Hp Scanner 4850
Dannie Heinzen
I recently changed to Windows 10 and now I cannot use my HP Scanjet 4850. I cannot find a driver to make this work. (But once, yesterday, while trying unsuccessfully to use the HP Support Assistant, it actually came on and enabled me to make and save one picture scan. Once closed, however, I could not get it back.)
Thanks ever so much. Do you know if this will restore all or most of the features of the scanner? Or just a bare basic scanning of photos? I ask because HP Tech Support already called and helped me get the scanner connected to use bare basic photo scanning, but the tech said I could not get back the full features, like OCR scanning of text to make it editable, various adjustment possibilities, etc. So if HP Extended will restore more of those feature, I want to do it; if not, I do not now need to. (And if it will, will there be a problem downloading HP Extended over what I now have?)
I recently received an HP scanjet 4850, and I really want to use it to scan some film. I have tried everything to get this guy to work for me, but nothing does it. I haven't been successful with finding a driver for it to work, and I even have a windows 10 computer I have tried it on a number of times as well without any success. If you know how I can connect this to my mac and download a driver it would be unreal, if I have to use windows I still need a driver, but any help is appreciated because as of now its nothing but a pile of plastic. Thanks in advanced!
If it doesn't work, give it a try on Windows, for Windows, there are better chances you may get it to work by using an older driver, the scanner is officially supported on Windows 8.1 or older versions, but there are good chances that a Windows 8.1 will work on Windows 10 too).

Kodak Alaris has several integration options for our scanners.
We have traditional thick client integration options with our TWAIN and ISIS and WIA drivers as well as an easy to use Scanner SDK.
We also have a state of the art RESTful Web API for integration to our network enabled scanners from any platform without installing host drivers.
Featuring 100% solid-state technology, there are no moving parts that can fail or require routine maintenanceensuring years of uninterrupted, trouble-free operation. Combined with a full three- year comprehensive warranty, the 4850dr delivers unmatched reliability and a low total cost of ownership.
As far as I know, Kodak i4850 has the option to integrate with ISIS driver so it should work well with Laserfiche ScanConnect. Kindly appreciate if anyone can confirm me with it and share some experience with me if you have used Kodak i4850 or any newer Kodak scanner. Thank you!
Unless a customer needs a specific capability only provided by ISIS drivers, we strongly recommend using TWAIN drivers with Laserfiche because our support case data shows they are significantly more reliable and less fiddly. I wouldn't use ScanConnect/ISIS drivers unless that's your only viable option. I don't want to give the impression that ScanConnect/ISIS is bad, only that all else equal, the TWAIN option is better and you shouldn't use ISIS support as a decision criteria by itself.
If you do have to use ScanConnect/ISIS, while I don't see that specific model on the Laserfiche ScanConnect 8.3 Supported Scanners list, many other Kodak models are. The list hasn't been updated in almost three years and should be interpreted as "what we had the opportunity to test with" rather than "only scanners on this list work". The more up to date Supported Scanners list shows that we certified the Kodak i4600 with ScanConnect back in 2010. I'm guessing that's a predecessor in the same hardware family that plausibly shares a driver lineage with the i4850.
The reason why they use ScanConnect/ISIS driver is because they have get used to it and are reluctant to change since it has been working as always. I will review their solution design to see if it is possible to change to TWAIN so that it is more stable on Laserfiche side. If eventually TWAIN is not a viable option in their case, I will let them know we have certified Kodak i4600 which is the same hardware family that is likely to share the same driver lineage with Kodak i4850. And we will also request a test unit from Kodak to run through integration test with their solutions.
If they're reluctant to change because they're used to the ScanConnect/ISIS driver and it's been working fine, I don't see any issue testing it out with the i4850 and using it if you don't encounter any issues. I'd just also test with TWAIN so you can have that as a validated backup option if you do encounter any issues with the ScanConnect/ISIS driver.
