Is there a way to make HP Scanjet G4050 compatible with MacBook Air running Ventura?

Hi, i own a macbook air with Monterey 12.6.11

Be carefull, vuescan is very expensive and even more if you need film / negative scan.

after a long time searching a free solution, i found a driver that presently working perfectly. Follow this link :

it is not a scam, it is the right driver for scanjet G4050. I found this scanner in a flee market few days ago and was disapointed to not be abble to work it.

now it is solved !!

take care

The VueScan website lists the HP ScanJet G4050, and indicates: You can use this scanner on Mac OS X and Linux without installing any other software. Which probably means the scanner and scanning apps are using TWAIN.

If VueScan is not working with this scanner, check with Hamrick.

And for grins, try the Apple macOS Image Capture app with it.

VueScan supports that device. Per the tech specs over wt HP, it supports TWAIN, which means the macOS built-in Image Capture app should work too, and with no added drivers.

Just writing to confirm this solution worked in Ventura 13.4.1. on intel.

Backup copy made.

Thanks IgorAlexis!

Do you know if the HP G4050 scanner will work on an iMac Studio running OS 14.4.1 ?

Thank you.
