Header says it all--and yes I've searched here and despite similar (exact?) thread topics being closed as 'solved' none of the 'solutions' worked for me. Windows 7 64bit, Adaptec 29160 SCSI card (which device manager does not recognize), scanner shows there as 'HP C2520A SCSI Processor Device.' Tried VueScan and it claims no scanner is installed. When I click on the scanner in device manager and try to install the drivers I got from HP (presumably for Windows 7 64bit) it says it can't find them. When I try to install them manually by left clicking the.inf file, I get the ole 'the inf file you selected does not support this method of installation.' On most forums the responses run the gamut of idiocy, commonest being 'why don't you throw that elegant machine away and buy one of these late-model pieces of junk that are supported by windows 7.' This list seemed inhabited by more sensible folks so I'm hoping there's some knowledgeable scanjet 4c nut out there who's actually gotten it to work. Thanx so much for your attention.

Looks like you did your homework to try to resolve the issue. My only suggestion at this point would be to try Vista drivers. And just as a side note, in the past, I experienced problems with HP scanning & CD/RW devices installation to newer OS. As with you, I tried everything with no success. Came to find out that the installation packages d/l from HP, even though they indicated were for the new OS, when I finally decided to edit them, were definitely for the previous OS. The devices are in the HP scrap yard! O god jsc, don't tell me that. My 4c has been a staple of this studio from way back in the miggy days (if anyone left on earth knows what a miggy is) and I'm jiggered if I'll give it up till they pry it from my cold etc. Get better prints from a 100dpi scan off the 4c than from a 200dpi scan from a later-model (but still obsolete!) 4300c. And hey ksiemb thanx for your note. After you have found the right Hewlett Packard (HP) device driver, follow these simple instructions to install it. Power off your HP Scanjet 3970 device. Disconnect the device from your computer. Reconnect the device and power it on. Double click the driver download to extract it. If a language option is given, select your language. HP is indeed doing a fan dance in its pretending to support these older models. Their own fault for making what truly is the best scanner I've ever used--but hey, it was back in the day when things weren't built to fall apart next week. But even on this list there are folks who've gotten their 4c's to work in windows7, if only the 32bit version. ![]() Hp Scanjet 3970 Windows 10Still no hits on any success with Ultimate 64bit. You'll be pleased to know I looked around and realized there's an old workhorse box I use just for internet--must be at ten years, old running XP--and naturally the ole 4c works on it sweet as a peach.
