HP Scanjet Scanners Version 9.0 Drivers and Software

Hello folks,

HP Scanjet Scanners Version 9.0 Drivers and Feature Softwares, i am going to explain about these in contrast with HP Softwares version 7.0.

Since the official release of windows vista operating system, hp had released version 9.0 full feature scanning softwares which are compatible with vista(prior to these hp released HP Basic Feature Driver[for almost all scanners] which are compatible with windows vista). to conclude most of the version 9.0 drivers for scanjet scanners are compatible with windows vista operating system.

If you are using windows vista operating system and using HP Scanner G4050 or G4010 or G3010 then you need to download the version 9.0 for your scanjet scanners.

Where can I download the version 9.0 drivers for HP scannners G4050, G4010.G3010?

HP Scanjet Scanner G4050 Windows Vista drivers(veriosn 9.0)

Type: Driver
Version: 9.0 (17 May 2007)
Operating System(s): Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit)
File name: setup_full_G4000.exe (193 MB)
Type: Driver
Version: 9.0 (17 May 2007)
Operating System(s): Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit)
File name: setup_full_G4000.exe (193 MB)

Type: Driver
Version: 9.0 (17 May 2007)
Operating System(s): Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit)
File name: setup_full_G3010_4370.exe (228 MB)

What are the enhancement from version 7.0 to version 9.0?

First, the look and feel of the HP solution center is different in addition HP replaced the HP Photosmart premier with HP Photosmart essential .


I am using windows XP and version 7.0, can i upgrade my scanner software to version 9.0?

I am not pretty sure about this, one of the HP Techs suggested long back that the version 9.0 is compatible with windows xp too, before giving a try make sure that you uninstall the current version completely and install the latest version. I tried with my G4010 scanner.,its working perfectly.

Here are the steps to refresh/reinstakll/uninstalling the USB ports on the computer.

The USB port needs to be refreshed to make sure that no other device has captured the USB port of the computer.(mouse, video camera, your external usb hard disk) what ever it may be.

3. Click the Device Manager button.
4. Click the plus (+) sign to the left of Universal Serial Bus controllers.
5. Right-click the device listed under Universal Serial Bus controller and select Uninstall.
6. Click OK to confirm the removal of the device.

Please note, repeat Steps 5 and 6 until all the devices under Universal Serial Bus Controller are removed.

7. Shut down the computer.

CAUTION: Ensure that the Shut Down option is selected, instead of the Restart option.
