Using a USB legacy scanner for Mac OS X can be accomplished with this set of TWAIN/SANE tools based on the SANE implementation for *NIXes.
Since it took me a while to find what I needed to get my old HP ScanJet 5470c to work on Mac OS X (10.5), I wanted to post this link accompanied by some of the keywords for scanners that others may use (so they’ll have an easier time finding it on search engines):
http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/
This site lists several binary packages which should make your scanner work for you, too … after you installed them in the following order:
- gettext
- libusb
- SANE backends (installs all, even though you may only need the HP 54XX one)
- SANE Preference Pane
- TWAIN SANE Interface
After installing all these, go to the SANE Preference Pane and disable all the backends you don’t need (at least that’s what I did; it works for me, but I don’t know if it’s necessary). Next I clicked on Configure and then OK; without this step, apparently, the SANE/TWAIN interface is not activated. After closing the preference pane and entering my password to store the settings, I opened Image Capture. A preview dialog popped up and my already connected scanner did a quick preview scan. From there I was able to scan the document on the flatbed.
If this does not happen for you, make sure your scanner is properly connected. By going to the Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info, you get access to the System Profiler. One of the last entries in the left column under hardware should be USB. After selecting this entry, the right panel should show the USB Device Tree. Make sure your scanner shows up in that list.
If that still does not help, try restarting your Mac, although that should not be necessary.
I presume this works for pretty much any scanner listed in SANE’s Supported Devices List, but it may be of particular interest for legacy devices such as:
Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 2100c, 2200c, 2300c, 3300c, 3400c, 3500c, 3530c, 3570c, 3800c, 3970c, 4070 Photosmart, 4100c, 4200c, 4200cse, 4200cxi, 4300c, 4300c Silitek, 4370c, 5200c, 5300c, 5370c, 5400c, 5470c, 5490c, 5550c, 5590c, 6200c, 6250c, 6300c, 6350c, 6390c, 7400c, 7450c, 7490c, 7650c, 8200c, 8250c, 8290c, G3010
Update: Some people have commented with problems on Snow Leopard. One commenter suggested that VueScan works, but it’s not free. You can probably find a used scanner that does work on craigslist for less than what VueScan costs.

Thank you very much. Your directions got my old campus HP Scanjet 6300c working with my newer laptop even though HP no longer supports the drivers. I was going to pitch the scanner today but decided to give it one more chance. Thanks for making my work from home a little easier and for making the world a little greener.
March 7, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Thanks so much – I’ve been periodically searching and meanwhile keeping an old emac that runs OS9 – just to use my HP5470c scanjet scanner. Now we can use Image Capture and also Photoshop to scan. Much appreciated.
March 14, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Thank you very much – you just saved my sanity.
April 3, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Another thank you – I can now use my old HP 4200c scanner. Really didn’t want to spend money on a new scanner, so this is great!
May 27, 2009 at 4:03 pm
thanks man. i found a hp 6300c in the trash and now it work on my mac so 10 thanks to you
June 23, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Thanks for putting this together; other instruction on sane is pretty sparse.
“After installing all these, go to the SANE Preference Pane and disable all the backends you don’t need”
How do I get to the SANE Preference Pane?
Thanks,
Steve
November 10, 2009 at 3:28 pm
It’s in System Preferences on the bottom. Sorry for the late reply …
July 28, 2009 at 5:15 am
Thanks for your help! I was appalled when I tried to go through the HP website for the Mac driver and would have had to pay over $10 to order a CD. This installation worked for me and I was able to use it in Microsoft Word (Mac version) to import my scans as a picture. Thanks again!
August 5, 2009 at 9:22 pm
I have followed your suggested installation, and have checked to see if my scanner HP 5370c is properly connected and is, and when it did not work – restarted – and opened Image Capture again. However, the scanner is not there. Also checked in Photoshop and it is not available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
November 10, 2009 at 3:38 pm
In System Preferences, there is a SANE Preference pane that allows you to select back-ends to be used. Try the “avision” one instead of any of the HP and see whether that helps. Sorry for the late reply.
August 28, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Thanks from me too…. got my 5470c going easy as pie.
October 11, 2009 at 3:51 am
Hi, i tiried to use this tutorial whit SnowLeopard, the scanner is recognized but after the preview scansion it don’t do nothing, say scanning but nothing no sound/rumors from the scanner.. any solution?! thanks a lot
November 10, 2009 at 3:25 pm
I am about to upgrade to Snow Leopard and will let you know what I can find out.
December 2, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I’ve got the same problem with MacBook Pro and Snow Leopard 10.6.2 / SANE and a HP3530C – Its driving me mad – can’t find the solution! Has anyone seen and solved this problem. I’ve tried different programs ( ImageCapture, Acrobat etc ) but get the same issue. The scan starts ( scanner scans very slowly tho ) but then no image appears and the software hangs ( I’m presuming waiting for something from the scanner )
October 23, 2009 at 11:27 am
Great advice! Got my hp scanjet 5470c working, except I can’t get the XPA (transparency adaptor) to work…
Any ideas?
November 10, 2009 at 3:24 pm
I haven’t tried. Sorry.
November 14, 2009 at 1:45 pm
tried the procedure to connect my HP scanjet 2100C on my iMAC + Snow Leopard.
Seen in the system profile. installed the SANE packages. Can’t seem to get to “image capture”. Is it located anywhere in particular ?
December 16, 2009 at 7:00 pm
I have the TWAIN program working with my scanjet 5470c and have disabled all others in the SANe preferences (not east to find for a non mac-user). It will scan fine with 75dpi, but if I try to scan at a higher resolution, it just zooms in on a smaller section of the scan surface. Thus, if I try to scan at 150, it will only allow me to see a maximum of 1/4 of my page. If I scan at 300, only 1/8. I can still crop areas as usual on the higher dpi, but it is cropped from the 1/4 screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

January 2, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Successful with the install.
Image Capture sees 5470c.
Scanner will scan(Overview) but no image.
Can not set any of the scan parameters.
Can not do a scan (ghosted).
OSX 10.4.11
January 3, 2010 at 10:59 pm
Used with Hp Scanjet 5370c
Imac 2.8 GHz Intel
OS 10.6.2 Snow Leopard
No go with Image Capture and Sane crashes GraphicConverter 6.6
but VueScan 8.6 seems to work
The Scanner is found on the usb bus
Now how do I uninstall all of those files
January 29, 2010 at 6:17 am
Thank you so much! The stupid HP support page should link to your post, or at least mention the SANE stuff…
You saved my ass 🙂
January 31, 2010 at 11:53 am
worked fine for me too! HP Scanjet, Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) using hp drivers from SANE Preference pane.
February 9, 2010 at 2:05 am
Searched extensively for this solution for my legacy HP 5470c scanner for several years before tossing it away. Your post saved my investment. Couldn’t install the OS X 10.5 version of gettext but installed everything else and all works great.
Any ideas on a Mac OCR solution?
But really! Thanks a million for this.
February 9, 2010 at 2:17 pm
works.
obviously sane authors fixed the snow leopard bug!
please update the initial post.

I was able to get this package to almost connect to my old HP scanner but the downside is it all but diables my optical USB mouse which i need more. uninstalling worked except now periodically my mouse freezes up, requiring unplugging/re-plugging to get it to reset. anyone else xperience this and how can i get it resolved?
thanks!
April 1, 2010 at 3:16 pm
Thank you so much for posting this! I tried it and it worked right away, but then it stopped working and kept saying that a session couldn’t be started. I reinstalled everything and now it’s telling me it can’t even find the scanner. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
April 30, 2010 at 9:17 am
Well I’m having the same problems with it as the other HP5470c users. No workie with the XPA and that’s what I really need. Thanks for the help though, I’ll keep working on it and up date this post if I figure it out.
May 10, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Worked great! Very easy to follow. I forgot to power on my scanner before installing so I had to reboot before it started working.
Thanks again!
June 2, 2010 at 8:58 am
I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and have an HP 5470c that I’ve been trying to get to work consistently. The HP Scan utility works VERY sporatically.
I stumbled on your post and solution, and have been attempting to get it up and running. When I tried to install the SANE-BACKENDS-10.6.SDK, I get an error message which states:
“sane-backends-10.6.sdk can’t be installed on this computer. Please install the Mac OS X 10.6 SDK package before installing the sane-backends 10.6 SDK package”
When I try to search for a basic ‘Mac OS X 10.6 SDK package’, I have no luck finding one. Can you suggest a solution? Will this solution work without the SANE-BACKENDS installed?
Thanks!

i got 3400C, SANE control panel installed but could not find the backend 😦 ……..PLEASE HELP ………
July 13, 2010 at 9:25 am
Thanks for the install order! I had no clue. Anyway, I got TWAIN SANE to work with my HP ScanJet 4300c using Image Capture on my iMac running OSX 10.4.11. Just FYI: I had to set image capture to use TWAIN Software. In Image Capture go to Devices > Browse Devices > TWAIN SANE > Click on SANE > and at the bottom of the window click on “use TWAIN software”. It would make my scanner run but not show any image before I did this.

Thanks for the info on getting TWAIN SANE to work with my HP Scanjet 4300C going on my iBook running OSX 10.5.8…used Image Capture

Just wanted to add another thank you! A friend gave me an old HP 4300C and your directions have got it working like a charm!
January 26, 2011 at 4:19 pm
which sane driver did you select?
I have an 4300C as well
July 13, 2013 at 6:56 pm
Use niash.
At the below website, scroll down to HP to ScanJet 4300c, it uses niash driver. Select it, there is no configuration options for it. Just close the Preferences, enter the password. Done.
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html
Once you start Image Capture, follow the instructions that Mike listed to select “use TWAIN software”.
February 6, 2011 at 2:51 am
dear Lisa,
I didn’t manage to find the 4300c in the list,
how did you manage,
thank in advance mirjam
April 6, 2011 at 12:39 pm
I dont find 4300C in the list too, so made the following:
Select hp4200 driver in sane preferences, than click settings for this driver and add following lines to the opened window:
# HP Scanjet 4300C
usb 0x03f0 0x0305
Maybe you will need to reboot.
This help me, my 4300C now is alive.

Thank you for this helpful information. I am trying to use the HP ScanJet 5370C with Transparency Adapter XPA I just acquired. I can scan normally on the flatbed, but the XPA hangs up (scanner light flashes repeatedly). I wondered if there are any updates here that would be helpful. Thank you!
February 14, 2011 at 5:01 pm
I am not sure the XPA is even supported by SANE, because it’s a rather special configuration.

Thank you, thank you!! After having transitioned from PC to Mac I wasn’t able to get my ancient HP Scanjet 4200c to work on the iMac.

July 13, 2013 at 7:10 pm
Use niash back end. Then in Image Capture go to Devices>Browse Devices> a window will open up, in that window select SANE, then look in the bottom left corner of that same window, there will be a box next to Use TWAIN software, put a check mark in the box, click OK, quit Image Capture. Start Image Capture, it will work now.

I found an HP 5370c scanner at a thrift store in good-as-new condition this weekend. This post is what pointed me in the right direction to get it to work with my new Mac Mini!
The TWAIN/SANE site has new software for 10.6 Snow Leopard and it worked perfectly.
THANKS for the tip! I was all ready to go spend real $$$ on a new scanner, but now I have everything I need for a grand total of $20. Most excellent.

Yet another big thank you to you for the careful instructions!
My 15 year old HP Scanjet 5300C had run on Windows only. Today I tried setting it up for the first time with my Leopard MacBook Pro and it worked beautifully. I stumbled initially in choosing the correct driver (5300C not listed explicitly) but it was not hard to find avision after a little reading around in this page.
To all the above frustrated souls, please go slow and read carefully.

Hi, a client loaned me an HP Scanjet 3970. My Mac (OS 10.6.8) can’t find the scanner. I downloaded the driver/software from HP, then all the packages from the link on this page and nothing is happening. Scanner still not found. USB and power cords are firmly plugged in. Help?
August 25, 2011 at 5:19 pm
Thank you, thank you, thank you! A friend gave me her HP 6400c and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to use it with my MacBook running Snow Leopard, but now I can. 🙂
September 5, 2011 at 2:01 pm
i tried all the HP backends, and tried the avision backend, and still my scanner can’t be detected! it’s an hp 3400c, i’m using leopard 10.5.8, and both my cords are good. what else can i do?
September 5, 2011 at 2:40 pm
got off my duff and looked it up- for everyone else, try the NIASH backend, it’s meant specifically for the 3400c! (though it still wont work through image capture, you’ll have to use photoshop)
October 17, 2011 at 7:02 am
Thank you. My hp4370 now scans perfectly on my macbookpro but I can’t scan color slides. When I click on Scan Mode I don’t get any choice but “Flatbed”.
November 21, 2011 at 3:45 am
My HP Scanjet 5370c I carried over from my old PC days, and I’ve had it successfully linked to my 2003 eMac through the OS 9 driver download HP provides. (My particular model of eMac being one that supports OS 9). Since the new Intel-chipped Macs arrived though, along with OS X 10.5 and above, I’ve had ZERO luck in finding anything that will connect the Scanjet to the newer OS versions Apple has released.
My solution ultimately was to take the Snow Leopard-equipped MacBook Pro I had, and through Bootcamp, create a partition on the HD for Windows XP. Now I can connect to pretty much anything for a peripheral device made in the last 10 years with no problem.
Only drawbacks? I have to take 20 seconds to reboot into OS X after scanning, and retrieve the images from the XP partition – that, and using Windows… but other than those two issues, Simple.

Hey! what’s about drivers for HP scan jet G2710 for Mac? I’ve buy a Macbook Pro and I want to use my scanner, (and my old printer, HP laser jet 6L). Anybpdy knows if that’s possible, and how?!

Those of you trying to use a ScanJet 4300C, use the “niash” driver.
July 14, 2012 at 12:30 am
Thank you, it works great for my old ScanJet 3400C! Sane is a bit slower than the original Windows driver, but it is much faster than launching Windows for it…

Which link? I just tested the primary links at the beginning of the post and they appear to work.
December 26, 2012 at 10:02 am
Thanks for this great page! I’m a MacPorts user; I just did “sudo port install twain-sane”, and everything I needed installed. The built-in OS X “Image Capture” program works like a champ under Snow Leopard with my Scanjet 4100C.
January 28, 2013 at 10:32 am
Guys like you really make the world a better place, TJ.
I’ll try to figure out my way through the installation process (i’m no expert on the subject and I have S.Leopard), but in the mean time I’d like to say I’m glad you all exist. You relieve all of us (the rest of the globe population, or at least the ones that are able to find your developments and use them) of the feeling that these greedy companies own us entirely and will suck us dry to our last drop of blood.
But it isn’t just that…These scanners were all bought 10 ys ago or less, and a lot of them are in general good shape. You are blessed for preventing us from trashing them away just because of some (intentional) gap in copyrighted software. That is a serious green enterprise!!!
Chapeau!

I have Windows 2000 runing virtual on my PowerMac G5 and it’s perfect. I run the HP scanjet 5470c there also, because there was no drivers for Mac. But then I so this page and whant to try it on the Mac native instead. I have as a told you, HP Scanjet 5470c and Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard on a PowerMac G5 Quad Core 2.5GHz. I’ve done all the installation as told and in right order and then I did the settings in the preference also. Then I restart my Mac. The scanner show’s up in the USB device on my Mac. Good I think, but then I see that the scanner was dead. Couldn’t make it work anymore, even i Windows 2000. Sad there is. Any answers?? Shall the TWAIN SANE drivers damage my scanner?

Sadly, my HP 2200C didn’t work with this tutorial — but I also tried a Mustek 1200 UB and it worked, although sometimes my Photoshop crashed while trying to handle the scanner. Neither the Mustek 1200 UB nor HP 2200C appeared under Image Capture, though.
I can see the HP 2200C listed under the USB group on System Information, but it was no use anyway. It wasn’t available under Photoshop or Image Capture.
I’m running Maverick 10.9 on a Macbook Pro.
As I really wanted to use the HP scanner, I’ve also installed Windows XP (since this was the Windows version used when this scanner was around) under Parallels on my Mac. Using drivers downloaded from HP website, I was able to make it work.
Both HP 2200C and Mustek 1200 UB worked on Windows XP under Parallels.
Something important!
Regarding the quality of the images, using Windows drivers it was clear that the images scanned with SANE on Mac OS had a worst result than scanned using the original Windows drivers for the Mustek 1200 UB on Parallels.
So, for those who — as me — couldn’t make your scanner work properly with SANE, it’s worth trying Parallels. I only use it for this, but until now it is worthy.
An alternative would be just buying a new flatbed scanner compatible with Mac OS! 🙂

Hi. For my HP 4400c, I’ve tried adding the following to the hp or hp4200 backend, without success. Any suggestions?
# HP Scanjet 4400C
usb 0x03f0 0x0705
My Mac can see the scanner in the System Profiler, but vuescan cannot (my “Image Capture” software is somehow corrupt and not working (that’s another issue!).
Many thanks in advance.
