Scanjet 4470c is ignoring the powerswitch and can only be switched on or off by pulling the powercord.
The powerswitch is still clicking but has no control anymore.
What could be the reason?
Tks in advance for any help.
My 4470C does have a power switch, and the switch previously worked. Now it does not, and also, the computer no longer recognizes the scanner. Trying to figure out how to reset the scanner, if possible.

Hi , I succeeded to make my Scanjet 4470c run in WIA mode under W7 32-bit Ultimate . Should also work with W7 64-bit . Make sure driver XP ( yes , XP ) is correctly installed . Then , download and install FreeKapture ( yes , it's free ) from here : http://download.cnet.com/FreeKapture/3000-2094_4-10673689.html Load Freekapture , clic on Scan and select WIA-Hewlett-Packard . Scanner works fine in this mode but if you choose HP PrecisionScan Pro , program will freeze . In any case , no slides or negatives scans possible but the rest works . Regards .

Hi , Vista or W7 , it's the same problem : there are no more drivers for Scanjet 4470c . I find a way though , to make the mine work in WIA mode under W7 32-Bit Ultimate . Should work with Vista too . Make first sure driver XP ( yes , XP ) is correctly installed . Now , download and install Freekapture ( it's free ) from :http://download.cnet.com/FreeKapture/3000-2094_4-10673689.html Load Freekapture , clic on Scan and select WIA-Hewlett-Packard . Scanner works fine in this mode but if you choose HP PrecisionScan Pro , program will freeze . In any case , no slides or negatives scans possible but the rest works . As for the buttons , only power button will respond . Regards .
I checked the HP website - probably just like you did. They do not have drivers for the Scanjet 4470c. Looks like time to get a new scanner... You can list the current model on craigslist - maybe someone would be interested in it themselves.
You will not find drivers for this old scanner. Sorry but this scanner is not compatible with Tiger, Leopard, or Snow Leopard, and HP offers no drivers other than for OSx 8.0 & 9.0 which are 10 years old. Time to purchase a new scanner.
