Saying Thanks! My HP Scanjet 5470c stopped working out of the wild blue and I had put it aside. Actually I forgot that it wouldn't work. I needed the slide scanning feature and pulled it out only to be disappointed that it wasn't working. I went to Google and I found you. Thanks to you I now have a working Scanner again. Thanks. Steve Ferrerio PS It wouldn't let me pick the 5470c as the product listed below, but that is what it is, not the4470c

Yes, same problem with my 4470c HP flatbed scanner.

I would say the most likely cause of the issue is either that the scanner is no longer functioning or that it is experiencing power issues. Make sure that the scanner is plugged in directly to the wall and not into a surge protector or a power strip. The scanner does not share power well and pulls it in large amounts - when it can't get it it throws little power fits and sometimes will not turn on at all. Try another wall outlet and see if you can get it to power on and do a scan without the yellow strip showing up.

Dear go to www.hp.com click on support and drivers then enter your product model now you choose your operating system and download driver free.
First install its software or driver only then you should attach your scanner (when your computer demand or required for its attachment).

better download the latest driver for your scanner from the hp's website and while selecting the new driver you have to specify that you are using windows 7 and also specify if it is 32 bit or 64 bit you will get the driver , install it and connect the scanner it will work ..... thats all....

Driver for 5470c scanner will not work with windows 7

Hi ,
Scanjet 5470c does'nt work under W 7 . No drivers available .
Here are a few hints :
1° hint :
Do not connect scanner .
Load XP driver ( yes , XP) , reboot , connect scanner and wait for confirmation of successfull operation .
Reboot .
Dowload and install FreeKapture ( yes , it's free ) from http://download.cnet.com/FreeKapture/3000-2094_4-10673689.html
Open Freekapture , clic on Scan and select WIA-Hewlett-Packard . Scanjet 4470c works fine in this mode but if you choose HP PrecisionScan Pro , program will hang .
In any case , no slides or negatives scans possible but the rest works .
2° hint :
If you have the W XP install disc , you could install a virtual version of W XP on your HDD ( http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/desktop_downloads/vmware_player/3_0 ) You could also partition your HDD ( http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html ) and install W XP on the new one . Regards .

No power to hp 5470c scanjet. Have not used it for about 6 months. Now can get 0 power. Could it be the power adapter? Or is it in the machine? Have tried different electrical outlets and still no power.
