software comparison

[BernieVG]

Does anyone know which of these 2 (below)  most closely resembles the extinct HP Scan & Capture:

• HP Universal Scan - Full Feature
• HP Scan - Full Feature

@BernieVG 

Neither of the HP Scan software options are similar to Scan and Capture except in the broader sense - they scan.

The full driver / full feature printer software is a likely good choice for you.

If needful set / update Operating System / version

HP Scan - Full Feature Software and Driver 

Next,

HP Universal Scan is both Model and Operating System / version dependent.

=======================================

HP Universal Scan Software - Optional

Separately -- When / If Supported on this printer and Windows 11

Installation of the HP Universal Scan Software adds an "HP Scan" self-named shortcut icon to the Desktop.

NOTE

If you have installed the full driver printer software,

And

If the HP Scan that is installed is the "new format" (larger GUI and new layout),

Then

You might not need to install HP Universal Scan -- the version of HP Scan that installs with the software for this printer is perhaps a functional match to the HP Universal Software.

That said, if you can't stand it for any reason, most systems will tolerate installing both the full driver and the HP Universal Scan software.

When the software is installed, HP Universal Scan Software adds a self-named HP Scan software shortcut to the Desktop.

Note

Where supported, HPUSS can be installed as standalone or installed after the full feature / full solution printer software.
