Access the manufacturer's web-site: http://support.hp.com
Enter '4255' and do the search.
Download the device-driver software.
Install it.

Try these, i find hp forum:

1st of all I installed Windows 7 and allowed Windows 7 to install the scanner drivers automatically before I attempted to install the HP software package.
- to do this, make sure the HP G4010 is powered on and the USB is connected to the PC
- Windows 7 will take over and install the drivers
- you can confirm installation by reviewing the "Imaging devices" section of Device Manager and you will see 'HP Scanjet G4010' and driver version 9.0.0.0 from Hewlett-Packard 4/10/2007, the device status should say 'The device is working properly.'
Very basic scanning should be possible even before the complete HP software package is loaded.
Next, retrieve the latest software from HP as below:
.... setup_full_G4000.exe (198,016 kb) ....
Save to your drive, then Right click, choose properties, click tab for 'Compatibility'

Click 'Change settings for all users'
Place checkmark in box next to 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and then from drop-down choose, Windows Vista (Service Pack 2), click 'Apply', then OK, OK to close all windows.

Now start the installation by "Double clicking" to run install, be patient, it may take a while to begin!
Also, watch the task bar as UAC message box mentioned above may appear behind the active window!
At the UAC message click 'Yes'

Follow on-screen instructions as usual. I used the default install except as noted below . . .
(Personally, I choose the advanced installation so I could uncheck the "HP Photosmart Essential 1.12" since I prefer to use alternate software for this purpose. It should not matter whether you choose to install or not.)
Once installed, open "HP Solution Center"; go to "Help" then click "Check for updates"

Mine prompted for "Latest Version of HP Update, Version 5.2" ... This update has opt-in/out feature for individual updates, Win 7 compatibility, and minor bug fixes.

Click next to download and install. When you get the 'Installation succeeded message, click Finish"

Decided I would be spending more time and effort than this scanner was worth. I went and purchased an Epsom. My plan is to rid my house of everything HP. They are not the company they were for so many years, must be the cost accountants are running the show.

hi friend,

u can download software in
www.econtentos.com/scanner-driver.htm

Installing a scanner on newer PCs is pretty straight-forward. If the scanner is a USB device, you'll need to install the software CD that came with the scanner. These will normally be one or two disks and a few others that usually only prove to be trial software or other programs you do not need. Be wary of installing these third-party CDs, as you likely will never use them and they tend to want to take over the way media is handled on your computer.

First, unpack the scanner from the box. Make sure you have all of the attachments and especially the quick setup instructions if they were in the box. You can assemble the scanner and set if off to the side. You can plug the power cable in, but do not plug the USB cable into the computer.
Boot up the computer and load the scanner software disk into the CD ROM drive. If it does not launch automatically, you can navigate to it through My Computer and click the setup.exe file. If there are additional disks for your scanner that need to be loaded, you will be prompted for them.
Once the software has been installed, you can then attach the USB cable to the computer. Windows should find the new scanner and load the drivers for it automatically.
Troubleshooting Scanner Problems:

If your scanner had worked in the past but has stopped functioning, you can usually unplug the scanner, then go to Add / Remove Programs in the Control Panel and remove the scanning software. Then you can repeat the installation process above.

thank u for using fixya

Hi,
I understand your concern that you are unable to remove previous HP drivers installed on your computer. To resolve this download the HP software removal utility and run the utility.

Click here to download HP software removal utility.

NOTE: Select your OS and select HP software utility At bottom and click on download only. After dowloading run the utility for four times to remove the HP printer software completely from your computer.

After running the utility four times restart the computer and check whether HP Imaging folder is completely deleted or not which as located in C:/progra files/HP Imaging folder. If the folder is not there then the software is removed completely from your computer and continue to download the Full Feature software from the same link and install it.

Now try to scan from HP solution center. This should resolve the issue.

I reformatted my computer with Windows XP home addition and re install all programs except IE 7.
I then re install the scanner driver and HP director that was distributed with the scanner, and after that Director was working fine
Thanks
Dirk

Hi Shantala,

HP advises that, on some systems, the scanner hardware may get into an error state that will keep the scanning software from finding the 3200c ScanJet. If your scanner still isn't found after installing this driver and software update, please follow the directions below:

1. Unplug the power cable from the 3200c ScanJet.
2. Unplug the parallel cable(s) from the 3200c ScanJet.
3. Shut down the PC and wait for ten seconds.
4. Plug in the power cable to the 3200c ScanJet.
5. Plug in the parallel cable(s) to the 3200c ScanJet.
6. Power your PC on.

If you still have the problem, uninstall the driver from device manager, and download and run this .exe file version of the driver instead.. and if necessary, repeat the above steps..

Hope this helps
