Can I ask why HP scanners need their own app? Are they just porting code from Windows? I feel as if HP is large enough that they would have a contact within Apple to help update drivers and whatnot if HP felt the need to make hardware changes that would break standard setup protocol.
Crazy! Apple has great marketing to give the impression the hardware and software are perfect. I already moved on from Apple earlier this year. "Only solution?" Wow.Image Capture/Preview/Photos is why I am moving to Android/Windows. This forum has been my life for the last four years with my iPhones:
Image Capture not seeing photos on iPhone
Plugging in phone via cable. Image Capture launches and can see the device, but no images or videos show up in the list. It was working when I was running the Public Beta, but now running the general release of 10.14.0 it's no longer working properly (this is the first time I've connected the...forums.macrumors.com
I cannot get *any* Mac to see my iPhones, from macOS 10.12 through 11.
I was finally able to get my photos off of my phones using a Chromebook!
Apple's only solution was to use iCloud Photos.
Yes, Apple has turned into Boeing. More emphasis on profit and squeezing suppliers for every penny.
That's too bad. I remember permission issues in the past with OS X and it was a hassle. No problems on Win10/11.
I don’t work for HP but have been working as Mac software support for 15 years. One of the common fixes to users issues, or advices to avoid them, was “do not use or install the rubbish software which comes with your printer or scanner”. Apple built-in drivers worked just fine. This is the first or second time in Mac history where there is such issue, and has probably something to do with Apple tightening screws on security. People who want to run to Windows/Android because of this need to seriously CTFO or, bye. Oh and BTW, coincidentally, happy user of HP all-in-one laser printers and would always recommend them to everyone.
…and yes, Windows has a stellar record when it comes down to user security and permissions 🙄
We are using four scanners, that work with Mac.
My old scanner, which I might actually have, was v e r y slow... I wouldn't waste my time trying to get it running, but it's cool that someone is trying to continue to offer support. Which do you like the best?
The app works on multi platform and all the printer ranges, you don’t have to but it’s better to use it
Apologise for inconvenient bugs? They do not even apologise for battery scams or knowingly selling a faulty keyboard for three years. They would have more support if they were not so arrogant, deceitful, and dishonest.
Actually, all works really well. If I have to choose, I would say, the Epson scanners (the V600 has the biggest DMax) and Epson Scan utility... is a solid tool... but Brother's iPrint&Scan isn't bad either.
Probably. I guess they will iOSify it - something like scan to Files app. Btw what’s the other issue?
Apple should resolve this sooner rather than later, some rely on scanners, going through hoops is not OK.
Reminds me of that late 80’s driver issue live on stage when a Microsoft presenter right beside Bill Gates crashed Windows by plugging in a printer = blue screen of death. 😂
Neither. You're supposed to pretend the problem never existed.
