Win11 and old printer/scanner. Universal scanner driver ( WIA or TWAIN) available?

[Thomas]

Thanks for the great naps2 software.

Since my old win10 computer has finally given up the ghost, I have switched to a new win11 computer.
My old printer HP dj3050 (product number: Q6504A) has worked perfectly in win10 and naps2 so far.

Unfortunately, the printer is no longer recognized under win11, but continues to work well as a printer with the HP Universal PCL6 printer driver.

However, no WIA or TWAIN drivers are installed. Is there a solution for this? Universal scanner drivers?

Greetings

You'll have to try and install the drivers. https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/hp-deskjet-3050-all-in-one-printer-series-j610/4066450

If that doesn't work there aren't really any other options with Windows (though Linux would probably work out of the box).

thanks, but this is my printer

and HP does not offer a Win11 compatible driver (WIA or TWAIN) for the scanner included in the printer.

You can try the Windows 10 driver.

no chance, because win11 does not recognize this USB printer.

Try running setup in compatibility mode.
