HP Scanjet 5470C software for Mac OS 10.5 ?

[Rogier]

Archhh I hate HP!
Been there before, even bought the $9,95 cd from them with the software. With I think should have been a free update in the first place 😡

I just received my first roll of B&W back taken with a borrowed old Voigtlander. Tomorrow I will receive my Leica M4-P 😛

Exited I pulled out the scanner after it has been sitting in the closet for a year or so. Meantime we updated to OS 10.5.4. Guess what the application cant find the scanner 🙁

Reinstalled the software, rebooted computer, changed cable, nothing nada.

I looked at the Silverfast website but cant find this barely used scanner.

Any suggestions?

Please help :angel:

Are you connecting the scanner directly to the computer or through a hub?

Did you connect the scanner to the computer before installing the software?

My desktop computer is like yours (same OS). I installed the software for my HP4570 (that is earlier than yours) and, when the installer finished, I opened the scanning software, and held the mouse button down on its dock icon while the software was running. That way I created a shortcut that allowed me to operate and scan from the computer. In my previous computer, every time I wanted to scan I simply pressed the scan button on the scanner.

Now, re-reading my post I wonder... My computer hunted and found the scanner; that's how I could set up this shortcut. Have you opened the scanning software?

I wish I could be more helpful, but I cannot recall exactly the steps I followed when installing my scanner software in my computer.

Good luck! 🙂

Thank you very much for your advice, but I have tried all that before.
