Why doesn’t my scanner work on macOS Catalina
![Scan Scan](/uploads/1/2/6/2/126285409/993651858.png)
Starting with macOS Catalina (10.15), Apple required all software to be 64-bit. This was a problem for many scanner drivers since they were written in the era when drivers were 32-bit.
Apple also required that all software be ‘notorized’. Since many manufacturers didn’t want to go back and re-notorize their old software, it wasn’t possible to use their drivers.
VueScan works differently. We independently reverse engineer the scanner drivers so that you can keep using your scanner, even if there isn’t a driver available from the manufacturer.
How do I scan on a Mac?
- Install VueScan on your computer
- Make sure that VueScan detects your scanner
- Press ‘Scan’
- Save your scan as a PDF or JPG
What is the best scanner software for Mac?
VueScan Scanner Software is recognized as the best scanner software for macOS because of it’s compatability with over 6000 scanners. That way you don’t need to find and download individual scanner drivers, especially because on macOS Catalina so many manufacturers didn’t release updated drivers.
How do I get my mac to recognize my scanner?
With VueScan, all you need to do to recognize your scanner is install and open VueScan. If your scanner is recognized, it will appear on the right hand panel on the screen. If it doesn’t appear, please let us know! We want to fix any problems that appear. You can submit a problem report to us here
The first step is to check the available HP driver situaton for the device's Catalina compatibility. on HP's site. That link should point you to the Nov 2019 release of HP's Easy Start 2.9.0.189 software. Power on your printer. Once you download, install, and run that HP software, you may, or may not have 64-bit drivers for Catalina. You are not done yet.
Invalid parameters were detected for an operation macos error codes. Apple's built-in AirPrint also supports this device via wired/wireless network for printing without needing HP software. AirPrint is not a solution for your scanner though, and if there is no HP scanner driver support, you may have to resort to using the paid, non-subscription, 64-bit VueScan product which does support the scanner on your device without any HP software required.
You will need to Reset your Print system, so that what Easy Start installed can be utilized by the printer. You will have the option of choosing your device name, or AirPrint when you re-add the printer.
