2014-02-21 - Updated for Windows 8 I've been working at getting my old HP ScanJet 4500C working with Windows 7 x64 for a while now, and I finally cracked it! I can't believe how simple the solution turned out to be. So, straight into the details. The basic idea is to use the HP driver software for the ScanJet 5590. Since the 5590 has a different USB product id (1705) to the ScanJet 4500C (1205), we need to alter the 5590 software package's inf file before installing. Uninstall any existing HP driver software for the ScanJet 4500C.

Since the.inf file has now been 'tampered' with, the supplied driver hash is invalid and Windows probably hasn't loaded the driver.

To allow Windows to load our modified driver, go ahead and disable driver signature enforcement. If you don't know how to do this, check out this. In Devices and Printers select the hp scanner device and update the driver. Choose to specify driver from a specific location and browse to the extracted 5590 files you created above.

Re-install and specify the driver in the location of your modified Hpgt5590.inf file. Happy scanning! The procedure in this post is based on the idea that the scanner hardware HP5590 and HP4500 are so similar (in appearance at least) that the software for the HP5590 (which does support Win7 x64) could be used with a HP4500 if the differing USB id issue is overcome. Unfortunately I don't own a HP5500 and I don't know if this same approach could be used. The first step would be to identify a later model scanner from HP that looks identical as the HP5500, and for which Win7 x64 drivers are available.
