Hp Scanjet G4050 Software For Mac: Compatible with macOS Big Sur



I downloaded and installed what I believe is the latest HP driver for this Mojave, from support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-scanjet-g4050-photo-scanner/3236371 . I get as far as the "Test Your Scanner" panel in Easy Start, but when I attempt to Scan Test Page it (eventually) tells me "unable to communicate with the device".

What's more, even if I didn't have this problem with Image Capture, using it still wouldn't be a satisfactory solution. This is because Image Capture is not a valid replacement for professional film scanning software such as VueScan. The only reason I even opened Image Capture in the first place was merely to check if this program was also unable to detect my scanner, or if instead the problem was isolated to VueScan.


If this is the ScanJet G4050 model, then you can use the paid, 64-bit VueScan Professional which requires no HP drivers or Apple software support. You can trial the VueScan Professional software to see if it suits your needs.


I bought one week ago an HP scanjet G4050.I bought it to can scan old 35mm slides, I choose this model because it was written I could have scan 16 slide at the same time, but I can't find a software that can do it!


HP says use their ICA driver from HP site but it will not enabel Image Capture to do 35mm slides. It looks OK but scanner will not execute a slide scan. Instead use the App "Vuescan" by Hamrick. The basic one is free. I use the Pro one. It costs a few bucks but basic one should be OK. Use the 32 bit version and not the 64 bit version. Only the 32 bit version will scan transparencies. This is the only solution I have found for slides on the g4050.


By the way I bought my g4050 in October for same reason as you did. Worked great until Mavericks. I am going to a Canon canoscan 9000F mark II. It works smoothly with Vuescan 64bit or its own software. I really liked the 16 slide capabilty of the HP but Vuescan is not as good as HP software was before Mavericks so I am stuck with 4slides at a time.


I have a Macbook OS 10.8. I had some software from wherever that I don't remember but it worked well, until it crashed and I made the mistake of uninstalling it. I spent days trying to find something that would allow the the HP Scanjet G4050 to scan the 16 slides in the template holder individually. The currently offered driver to use with Image Capture won't separate the 16 slides. Eventually I downloaded the HP photo suite (Scan Pro in the Photosmart suite) that is available in the HP website as software and driver for OS 10.5. It works beautifully. I don't know if it would work on OS 10.9.


HP scanner driver is a software that is in charge of controlling every hardware installed on a computer, so that any installed hardware can interact with the Operating System, applications and interact with other devices. Easy explanation: because each tool is used in a different way, drivers in the real world such as manuals that contain guidance on how a tool is used and must be learned by the human brain in order to use the tool. once again humans can learn by themselves, while the computer does not, so that the operating system can control the newly installed devices to the computer (such as printers, scanners, VGA, mouse, keyboards) drivers must be installed first.


The HP Scanjet G4010 Photo Scanner is a very capable desktop scanner with an impressive list of features, such as built-in transparency scanning for slides and film and six-color scans of reflective media. Aside from our resolution slide test, all scans had very good color quality, but the scanning software was a bit clunky, and it was hard to see much difference between standard three- and the six-color scans (and the latter took twice as long to produce). 2ff7e9595c
