HP Recommended
Product: HP Scanjet G4050 Photo Scanner

Like so many others, I made the enormous mistake of allowing MS to "upgrade" my INTENTIONALLY PURCHASED Windows 10 HP to Windows 11.  NOW, the wonderful software that came with my G4050 will no longer work because it is incompatible with Windows 11.  SCREWED by MS ... AGAIN!  HP does not want to invest time and money to upgrade the software for an older scanner.

 

I did as suggested and paid a LOT of money for Vuescan software only to discover that it is VERY buggy, very quirky, not at all intuitive to use AND, what is worse, Ed Hamrick - developer or owner or whatever, does NOT provide support.  NOT AT ALL!

 

Either I reinstall Windows 10 and start over reinstalling everything and NEVER allow Windows 11 upgrade, OR I BEG HP to upgrade the Scanner software.  IF anyone else reads this, or someone from HP - a company I revere - PLEASE upgrade the scanner software!
