Apple keeps changing their Mac OS and HP will not update the driver for my scanner. VueScan keeps my HP scanner operating with each new Mac OS version that comes around. Boo for HP - Kudos for VueScan!
— Greg Beale in Columbus, Ohio, USAThis application always works. Plenty of features for any scanner out there. Can't find software and drivers for your scanner/OS version? No problem because VueScan will do the trick.
— Vanessa Schwarz in Augsburg, GermanyVueScan provides the simplest way to make your scanner work, none of the problems of Windows drivers "not found". That also means that old hardware gets a new lease of life, ecologically friendly at its best!
— Emily Moore in Houston, Texas, USAMy scanner, though perfectly good mechanically, had been orphaned heading into Windows 7. VueScan brought it back into use, and the new version for Windows 10 carried that on. The application is excellent.
