ending the sale of tires by forcing car owners to replace flat tires with bicycle tires.
HP, as a respectable and responsible company, should have replaced the HP Scan and Capture app with another equal or better one.

Ah, got it.

Well, it's true that HP Scan and Capture was well loved.

Not everyone is equally accepting of the app's absence.

Fortunately, like discontinued tires, there are always new and different models -- and different makers.

I hope you find a solution that will work for you.

Should you decide to stick with HP, we are here to help.
